This is a plao art i made for the Species Box — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bubblesorg (talk • contribs) 18:26, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for starting a talk before adding your art. However, you should know that the best place to discuss new art is here: [1] Also make sure to sign your comment by typing "~ ~ ~ ~" (without quotes or spaces), it's just common courtesy. As for your art, there is a lot to improve on. The hands should have a single large thumb claw and the feet look much too big. Bright red and blue coloration would have been very unlikely, as carotenoids (bright red-producing pigments) did not evolve until modern birds and structural coloration (producing blue color) is completely unknown. I would recommend coloring it with patterns of browns, whites, blacks/greys, and rusty red. The overall artistic quality needs serious work, it looks so pixelated that it's hard to interpret the shape of the head. Maybe you could submit a revised version to the link I posted so that others could critique it. Fanboyphilosopher (talk) 18:52, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
