Today's doodle, coming in late (I had work to do... still finishing one last project!) is Zapdos, another of the legendary bird pokemon.

Zapdos, while interesting, is a pretty bad design as far as action goes, so I had a challenge pushing him into my style. I based the general body type and posing on humming birds, but at the same time I didn't want to go realistic and wanted this to resemble the original style, too.
Honestly, even the official animation have NO CLUE how to animate this weird bird creature that's all spikes.

I hope I did it justice!
