A design trade with the amazing, inspirational and long-time artist friend, SavannaEGoth!!! [https://www.deviantart.com/savannaegoth]

She and I have had this design trade sitting in forgotten limbo for months until she finally messaged me a few weeks back and was like, ????????? WE WERE DOING THIS???? AND I WAS LIKE, OH GOD WE WERE WTF

And then she created this amazing beast who is now named East Hastings and is the girlfriend/soon to be wife of one of my other OCs, and I'm just in love????? How tf did she know what kind of character I wanted??????????

ANYWAY, I was talking to my boyfriend, Voodoo, about how I wanted to do something just as good in return and showed him the mood boards Essiah showed me and he immediately suggested the 'Potoo' bird which is just horrifying looking (tho sometimes derpy looking too) and I loved it and ran with it!

So here we are! Spook bird for spooky month!

THANKS FOR THE TRADE AND PATIENCE MY DUDE, YOU ROCK WTF.

If you see this, it means I likely posted this art using PostyBirb, an app that lets you post art and updates to multiple sites at once. It's a great app that's helped me increase my reach. If you need anything from me, I am most active on DeviantArt, and after that, Twitter, and under that, FurAffinity, so those are the best places to contact me. DeviantArt is my preferred method.

Otherwise, I may take a while to respond to a note or message!
