Paitishek Concept Bust by Tiliquain (Patreon)

My mate Tiliquain helped me design the Paitishek and has some concept sketches that I'll share here first. This one won't be going up elsewhere for another week or two.

Fun fact: The crests were the last thing we added. We tried horns at first, but they just didn't look right, especially when considering this species is semi-aquatic. 

Crests that can show emotion is something we've always liked. Our pet cockatiel expressed herself quite well with her yellow crest. She was a wonderful bird <3.

Does this look like a Paitishek to you? Let me know what you think in the comments.
