Look at this gorgeous, monster bird beast. This is my boy, Jack, as he appears in a realm known as the Endless Forest. Hes getting some more art coming in. I'll show you all his human form soon enough.

Jack is obviously not a true albatross, nor just from one particular breed. This forms genetics samples from a few subspecies if albatross, some fantastical elements, and moose. He's about the height of a bull moose, though he's standing taller than usual here. However, he's much lighter than he looks, as he is flight capable.

Albatrosses are among my favorite birds. They've been described as the most legendary of all birds and I think that might be accurate. They're magnificent, graceful birds with the largest of all wing spans. They are massive. Unfortunately, there is not a single species that isn't at least vulnerable in conservation status. From irresponsible fishing practices to invasive species attacking their nesting grounds, albatrosses are disappearing. It makes me sad that some of my favorite animals are facing extinction. Which might be why I tend to donate to conservation efforts and whatnot.
