The Moa Project Continues
So what's with the obsession with the largest bird to ever live? Hell if I know, but it sure is fun to draw! :D
Behind the cut is the art and the story of these
Well, I want to integrate this 12'-tall extinct wingless New Zealand native to the animal character roster of the Cassandra & Sybil protocol. Why a moa? Because the size of its guano makes it indespensible to the Romano-Celtic practices of Seeing the future in a pile of fresh bird shit.
I myself, as the devine creator of this character, I know very little of it other than the species and initial purpose to the rest of the cast -- not even its Gender! (Female moa were taller than the males) So I would appreciate some help in giving this big guy (or gal) some depth. For instance, I need a name, a sex, and anything else that may be of use
Some other general 411 regarding this special bird:
- he/she was introduced to the Artemisian menagerie on Delos (Cassie and Syb's home island) later on (possibly as a gift? or a rescue?)
- he/she felt a bit awkward amongst his/her new Avian neighbors on Delos, but quickly adapted and filled the niche of Tijuana Taxi to the Penguins, Chickens, Waterfowl, etc. on the island
- There were still sufficient numbers of Moa in New Zealand & Madagascar at the time of Cassandra & Sybil (200's AD)
- this particular moa can outrun the fastest racing stallions in Rome, and has the potential to win championship titles on the Circuses throughout the empire
and here he/she is (I recommend cutting and pasting the properties to get a better view of it all
