The first Ducat study made me intensely curious to see another breed... in another pose... definitely with beak open to show presence of teeth. And this one is female. (The other was obviously male, with his little curly tail plumage. I'm so glad you noticed :P)
I'm sure I'll be drawing more of these till I've had my fill of various Ducats. (it has attained proper noun status. Watch out.)
STILL dissatisfied with the tail. *stares at it for a few hours with a stylus poking out of her mouth*
