The bearded vulture!

I feel like actually kind of did this one last minute, I've been playing around with Mermaid concepts for MerMay and distracted by other things that I just didn't get around to it till now. The entry deadline is tomarrow, so I feel like I could have spent more time on it then I did. Still there are parts of it I like and I may just go ahead and enter it anyways, but I may go back and do another or change it later on. I think part of me liked the idea of the vulture sort of leaning over and hunched up in a sort of classic vulture stance...but another part of me really wanted to draw a pose with the wings open or spread out in flight so it may be worth re-visiting later on...
