I went with the idea birds used to be dinosaurs and added dino features to a chubby little bird.

We're in the final leg of creating Dinobird as a VR avatar companion and expecting to release it on/by September 10th at this point.

This little friend has been modeled and animated by Lynwen, and textured by @Temrin . Here are some previews as we finish it up.

This ‘#DinoBird’ wasn’t in #JurassicPark!

‘Weird’ dinosaur prompts rethink of bird #evolution

“One hundred and fifty million years ago, a young, bantam-sized, bird-like #dinosaur became mired in a swamp in what is now southeastern #China, and succumbed. Its fossilized remains, unearthed in 2022 and named Fujianvenator prodigiosus, show it to be one of the earliest bird-like dinosaurs to date from the #Jurassic period.“

‘Weird’ dinosaur prompts rethink of bird evolution

The fossil is as old as the ‘first bird’, Archaeopteryx, and might have specialized in running or wading instead of flying.
