Description
Here's another "CU2" bird hot off my Wacom pad. The 'Akohekohe (or Crested Honetcreeper) once found plentifully in Maui and Moloka'i is now only found in the fog shrouded slopes of Haleakala amongst the 'ohi`a and koa forests. It is estimated that there are 3800 left in existence (due to avian malaria and habitat loss)
Rendered in Poser 7 with no postwork. Models: Songbird ReMix "More Cool & Unusual", Perching Places and a background of Haleakala.
