Persona Draft Two

I can't make up my miiiind. I hope I have now. I changed my persona mostly because my previous one is very emotionless and awesome, which I am NOT, so here. Now it can crack a goofy smile at least. xP

It has a lot more recognizable lizard and bird qualities now. There were too many details going on in the other design. The proportions of the head had to be "spot-on" in order to achieve the right look. Now the head is more animalistic and familiar to me. The numerous feathers were a pain to draw continuously, so I just clumped them all together around its neck and put one giant feather at the end of the tail. MUCH easier.

The other persona was blatantly male, so this time I took out any chest details to make it look more neutral. Otherwise, if I make it female then I'd have to constantly draw clothes on it. I don't wanna. D;

Although I really like the other draft and I will be keeping it for future projects, this simpler, more distinct version will do better as an avatar, me thinks. But what the heck is it? I still have no idea. I'm guessing it's a vulture-raptor-crocodile-um... pharaoh hound. I have no other way to explain those stupid ears.

Apparently its chest was wounded by a nefarious cookie-cutter.
