A friend of mine was talking to me bout how Blaze’s octobird form wouldn’t actually be that suited in the water so we went back n forth on ideas on how to improve that

First we made em fatter to withstand the cold water n depth, shortened the neck n legs while also thickening the head a bit to deliver a stronger bite blow, then..the wings, they are no longer wings but weird webbed limbs that work way better in the water and the webbing can be retracted to be just limbs and we’re all about making them look FREAKY!

Still gonna need to do touch-ups n so but a base of the idea is good

Will be scrapped later
