I posted a yokai Au version of Ace and Noodle a bit ago and just got around to another design I had in mind for Snake.

So, Ace was a Tengu, specifically the more common humanoid variety. I made Snake the less common bird like kind, their feathers are very long and curly making it hard to fly, as they weigh them down.

The feathers are based on a Japanese chicken known as Onagadori, which have tails that can grow several feet in length.

Also: Kimono fold is incorrect/backwards (right over left) on purpose since they're a Yokai.
