One of my earlier explorations of birrin aviation. The large vertical radiator was inspired by the Short Type 184 seaplane, and the shape of the cockpit is tailored to the flexible field of view of birrin aviators. (MyArt)

This was fun but hard!
"I got this, I made skulls before!"
but it was too lackin',
then I made pieces of the skeleton... but It was too bare.
So I made a front view of the skull, but it was too weird...
Then I remade the whole thing.😬

@alexriesart.bsky.social 's Birrin's skull everyone!🎉

Baby birrin and the anatomy of their eggs. Their eggs have protein caps which are exchanged several times during development. Color changes let attending birrin know the status of the embryo and when a new cap is needed.
