Geococcyx californianus

This was inspired by Gary's Road runner. That he posted in the xara X forum. They are unique birds of the United States southwestern states. I liked it so much I thought that I would try to draw one in Xara x to go with my Bald eagle.

Bruce - I assume you know that the posting of copyrighted designs is not usually appropriate in the talkgraphic.com forums. In this case I suppose the arguement is that its posting falls under the fair use provisions of copyright law because we are reviewing the design relative to other images of roadrunners.

Why do you suppose the TV roadrunner is blue?

Regards, Ross

PS - Your roadrunner portrait looks great except its a shame you cut off its head. Aren't there laws preventing such things?

My roadrunner (actually it appears we have a pair, my photo was of the female, the male is larger)wants to meet your roadrunner. She says she is currently in a relationship but wants out. Her S.O. has been seeing some canary and she cannot take very much more of this. She longs for the intense heat of Arizona and finds New Mexico high desert heat to be bone chilling :-)

Nice rendering of the feathers and beak (BTW).

Thanks Ross and Gary for your comments.
I did not mean to post a copyrighted image. I claim no rights to that second roadrunner. That is copyright by Warner Brothers.

And of course it was created by Chuck Jones.

I just thought I would try a rendition of it.
I don't know why it is blue. I guess we would have to ask Chuck. You can do anything in cartoons. Of course my first road runner would like to go to New Mexico to meet Gary's female bird. Maybe he could cool off a bit. The temperature here is about 110 degrees farenheit here in the day. That is about 44 degrees Celsius.
or centigrade.
