Tweety Bird Skeleton

Tweety Bird is characterized by his abnormally large skull and feet. To exaggerate the size of these two features, the size of his body,legs, and wings are smaller than they should be. Following that model, I made the skull of Tweety Bird extremely large. The skull is the dominating feature of the entire sketch. Regarding the feet of Tweety Bird, they are also distinctly large with only two "toes" or in the case of a bird, talons, on each foot. Thus, there are only the bones for two talons with the hint of sharpness at the end for whenever Tweety Bird gets into a fight with Sylvester. Then there are his "arms". In all the cartoons of him they appears as arms. However, there are moments when he flies with those wings and that is why I used the wing bones of a small bird to fill in his arms. Then the small torso is filled in with a rib cage and a pelvic bone. The tiny legs are also filled in with the skinny, lightweight bones of a small bird.
