Torotix is a potentially aquatic Neornithean from the Western Interior Seaway, living in the Lance Formation of Wyoming, about 66 million years ago in the Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous. Torotix is thought to have been similar to a modern Pelican, within the. family of these animals, but it. is only known from part of the upper arm bone, so to be honest I somewhat doubt this assessment. It is, of course, possible, and regardless of what sort of bird it was, it probably was some sort of aquatic-typed Ornithuran, based on its location and resemblance to modern aquatic birds enough to assign it to one of their groups in the first place.

torotix replied to your photoset:So my bag arrived!! It’s a big outdoor backpack...
jeesh how much did one of those set you back? I remember all these nice Jojo products being hella expensive x-x
On the linked page you can see the bag itself was close to $100 itself and then I had to pay the shopping service to get it for me--so yeah, a bit costly.
That being said I've never shied away from spending money on something I know I will literally use until it falls apart. I might hesitate at figurines because they only stand on a shelf and look pretty, but for bags and clothes which I know I'll get a lot of use from I'm happy to go for it.
Plus, this was a collaboration with a legit outdoor products company so I know I'm getting a legit product with a decent life span.
These sketches are OLD, like 2 years back when I was afraid to show WIPs to people.
Let's say it's like an avian themed throwback tuesday or something.
In the left it's an old version of Rising Sirus and to the right is a rly old sketch of Ara, who is tumblr user torotix's character.
