Artist's Description:
Directly inspired by this image by Commander-Salamander on dA:
http://commander-salamander.deviantart.com/art/Kiwiana-156435117
For some reason, when looking at the thumbnail I didn't see a kiwi, ass covered in stars, facing left and pecking at the grass. My brain insisted it was a quadruped monster facing right, with a svelte, greyhound-like body, hulking shoulders and no head, the front of its body covered in strange, starfish shaped sensory organs. I couldn't shake the initial impression, so I painted it in between working on commissions.
Speedpaint, it probably took about 30 minutes.
