Honestly, it’s a really nice piece! I should’ve waited until I was fully awake before posting 😞
It made me think about that porm “rhyme of the old mariner”, where sailors were stuck on a calm sea (no wind at all, I’m not sure what’s the real sailing term for that).
I don’t remember the full details, but a guy killed an albatross and got cursed for that. They hung the albatross around his neck as a sign of the curse.
Thus, bird + dead ship made me think of that story!
I think that’s a snake bird.
edit: unearned confidence got me again
I used a cormorant as reference, but they do look a lot alike. Didn’t know these kind of bird. They look very cool!
