Rigging
For the neck I built an IK spline.
In the legs I used IK as well, but in the opposite direction it normally is for human legs.
In the wings I decided to make direct connections between the left and right wing.
This way I only needed to animate one wing instead of both.

Modelling
In order to keep the project not so expensive to render, I decided to keep the model very simple and
work with refined textures and opacity maps for the feathers.
