Aww this reminds me of the Elephant Bird. People were so careless back then! Great work!

Didn't know there were mini-emus. Quite sad they're extinct.

There is a recent paper that suggest all the extinct forms might have been subspecies of the extant species, which still a shame we lost them but at least we did not lose something truly special like say, moa.

I know moa are extinct. What I meant is that the supposed emu taxa were really subspecies or ecomorph and their loss is not as big as losing an entire family of birds like moas.

This is the first time I've seen them all compared in a single illustration. Great job!

Too bad the island dwarf species are no longer extant. Emu farming is a big enough thing... can you imagine how much bigger it would be with "teacup" emus?
Great illustration, and props for the thorough research into the looks of the extinct species!

Love the background, and of course these emu (read: dinosaurs) always make me happy. XD
Thanks for sharing the WIP of this too; it was neat to see your progress. :3

Beautiful painting, and extraordinary research into the topic. It's always rather er... fun... to get back to traditional after having worked only digitally for a while!

Sorry, I think it was the kangaroo island emu that was black, even I get them confused. But I do recall the kangaroo island emu being referred to as the "black emu"

King island emu was sometimes referred to as the "black emu" so you got that part right...
