Revisited an old character design project of mine feat. Australian animals! Kept some pretty much the same but others needed a bit of a change (I think)

Lineup of character designs based off various Australian animals (rock wallaby, bilby, magpie, Tasmanian devil, thorny devil, wedge-tailed eagle, red-tailed black cockatoo, saltwater crocodile)
