"I started a pencil sketch," Chandler said of setting out last year to paint the bird. "Then Bobby would be gone sometimes two to three weeks out there doing this search in the swamps. He would come back and he would tell me to change certain things about it.
"He kept telling me it's not like any other bird in the forest. He said it almost has a cartoonish look to it. And the colors are so vibrant on the bird — the black and white and the crest, the red, is very, very vibrant," Chandler said.
"He would come back and he would tell me I needed to make the wings longer, more white on the wings and he would tell me the length of the tail needed to be longer," Chandler said. "It's a very sleek bird. It almost has the appearance that only the wing tips are moving (when it flies) because it is a very powered flight, very, very direct."

I have nothing to add. But this thread seemed lonely.
Actually, Bobby's descriptions sound just like one of his own models! "Cartoonish", "vibrant red", "more white on wings", "only the wing tips move".
Also sounds like how Mormonism started. What was the dude's name who looked into the hat and magically read out the Mormon Bible? And now we have Bobby, who magically went into the forest and brought out the Lord God Bird.
I think "cartoonish" sums the whole matter up rather well.
I believe the name is Joseph Smith.
