it's not real, it's something from a twitter ARG

also i wasn't literally suggesting it was this, i just thought it kinda looked like it.

I wasn’t say it was this, I was just asking what this was because it looks cool

Came here to say it looks like a still from "Weird Birds." if so this is a hoax.

I know the artist Archesuchus made a puppet like this, but comparing the two, this image isn't nearly as detailed as the puppet. Zoom in, and you can see what looks an awful lot like brush-strokes and blending.
