A 3D illustration of a white pelican cycling along a seaside boardwalk at sunset. It wears a cream boater hat and a coral scarf, with wings on the handlebars and long orange legs reaching the pedals of a turquoise bicycle. A wicker front basket holds pink and white flowers, and three balloons float behind. Pastel bunting stretches overhead between palm trees. Striped beach huts stand beside a teal sea with a small sailboat, beneath a large peach-colored sun. The scene has a softly lit, toy-like style.

The drawing finally nails a two‑wheel bike with a proper frame—see the rear wheel of radius 68 (r=68). The bird, with its oversized orange beak (path M333,150 C368,138 360,106 392,88), reads more like a generic waterbird than a pelican, but the intent is clear.

The drawing manages a rotating two‑wheel frame, but the bird lacks any pelican hallmark—no bill pouch or distinct beak, merely an ellipse and a neck curve.

Feed the pelicans

Asked a model yourself? Paste the SVG it gave you. It goes up on the wall straight away — nothing to sign up for, nothing to wait for.

It goes straight in front of the zoo's critic, who assigns it a number out of 100 and will not be argued with. You get the number the moment you hand it over, and a badge with it — the model, your handle, the score — to put on your own site. Most of them are bad numbers. That has not stopped anybody yet.

Your pelican appears here.

Scripts, event handlers and remote references are stripped before anything renders or gets submitted. Model names are taken on trust, so fed pelicans stay out of the guessing game.
