Okay, this is my first critique, so sorry if I sound dumb. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..."/> with that aside...
First, I'd like to say I love your idea of a revamped Dodrio. I love the idea of a freakish, rabid creature who seems to want to kill all in its path. It doesn't seem like we'll be getting any mercy from this monster.
I like the soft shading on his feathers and legs, but I feel like the patches of blood should have been given a bit of a liquid-like gloss. Right now, it looks more like ketchup, or paint. I think if you'd added a white spot where the light reflects off of it it would look a little more like blood.
I really like the anatomy, how you made it look so unnatural but it still looks realistic. It looks very believable. Great job on that! I also really like the facial expressions on the three heads. They each sort of have their own personality, but obviously have the same objective. I also like the freakishness of of the two heads on the right, how their necks separate, come back together, and then split up again. Very mutant looking!
However, on the necks' blood vessels, I think they should have been colored blue instead. If you look at the top of your hand or your forearm, you may see blood vessels, but note they are all blue. I think that oxygenated blood runs deeper under the skin.
Also, on the tip of the middle head's lower beak, there seems to be a little bit of beak that sticks out, somewhat disconnected from the rest of the beak. It's not a big deal, but it does look kind of unrealistic.
Overall, I think you did a great job with this. I think this revamp was very creative, not to mention hideous (as was your intent). I can't wait to see more revamped Pokemon to see where you take those. Keep up the good work!
