Description ...Is worth two in the bush.

I painted it, though I was working with a rather limited palette. For some reason, the watercolours I was using were full of breadcrumbs. Which I couldn't really do much about.

So, made with watercolours and breadcrumbs on illustration board.

I love these critters! The colors are lovely as well! Keep it up!...now i need to make more mythical creatures haha. There is a taxidermy artist you might like: [link]

His work got him in quite a bit of trouble, but the natural combinations of the animals are nice to use a references! Might spark some ideas too!

you're welcome! He's a huge inspiration for me. I used to design creatures and dragons, and his work is very similar with where I wanted those to go. I am itching to make creatures again!

Wow, this is gorgeous. I'm really impressed with how you were able to get the blues and greens in the tails to be so intense and vivid while still flowing together well and not washing out. That's not easy with watercolors. The lineart is beautiful too, especially in the wings and tail feathers; the thick lines add great depth. Nicely done!

You think so? I was actually pleasantly surprised in the texture they gave in the inital wash. Too bad the scanner does not seem to pick it up too well.

haha darn scanners. Mine seems to be... nonexistent. However, the whole painting is lovely, I love how intense the colors are.

You pushed your colors pretty well for a limited palette. I really like the feathers. ^_^
