Description

Dear gowd… Let me start by begging for forgiveness, this piece is late… BEYOND LATE; and for the life of me even the truth makes for a flimsy excuse. It is late and I’m so very very sorry.

Exchange Jam piece for *Arcticfox98

That aside I must say I had a grand time with this! I was more than a little bit surprised when it turned out that the character I got was actually based on an Australian parrot! The Northern Rosella to be exact :D So I kind of took that and ran with it… which presented its own problems, namely the fact that Australia is not really known for snow which seemed to be a big prompt for everyone else ^^;

Regarding the branch, ^^: I’ma gonna blame that on my local wildlife, the Naso red-tail black cockatoos here chew all the honky nuts (basically big gum nuts) into interesting shapes before dropping them on our roof. I figured they could be an Aussie alternative to a Halloween pumpkin (even if they are only golf ball sized) which was part of the overall them for this event too. Odd little twist I know… but there they are, Honky nut lanterns lighting up the night sky.

The Prompts I ended up using where…

Curiosity/Magical
Snow/Cold
And
Night-time

Oh... Btw, I put the Southern Cross in there if you can find it... but I'm pretty sure the random star field detracts from it.

:D took a total of 56 markers… and my new Opaque white for those stars… LOVING THIS Copic speciality PAINT. It actually hides all colour whereas the gel pen I used to use would tint over time.

ENJOY

Oh wow! That is superb! Thank you very much for this, you have drawn him so well :) I love the way you've drawn his wings, they look gorgeous and all of the colours are amazing and suite the image well! That was a smart idea making the gum nuts like jack o'lanterns :D and the yellow tailed black cockatoo's do that down at our place (naughty little things :XD:) thank you again c: and I never mind waiting for artwork because you get images like these which are worth the wait :hug:
