These birds are real savages. I think they look rather cute, but while I was browsing for images, I chanced upon some where they were ripping the flesh out of their prey. Looks are deceiving!
 
Cheers! First artwork of 2017! I had some fun with this one, playing with clarity and focus. Not sure if it captures that, but I’ll keep working on it ;P I have some huge plans for the upcoming piece which will involve quite the splash of originality and colour. That’s the plan at the least, but it’s definitely going to be my best work this “year” xD
