companion to the chuckwillswidows (or is chuckswillwidows?)

my other favorite bird!
the rook.
other not meaning second, more like "tie."

i got the dumb idea in my head (don't have enough to do) to get four done. since i noticed a stark spring/fall contrast betwixt the burds here and here.

i'm very happy with these guys. unlike the nightjars i didn't need to stare at the staggering twelve photos available on the internet for ten and a half hours hours to iron out why mine didn't look right. and i think for the first time i drew them close to properly.

well they're still fantastical "LOA-ized" rooks with their big choppy hoodfeathers and purple eyes.

but you get it. :P
WHO WILL GET THE WINTER SPOT?
summer?

anyone i can draw/color in two nights! XD
100% vector in PSP.

it's just time spent. you gotta teach yourself to spend more time working if you want more detail. ...which kinda blows because i like to be DONE with stuff.

They are so pretty, I love the contrast between light and shadow and the orangy highlights.
The trees in the bg fucking rock dude.

They are so menacing and dark! But they are so cute, too. One time I saw a rook in a metal trash can on the beach pecking at a half-eaten sandwich.
I thought to myself then "Who would throw away a perfectly good crow? "

Put em' out in the sun and they ain't so scary!! Love the purple theme. Rooks and purple seem to go hand in hand.

we don't have rooks here. i wish we did...we have those gay little fish crows.
and i found out ( i remember telling you i was wrong about the grackles) that those things i call "sea world birds" are actually grackles. my whole life i thought they were purple martins.

this has been a big year of me saying and doing or thinking dumb shit lol.
