Yippeeeee! ^-^ 🪲🤝

Hiya, friends! ^-^

Here's two quick illustrations of our favourite feathered biped landing after a morning glide (with a twist!) :D

Or, well, two versions of the same illustration lmfao, sketched traditionally in graphite and completed digitally on my phone

This is clearly not Eshra's usual colour scheme, but instead inspired by the Palawan peacock-pheasant! (pictured below)

The first version still adheres to Eshra's already existing colour scheme to some extent, while the second one is made completely with the reference material in mind :]

I did take some creative liberty with the purple iridescence under his wings, as that's not something that exists in either Eshra's design or the pheasant. It felt necessary i order to better tie the brown in with the rest of the colour scheme

I had honestly forgotten completely about the existence of this bird until @so-called-yokai (also the creator of this lovely character, go check them out) brought up the idea of giving Eshra a pheasant-themed makeover, which I obviously couldn't resist ^-^

Not-quite-peafowls and feathered bipeds inspired by said not-quite-peafowls aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

I felt like putting some clothes on the buggy dude! ^-^

I included a close-up of the second version, since tumblr loves to just *eat up* all the details TTvTT

It's heavily inspired by my own wardrobe/general sense of fashion lmao, I basically have those jeans, as well as that belt and that orange sweater, and I love to mix my metals :]

And he may not have any nails, but who says you can't wear nail polish just because of that? Bahahaha

Does it still count as shading if I'm just alpha-locking the line-art and "shading" that? Lmfao

Hello friends! ^-^

I just made an etsy!! I only have one listing up as of now, but I'm still really excited about it bahahaha

I tried my best to make it affordable without losing too much quality, so the main listing is 25USD, while there's another version with slightly better paper for 35USD, and a framed version of the first one for 75USD :]

(that last one feels a little unnecessary, but I figured that not everyone wants to go buy a separate frame for their prints, so why not? Lmao)

Here is the link to my first listing! There is no pressure whatsoever to buy of course, but I would appreciate a share if it isn't too much trouble ^-^

The printing service I'm using is Gelato, which is connected to my Etsy shop where the products will be displayed and avaliable for purchase!

Any and all feedback is welcomed with open arms, I'm incredibly new to this so I wouldn't be surprised if I've made a mistake or two bahahaha TTvTT

That being said, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!! 🧡

I have decided to give my good friend Pothead Larry (A plastic halloween candy container that once housed a singular hemp plant which I found had sprouted in the yard) a realistic make-over

Painting away those angry eyesockets is definetly a challenge lmao :']

Making said eyesockets - as well as the nasal cavity - look like they aren't just shallow indents has also been a journey to say the least, and why is the cheekbone so long???? And why are the teeth so small?????? 😭

Definetly turning this into a flower pot once again after this, gotta get me some plant lights though since my window doesn't get enough light TTvTT
