Thanks for the mention! It's quite coincidental that I mentioned you around the same time ( [link] ). Anyway, my only nit-pick is that the nest seems to be a raised mound (as opposed to a scrape, which I think is more likely based on extant analogues). Otherwise, I like this drawing.

That's cool, thanks for the mention. (Haven't been checking my DA inbox as thoroughly these days, otherwise I'd have seen that sooner.)
I concur that a scrape would be more likely; that was an unintentional oversight on my part.

Your linework is improving! Have you thought about trying coloring with markers or something?

Thanks! I haven't considered that at all, but I can potentially see it working well now that you bring it up.
