It sure ain't easy, but this looks great ! Especially the colours , I feel like it's so accurate that it must be called crow feather now

Thanks!
In truth, I am more of a fan of crows than ravens, but they are both very nice. I also love black-billed magpies.

Wow. Crows and Ravens are among my favorite birds. I also like sparrows and various species of raptors. Right now, I'm just satisfied with the wild hawks that live in front of my apartment. "Guaraguao" they are called here in Puerto Rico.

Wow, that's really cool.
A couple of years ago there were some owls living in my back yard. Sometimes I see herons in the summer, as well as hawks and eagles further out of town.
As for favorite birds, I also like Secretary birds, Northern gannets, Tropicbirds, and Chinese grey shrikes.

Cool. I like to think that i have a white egret for a friend. He seems to be every where I go. Sometimes landing nearby me, but never really close. He's been doing it for years now, so decided years ago to take it as a good omen. Usually when he shows up, I can't help but want to draw him.

Ghaaa, I'm so jealous Dx that's so neat. It reminds me of a time I actually caught, with my hands, a crow in my back yard. It was running away from me, back and forth between the fence and the arborvitae growing by it, but not flying away for some reason, so I eventually managed to catch it. It stayed really still while I was holding it, and it was so beautiful, but of course I had to let it go, and it flew off.

Cool!! Wow, the most I've ever been able to catch, when it comes to birds, is chicks, a dove who got caught in a classrooms window net and pigeons XD! That's an awesome catch.

this is FANTASTIC! and very life like. and I love how the feet sort of fade away. Love this ^.^
If you love crows, you should try reading Tamora Pierce's: Trickster's Choice and Trickster's Queen books. A crow is one of the main characters, and these books are super good reads

Thanks! Haha, the feet were giving me trouble, so that's why they're kind of faded.
Thanks for the suggestions, they's seem quite interesting.
