Procrastination is why it took so long. If I had not gotten distracked by so many good books and other things the time would have been shorter. If there had been someone paying for it, the time would have been even shorter ...

Im glad I stumbled upon this. Excellent! I see the years of work you put into this. Nice details and the likeness! I dig the colored bird, I think it rep. beauty as opposed to the rugged, rough rhino. Plus I think it wouldve gotten 'washed away' if done in b&g. I really appreciate stippling cause of the patience and 'true' craftmanship. Nice work!

MasterOfPointillism In reply to meihua [2007-02-08 04:25:13 +0000 UTC]

The Yellow-beaked Ox Peckers are usually not this yellow on the back. Their breast area is more of a dusty ochre color. I used water color to paint it, and had not painted in quite a while. The head and wings are more of a grey than brown, but the sunlight in the photo was very direct and taken around noon in Africa, so there was some wash out.

do you mean the picture of this drawing? Or the picture that you used for reference (assuming you used one)?
well anyway, it really pops out that's a good thing

This one is a sock-puppet account of one of the trolls in the 'Politics' forum. He/she/it is just trying to get me to block them and/or make a mess of my art.

If someone actually made a piece of art that way and it looked this good, I'd be impressed, not going to lie. It'd really stink though.
