Description This I draw today for art jam.

Idea came from

Colouring is not too good, I wanted to make realistic lightnings but it turned out to be too difficult.

I like those clouds. I would spend all day making just clouds...

edit:
I don't know how long it took to make this picture. I had to turn off my computer during the colouring because we had first real thunder storm this year
I made quick pencil sketch, scanned it, removed shades with highlight tool, added a blue layer and all the real colouring is done simply using tha one blue layer and some more highlight tool.

I wanted it to be more like some ancient god than actual creature of flesh and blood.

I like the way the colors work. It gives the work a sketchier feel, makes it feel like you put some real work into it.

Thanks! It was my friends idea and he made me do it the way it looks.
It was supposed to look like the bird was itself part of the clouds and storm.
