i’m still alive btw! i’m preparing to leave the country in a week (i’ll be gone for six weeks) so i haven’t had much time for art. while i’m gone, though, i’ll have a lot of time, so hopefully there’ll be some more uploads. :)

i haven’t really decided what i want to do with this yet so i’m just blocking in color during one of my breaks from essaying
duo’s actual starling is the violet starling, but i wanted it to be more instantly recognizable so this one is a european starling.
starlings are considered “pest” birds in many parts of the world, as they tend to flock in huge groups and nest and poop everywhere, but that aside, they’re actually clever little lunatics who can learn to talk better than some parrots, who steal and problem solve, and who grow deeply attached to the other birds (or people) in their lives.
progression shots of this in one place (when am i ever going to find time to color aaa although hey skytyne if you want to play with this one before i do you’re welcome to!)
