This is an illustration for Erin Hoffman's short story in the upcoming issue of Reynard's menagerie. If you are able to pick up a copy, you should! Its a fun read. [link]

I'd like to thank =phantaz and ~chezem for kind permission to use their photos for reference. Please stop by their galleries!

Special guest appearances by *Nambroth's Bronze Wing Pionus Khu and Cockatiel Feathers (may she beep in peace) and Erin's own Eclectus, Smeagol.

This was fun, even if I was a little tired of drawing Psittacines by the end of it. I wish I had time to add more birds but this piece is due. I did my best to get the relative sizes correct, but it was mainly guesswork with some tips from Nam.

All you parrot lovers, how did I do?

Regarding sizes:
It is in my opinion that the budgies ought to be a bit smaller, in comparison to the cockatiel and the macaw. I haven't visited the birdshop in quite a bit though, so I very likely could be wrong.

However it's lovely as always (:

KHUUUUU!

I love this. The sizes look good! Smeagol could probably be a touch bigger and the macaw seems to be missing his primary feathers but this is FAAANTASY without the rainbows and glitter and tentacles.

Oh gosh, this is all sorts of glorious. Sexy birds, SEXY dragon, and VERY SEXY lighting omg. Love how twinkly and reflective the dragon looks (as far as I interpret) even though it's grayscale, and there's so much life and character in all the different birds that it provides a lot of really interesting stuff to look at. This is faaaaaabulous dahling.
