Artist's Comments

The Whirbird, clockwork hummingbird with gears, brass and nickel keyfeathers, a glass heart, and a touch of the Elsewhere.

Original is large, I think 18x24, and is all colored pencil. The background was smashed in using Prismacolor Art Stix, which are pastel shaped chunks of woodless colored pencil lead.

Really beautiful. I love the intricacy of all the little parts. The natural hummingbird really blends well with the mechanical aspects you added to it. Absolutely stunning work.

The details sure are great! I also love the colors you used in this, they are so shiny and nice to look at. The background looks great with the colors of the bird and the mechanical little parts, too.:+fav: ^^

You who I called brother, how could you have come to hate me so?
Is this what you wanted.
Then let my heart be hardened, and never mind how high the cost may grow, this will still be so, I will never let your people go.

Extinction is more than the end of something with a long run in the past. Extinction is murdering everything that would have evolved from that species in the future.
