dont get me wrong i love my earth toned brown and white and grey common birds, mourning doves and red-tailed hawks are my lovely little guys, but something about seeing a Brightly Colored Guy is so exciting to me even when i logically know theyre very common species. maybe its the west coaster in me but every time i see a jay or an oriole i lose my fucking shit it improves my mood for the entire week.... if popsicle flavors were a bird literally <33333
Color! Composition still wonky, but this was done mainly to see how I liked the colors and such. I can reposition and resize birds/leaves/etc another time. And get a decent proper hexagon drawn up.
This has been an exercise in not letting perfection hold me back. I have to start getting back into art somehow, right?
When you go on walks, what’s your favourite part? Mine is when I find one of the rivers or small streams nearby my house. Or when I get to meet some new dogs- or when the temperature is just warm enough to bask in whilst the trees are rustling because of a strong breeze. Maybe my favourite part is the walk itself, I like walking places. Problem is I always need to have a destination in mind.
the weather is getting nicer so its the best time to go outside and poke around for some new visitors ^_^
i REALLY wanna make an updated ref for the albatrio, but my last attempt at updating it didn't pan out because there's so many details to keep track of. here is a jay ferin 4 u while i try to figure this stuff out.
insane to me that people can think up stories and actually write them and make them good and set up little hints for things and meaningful little details. how the fuck do you do that
I'm actually still thinking about the idea that Jay is evil because he 'manipulated' Jon somehow. Obviously, I've pointed out how politically (and racially) charged that 'argument' is, because again, asian country colonized by america-sponsored dictator, Jon shouldnt need a romantic incentive to help out with that.
But also its just really funny because you also accidentally imply that Jon could be ~easily beguiled~ by a man who:
1) dresses like the rainbow threw up on him
2) acts like this in front of his mom
3) Insulted him their first meeting
That is, again, embarrassing for Jon. If Jay was trying to seduce Jon or whatever, bro was putting in MINIMAL FUCKING EFFORT and Jon fell for it. face first. onto the concrete
