We’ll, this is as finished as it’s going to be

I thought I had commented Brett, but apparently not. Feathers are hard to do I find, even an illusion of them. You may not have intended but the outlining in this version looks very much like Stained Glass. I like it.

Particularly this birds feathers which have a hard metallic sheen to them. I hadn’t intended stained glass, but it’s a good idea.

Hi Brett, you know I quite like not only this version but also the earlier one too: https://forums.artrage.com/showthrea...046#post542046
Even if as you say the first try looked too “flat”, for me it still sort of works. With the textures you have going on there it reminds me a bit of marquetry work.
And, as June says here, with the addition of the outlines on the bird in this second version it dose give this one a bit of a stained glass vibe.

Thank you! They’re beautiful birds. In springtime we get many of them in our garden.
