DinosRBirds, what is this bird? I don't do many chickens (I have a small flock of hens for eggs but I raise wild type birds like pheasants and jungle fowl) but this is a beautiful rooster. It reminds me of a duckwing colored phoenix with no long feather growth, but it's color looks fantastic to me.

This is my "The Cracken". She was disabled at birth. Her back legs didn't work right and both of her ears were deformed. Best cat I ever had but her disability was her end. She couldn't run fast enough from a dog

He was so fun to draw, but I had to not to the highlights on the feathers because I kept on messing it up.

You put a lot of work into that. Thank you very much!

Those are great.

One thing to maybe work on, is adding life to the eyes. They say that eyes are the windows to the soul, and eyes that draw you in are captivating
