Artist's Comments

The finished commission for ~funkybandicoot of, if not obvious already, a flamingo! A fun little illustration, and it's gotten me back into watercolours- art at work is almost always digital, so this was a release. :D

(ballpoint & watercolour)

Your watercolour work is briiiiilliant! The way you did the shading really makes the image... pop for lack of a better word. Your art is so inspiring for me. :D <3

I salute anyone who can use watercolours like this, they are a PAIN IN THE NECK. For me, anyway, awsome job :D

It's pretty, and this one 'mingo has attitude!

(Did you know that if they stop eating shellfish or whatever it is they eat, they cease being pink?)

Yah, that's why I drew a white-backed one- I love the weirder colourations. :D

But I thought flamingoes were in the Phoenicopteriformes... *gets pulled off of stage by giant hook* ;)

Love the coloring, especially the saturated purple in the shadows. It feels like sunset, what with the way the light is hitting him. Very nice.
