junior illustration final: the seven deadly sins

#please please please click for better quality and look at the halftone texture it adds so much #the birds i picked for each sin all have a reason behind it and im so proud of that #i love talking about birds i explain my decision making to everyone possible #magpies steal #shrikes are carnivourous and kill their food on thorns #blue jays are extremely arrogant and pick fights with much larger birds #crows eat anything available #mockingbirds copy the calls of other birds #bowerbirds are known for their mating rituals #and cuckoos leave their eggs in other birds nests to avoid raising their young #illustration #digital illustration #original art #clip studio paint #seven deadly sins #black billed magpie #loggerhead shrike #blue jay #carrion crow #mockingbird #flame bowerbird #common cuckoo

Moomin characters as birds

Moomin: Snow bunting. A very cute and round bird. (And gives off the same “marshmallow vibes” as Moomin.)

Snufkin: Olive-sided flycatcher. A rather solitary species, like most tyrant-flycatchers. Migrates long distances between its breeding and wintering grounds.

I feel like a hermit thrush would also be a good bird for Snufkin, if we’re going with a music theme.

Little My would definitely be a kingbird. This one— the eastern kingbird— is only the size of a robin, but it will attack animals bigger than itself— even hawks!

Sniff: Black-billed Magpie. He likes treasure!

Snorkmaiden: Snowy plover! (Just because she likes to visit the beach!)

This is just the main quintet of characters. If you have requests for others, let me know.

I’m in an ornithology class right now, and for our lab we have a lot of taxidermy specimens we’re able to look at.

The other day we had a leucistic magpie out and I was obsessed, it was beautiful but so strange compared to other magpies. Because of the differences in color, it lost all the sheen and iridescence magpies usually have.

I didn’t get a pic of the lab one but I bet in life it looked pretty similar to this guy:

Gorgeous! I’ve seen a couple on iNaturalist that have this soft grey color, love it when leucistic corvids (and any bird really) have diluted colors rather than stark white. That class sounds really cool!

Edit: and it does seem that lighter colors don’t show off iridescence as well as dark colors do!

"Black-billed Magpies add much to western landscapes, both with their flashy appearance and with their big bushel-basket nests in trees. In an earlier era, farmers and ranchers tried to exterminate this species, but to no avail, and it is common today in open country and even in towns in the mountain west."

how about you watch this video of a magpie stretching and preening itself right on my porch and maybe you'll feel better

#lowkey wondering if this is the same magpie i saw a few weeks ago #like this one looks pretty young too; still seemed to have a few fluffy baby feathers and it was very round and fat #also the magpies around here are pretty chill but not usually so chill as to preen themselves right in front of humans!! #this one was so cute though. it was preening itself for a solid minute or two!!! #birds #self post #black billed magpie #black-billed magpie #pica hudsonia #bird #birb #birblr #birdblr #birding #magpie

Black-billed Magpies sometimes court and form pair-bonds with birds of the same sex.
