Re: A break in the clouds

A break in the clouds, looking down onto a brighter future.

The birds here are drawn accurately to scale and range from the Bee Hummingbird, with the world's smallest wingspan, to the trumpeter swan, biggest wingspan in North America, and all the way up to a glimpse of an Andean Condor with wings a mighty 12ft long. I like wings.

This is two inks on a white tee. See a BIG VERSION!

and into the fog they fly.

Very ethereal looking. That's one of the best shades of blue ever.

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen you design in this style before. It really rocks!

Re: A break in the clouds

WOW! I love how I was able to identify several without the key.... it means you painted them perfectly!!

Fly to the fog beautiful birds.

Re: A break in the clouds

Really nice. That flock of birds reminds me "Legend of the Guardians". I love that movie!

Re: A break in the clouds

Love these colors!

Re: A break in the clouds

OOOOH.. HA HA.. Phew, okay I'll admit at first I thought one of them didn't have a head. Owl, gotcha... dear lord thank goodness for the weekend. Love the colors of this one!

Re: A break in the clouds

Thanks for the lovely comments.

I'm always ready to try something new so with this design I tried to relax and just find an aesthetic that I'd enjoy wearing, and not overthink the details.

(apart from all of the carefully measured birds of very specific, sequential wingspans - ahh, can't turn this noggin all the way off)

Re: A break in the clouds

Re: A break in the clouds

Great use of the irregular border shape to transition your image into the shirt colour Spiritgreen. +1
