Some rendering practice, using this photo which I’d hazard a guess to be an albino or leucistic raven perhaps? I can’t seem to find a source and it exists in about four or five different edited variations... Anyway, I had a lot of fun working with the soft colours and all the subtle hues. Single layer, done in about an hour.

i think imma tag all my birdfeels/monsterfeels/vulturefeels under the same tag of "boney birdbeast" because it's stupid to have 3 tags for variations of the same thing

this post is just to stuff into my archive for when I want to go back and look at my stupid rants

Okay I Googled it and the Turkey Vulture Society tells me

The turkey vulture nests on the ground and in caves.  It does not construct a traditional "nest," but rather scratches out an indentation in the substrate. Vulture nests are often found in abandoned barns and sheds, and once even in an abandoned car, and these locations provide safe hiding places similar to a cave of hollowed log.

So actually, according to, like... the way my feelins line up with my specific kintype... my feels were right on the money with the cave part, but not with the twiggies part! Heh!

But like who even cares, the point is

ENCLOSED NESTS YES GOOD 

UvU

But like a cave nest, with nesty protecty parts over my head

A wickery twiggy cave with fluffy and warm inside

haha it's time to make a dumb post

So I went with my life coach to Fish Creek Park today and we found a quiet spot through the river and he took me through my first ever session of guided meditation

And like, wow, shit was so cool

I really was able to shed all my neuroses in the space that he helped me, like, go to. I dunno if it was just because my legs kinda fell asleep but I was able to be part of the ground. 

But the best part was definitely when I reached into some other dimension of me and found my Wings and stretched them out. It feels stupid typing this, but I really was able to find my big silly turkey vulture wings and spread them wide, while staying completely still. 

Wind, wings, water and dirt.

Fucking vulture wings, how do they work

s l e e p

side note: i seem to have become kind of kitty recently

I don't really like to admit it because being birdy is my thing usually

and because i don't think the kittiness comes from a good place

like... being kitty is gr8 for some people don't get me wrong catkin are awesome

but this is like... the groundbound obstinate always on the floor sleeping too many hours of the day kittiness

catness? ..........everdeen?

anyway I don't even know what I'm rambling about anymore the point is I need to get back the Birdy Energy Feelings of Grippy Talons and Spritely Bones and heads turned on Rotanecks

so I'd better go to bed! goodnight everyone! (o, like, anyone? lol)

SCRAW!
