Thanks to a lovely person re-checking permission, I was reminded of this piece from 12 years ago. A rather big painting of a male Java peafowl, made for the cover of the "Losing Altitude" artbook, which featured endangered and extinct bird species.
I'm still very fond of the paintings I made for that cover, and I feel they were oddly ahead of my skills at the time (or I just regressed lol).
Especially this peacock, with all his endless feathers and textures and colours. It was hell to paint at the time, but now I can still admire the result. I hope you too will enjoy this blast from the past!
