A sketchy painting of a peregrine falcon on its back, legs in the air. The painting is accompanied by cute sketches of the bird sitting and starting to get blown over by wind.

Two paintings from tonight! The chat demanded i add a little guy to each of them.

Painting of a forest creek. A capybara sits at its coast contemplating life.

A very rocky shoreline with water at the top of the picture trickling down. A white shorebird flies above the boulders.

A lovely portrait I did for Oblivions on patreon. This was worked on for two hours over three sessions.
You can see the sessions/the progression in the reply!

Cleaning up my files and rediscovered this little redraw I did! Still pleased with it :3

Three illustrations side by side of a lioness in sideview. One image is from November 2015, another from July 2017, and the third from october 2024. Each subsequent image increases in artistic quality.

New character that's just me :"D He's just a guy! The hardest part was picking what birds to color him as tbh, i love them all

#art #fursona

A reference sheet for a character. Text reads, "Just a Guy. He's just shaped like this. He can be any IRL bird color." There are many doodle-style drawings of the same character in different colors of bird.

Thank you! I wanted to balance the classic Audubon illustration style with a more digital modern style. I’m glad it seems to have worked!

Deertush @dearlingwildlife.bsky.social · Feb 28

Thanks! I’ve always been inspired by the Audubon style nature illustrations

Deertush @dearlingwildlife.bsky.social · Feb 28

American Crow with a Shortleaf Pine.

Third installment in my native bird and plant series. This one was a bit difficult and I'm still not totally satisfied, but being done is better than sitting in the drafts forever!

An American Crow stands on the branch of a Shortleaf Pine. The background is a solid pale cream color.

Black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) a bird with a black shiny crown, white eye ring, red eyes and black iris. White cheek, throat and wings with shades of greys. Black bill with a highlight of white at the tip of the upper mandible. Leaves in the foreground with black stripes like patterns with white highlights. Blurr background with black fading patterns.

Made few grey toned papers few months back.
The process making my own grey toned paper was interesting and a good learning experience.
One can make cool greys or warm greys, depending on one's own preference.
I get to watch these birds in the middle of the city and at one of the common visited parks in Bangalore. Cubbon Park is centrally located and one of the most visited park how these birds have adapted to urbanization is amazing.

1 hour Patreon reward(s) for katze! This was for January and February. It's a bit mind-boggling what an extra hour of time can do to your work! #art
