I just learned you can pin posts here, so time for a pin!

I'm Aves/Avery, an illustrator, bird nerd, and creator of the Griffinch. I work both digitally and with traditional mediums such as pencil and watercolors. I post pictures of my finches (almost) daily 🐥💕

I think Peep is secretly a heron 🤔

A huge thank you to everyone who purchased an adopt so far! There are still some left--proceeds will be donated to local charities at the middle and end of the month.

Digital drawings of "pigeogriffs", which are hippogriffs that are part pigeon instead of eagle. There are a variety of pigeon breeds combined with a variety of horse breeds. In the bottom row, there is also a cockatrice that is part silkie chicken.

Hen and Frog.

Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, 95 × 64 mm.

Drawing in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of a hen startled by a frog leaping out from a small cluster of ferns. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache.

The Gang-gang gang returned!
#birds

Photograph of a young male Gang-gang Cockatoo lit by the sun, portrait from the breast up. It is a grey cockatoo with splashes of yellow, white, and orange. Its head and crest still have only some of its mature red feathers, showing that it's a young male.

Same species, different individual. Full-body photo of the cockatoo on a powerline, legs gripping it awkwardly as it tries to balance. This one has even less red on its head, and looks a little scruffier overall. Its head is turned to the same as it looks at the viewer.

Wish I'd had better light for this pic, this custom gryphon turned out really neat! He's based on a male house sparrow.

A large gryphon art doll stands with wings folded over its back, alert. Its colouration is based on a male house sparrow, with a black throat and white/grey accents in an otherwise rusty-red body.
