There's something about this style that really reaches me. Painting the essentials of an object to get the concept across, like talking a purely abstract language. Love it!

Beautiful! Did you happen to use a Waxwing as reference?

@Electric_Druid looking that bird up, I believe it must be. But the reference I used, the bird was less rounded than what I'm seeing. Has to be though. What beautiful creatures.

They're some of my favorites! Very unique even among birds.
