Wow this is fantastic work..

thank you! I based it off of a photo of a ruby-crowned kinglet I took a while back ( ˙꒳​˙ )

Have you posted the photo? I’d be curious to see a side by side of it and this piece.

I don't think I can add links here (self-promotion rules) but I'll post the original photo onto my profile rn (｡•ᴗ• )

edit: posted!

This is surely one of the most beautiful works I have ever seen in my life.

oh wow, thank you (｡>ᴗ< )!
