[Art] Green-Billed Malkoha, Spangled Cotinga and Tacazze Sunbird

[moonvoice]

Might go into a deck one day. Honestly the deck/s have been on hold due to global shipping issues (especially USPS blocking all shipping to Australia for 6 months, though it's much better now, it's still not really 'fixed' like it was before, and many small businesses are still not shipping to us).

I've realised I'm very much just...wanting to illustrate a lot of rare animals these days. Chances are you may not have heard of all, or even any of these birds (since the last time I posted the inked versions anyway).

All of these coloured with coloured pencil, watercolour pencil, ink, and then a little bit of metallic watercolour and iridescent acrylic for accents.


Green-Billed Malkoha // Phaenicophaeus tristis















Spangled Cotinga // Cotinga cayana














Tacazze Sunbird // Nectarinia tacazze

What bright birds! You must have had a lot of fun with the iridescents here.

I can only imagine how bothersome shipping is to deal with right now. Sorry about that :(

The birds were definitely a lot of fun! Although only one of them is actually iridescent, though the Spangled Cotinga is very glossy, it's hard to believe birds this beautiful exist sometimes. :D <3
