I think this is my favorite corvid piece of yours (though some of the Raven ones come close), and something about it "feels" more like how Crow presents himself to me (how I perceive him), though I don't know exactly why, as I don't think it's just because this is American Crow. Nice, colorful background as well :). One of these days I may actually get myself to draw the image I've had in my mind for months to represent Crow, especially since I have such an oddly hard time finding art or photos that I feel well represent my perception of him--it's just a matter of getting my art muse to cooperate :/.

And I also loved the lineart of these four pieces, including the cross-hatching on Orca.

It's amazing how many people have said it *feels* like American Crow, I've never met a crow, not at a zoo, or in person, and certainly not an American crow. So I love that this feels like one. :)
