Description

30/7/11 Wow, finally finished this one, it's been going on for ages!
It's a commissioned digital painting for a client who loves birds and wanted 'a big red bird of prey'... so this is the result. I've never painted birds wings before and they were HARD!!!
I didn't paint the sky, my client requested I kept the photo reference (several stock sky images layered over each other and lots of colour changing). But the bird is all (painfully) painted in Photoshop. The sky and my initial bird reference image were both purchased from Shutterstock.
Hope you like it :) It's going to be a massive canvas print (120cmx90cm)

* Now called Red Rufus, as this is what his new owner has called him :)
