My lack of spatial awareness has once again reared its ugly head. I think I can still use this initial sketch though - hence I’m darkening the lines for transfer to a new sheet.

“Direct Memory Access issss impaired… attempting rebooooooot…. Reboot failure due to impaired Direct Memory Access.”

“Didididirect MemmmORY ACCESS is impaired… attempting reboot…. Reboot ffffff…”

“….. working…. working…”

I know, I know; I said I wasn’t going to post anymore updates, just the finished piece…

In my defense, my new job (which I’m still trying to find a good work/life balance with) also happened to coincide with one of the worst nerve pinches I’ve had in recent memory. It’s been hard to hold a pencil to say the least.

What I thought would take a couple of weeks has turned into much longer.

It wasn’t part of the original plan (pfft… “plan”), but I transferred Nick to new paper after I found the eraser marks to be too irritating to ignore. Plus one point to digital in that regard.

I think Nick’s mad I’m giving him even less skin than he had in-game😅

And that had made all the difference"

Black-capped chickadee: Poecile atricapillus

Tufted titmouse: Baeolophus bicolor

American goldfinch: Spinus tristis

White-brested nuthatch: Sitta carolinensis

I finished the two American goldfinches, Sunny and Olive, today!

I got 3 birds done today!

Two Black capped chickadees and the Tufted titmouse brothers (yes I've a whole backstory for each of them)

All the songbirds have found their way to the vine, though some took different paths to get there.

You can be assured, most are chirping all at once and making a delightful cacophony

Bonus:

The final two birds for my Road Less Traveled piece.
