Talenshi 📚 @ the St Louis Renaissance festival 🕊さんのイラストまとめ

✨Hi #animalartistsunite !✨
I'm Karen/ Talenshi, and I love painting birds so much! My partner, Justin, and I are creating the Birds at Arms project together.

Working on the pileated woodpecker! Mostly blended edges today, but worked on the helmet and face a little extra.

Happy #InternationalOwlAwarenessDay
Here's Hector, the city guard owl, and a bit of lore!
That sketch was the very first Birds at Arms artwork I made back in 2015. The painting was also the start of my shift towards a more painted/ rendered look. He makes such a great pin too!
