Oriole

This bird is from the street.

Spot Breasted Oriole, quite accurately named as you can clearly see the spots on his breast.  I'm having too much fun making birds in this way, it feels very freeing to rely less on a photo reference and more on how I think/want things to look.  The next step is to work bigger and add in more of my own detail.

I'm going to listen to secret agent while I make this happen.
