  • Title: Magpie Melody
  • Artist: Melem
  • Description: My computer is a real dinosaur; but, before I replace it there are a few pictures on it I'd like to finish, this is one of them. I liked the dynamic going on between the characters in this pic so I kicked it around for a while.

Ibis is an OC created by Sarah Stone.

  • The stark contrast between the detailing in the near and far limbs is irking. Other than that stylistic choice which conflict what I would have done, everything else is top notch.
