Black-Billed Magpie as Totemby *Ravenari

Traditional Art / Drawings / Animals

Black-Billed Magpie as Totem
Pica hudsonia

There is so much iridescence on this one it makes me happy. I've ordered some Pearl-Ex mica pigments (or at least I hope so! I never got the confirmation email from the supplier) so I can experiment with these.

Maybe it's because raven is my own totem, but damn I love shiny things.
