Oh darn so close.

I'm thinking of drawing/digitally creating/blah blah the prey items mentioned, maybe I could include the shoestring caecilian, maybe...

I need to read my collection of Lovecraft. Shameful.

Hey, what was the "new thing" you were trying that "didn't work," by your high standards? It looks good to me!

Hopefully all my shadows can be kept underfoot, trampled like some indian demon.

What a proud bird. And don't worry, it works!

A very proud bird, especially of the beak. I'm yet to be fully convinced that it works but then I'm like that about everything.

Yes, I see. Poor Spaghetti Snakes.

Yeah they didn't do much to deserve being munched.

But who knows. Maybe they make jokes about tweezerbill behind it's back.

They probably do. Gently of course, we don't want to hurt other people's feelings.

Oh yes, I don't want to be pecked to death.

It would be like being jabbed with knitting needles over and over. Ugh!

It is so tiny?

No a large bird, bigger than a stork. But the beak is so long and thin and have you been jabbed by a knitting needle? It hurts.

I agree - the graceful contour lines are really offset by the yellow shape - I read it as a stand of background marsh grass!

Yes he is very pleased with himself and likes to stand in front of starbursts to show off. Thanks!
