Absolutely gorgeous piece. Catches the eye almost immediately! The colors are organized very well, and the round shape caught my immediately. The large, rounded eye gives the picture a sort-of "innocent" feeling.
The starling itself is quite adorable, with it's colorful complexion and all. You did a great job with the overall piece, making the main focus on the starling, rather than making the background a bright mess/ distraction to the viewer.
It is just one of those pictures that puts a smile on my face immediately, really. :3
Great job, I'm glad I caught this in my random searches.

The first thing which crosses my mind when I view this piece is that it is a really good example of how a subject can be stylized.
I tend to see a lot of younger artists create something and then dismiss anatomy mistakes or other shortcomings as "my style" and while I tend to view that as an excuse what I see here is actually a great example of what a stylized rendering should actually look like and it's easy to see why this was selected as a Daily Deviation.
The round shape of the starling with the contrasting colors puts the immediate focus on the bird and you keep the background sparse enough not to draw attention away from it but still full enough that it's not one of those empty wastelands you see so often as a background e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="
Excellent effort.

The artwork you see on this site can really catch your eye. This one did at the bottom of the page.
A small puffball of energy, happiness, and utter adorable loveliness made me swell with glee.
I love birds of all shapes and sizes and knowing what they actually look like made seeing this little all the more delightful.
While the bird itself is the centerpiece of the art, the background adds to the uplifting air that the bird brings to the viewer.
Cheerful, uplifting, wonderful. Seeing this peaks my curiosity to learn more about birds, art, and the ways we express ourselves in this diverse and crazy world.
