My first attempt at a digital painting. Though mostly I just wanted to play around with the blending tool.
Sorry there's no background, I ran out of time. I may put something there tomorrow, but only if I have extra time between working on other things.

I think it looks great! I love the colors on the wing especially.

Thanks, I'm glad.
Edit: Oh and thanks Carbon for saying nice things about my clown.

I thought it was some sort of Phoenix, but then it seems to have the head a duck so maybe not.

Yeah, it's a Phoenix, sorry. I know they tend to look more like hawks, but I never liked bird of prey mythical birds as much. I like waterfowl based ones a lot better. I think they look more majestic. Though it wasn't my intention to make it look that much like a duck now that I'm looking at it more closely. O_o

Very nice! I get a real sense of movement from it, like the bird is going to flap its wings any second.

Thanks. =P

That's really good to hear. Trying to make an image come alive is probably my biggest goal with my art,* and probably one of the trickiest things to do (for me at least), so seeing feedback like this is really heartening. Thanks.

I'm so behind on all things forum... But, belatedly, that is one pretty blob of blended colours. I wish I could create pretty things

Because Halloween is coming, I digital painted a bride ghost. I really need to paint more often.
