Western Scrub Jay

Medium: Photoshop CS2

I had originally intended this to not take as long as it did, but overall it took almost 5 hours to complete. I am pretty happy with the results. Naturally by the time I made it to the background I kind of stopped worrying so much about the detail and just wanted it done. It was only supposed to be a speedpaint anyways.
