    Assortment of Bits and Crumbs

    I have been making bird models in Blender for some time, and given how long the tiles take to make I have decided to post some of the 'to appear' birds here. But hopefully not all of them. Here is a personal favourite of mine I made recently for K - the King Vulture. Each flight feather has...

    Single word birds beginning with Z

    As you may know I have been working on birds A-Z tiles for a good while now. And I have a list which will govern as to what will appear on each tile. But Z had me in a bit of a hard place... I have one species listed, which is an adjective-type species; say Zigzag Heron or Zebra Dove [not saying...

    A game of predictions

    I have been uploading my alphabetical tiles here for a while. So I have thought of a fun game. The short of it - you predict, of the birds listed, which ones will be in the next tile I create! K KAGU KAKA KAKARIKI KALIJ KAKAPO KEA KESTREL [EURASIAN] KESTREL [AMERICAN] KILLDEER KINGBIRD...

    Gender Transition Begins.

    I recall it has been for all the years of my life that I have had comfort in some aspects of myself, but even so, discomfort in others. Some of these discomforts have stayed with me throughout my life since I was young. I have found socialising with girls and women very much interesting...

    The A to Z list; so far

    I thought as I was putting my tiles here, it would be fun to see how many of the list members here have seen themselves. A ADELIE PENGUIN Pygoscelis adeliae ALBATROSS Phoebastria immutabilis AMERICAN PYGMY KINGFISHER Chloroceryle anea ANDEAN CONDOR Vultur gryphus ANNA'S HUMMIGBIRD Calypte...

    Chances of seeing a Quetzal

    I might be going to Costa Rica from later July to August of 2026. Part of the itinerary is a trip to the Cloud Forests, which from what I understand is the native range of the resplendent quetzal. But this will be about the time from what I understand when the breeding season will be finishing...

    How I create animals with Computer Graphics

    I have been posting some of my works here for a while, pertaining to artistic but realistic depictions of animals. I had a hunch one or two of you were thinking, 'how does he do it?' And so now you will know. When creating animals, I only use three programmes. Mozilla Firefox for gathering...

    An appendix to "My Alphabetical Bird Compendium"

    Not entirely sure as to which forum this should've gone in, but hopefully this works I recall I posted about an artistic project of mine, where I was doing art tiles for each letter of the alphabet with birds inside which with that letter name began. This was based off an old sketchbook with...

    My Alphabetical Bird Compendium

    It must have been a good decade, give or take some years, ago when at home a new thing arrived to excite myself as a young child; namely an empty sketchbook. The thing to excite any child, truly. But the wonderful thing about the sketchbook, however, is that it is only as empty as one leaves...
