45 minutes, ps+wacom

I didn't want this to be an eagle, it was just supposed to be a generic bird. I also didn't want it to look patriotic. I realized the bad color choices at the end. Oh well.

You have exposure and warmth down to a tee you heathen you! =D

Seriously Ben, this is really good work, the eye is THE WIN!

Dilate..maybe..? =) The movement of an opening to allow in or expel a unit of something.

Your spelling isn't too bad Ripple, It's not even a prerequisite of the internetz,
I mean, we know perfectly well what a person is saying, but we nit-pick on grammar with haiku writing mother-fucker jargon..
If you'll excuse my Polynesian... not that writing poems in Japanese format makes them evil, it's their condescending way
of talking to people and their incessant, HEY LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME, I"M REFERRING TO MYSELF IN THE THIRD PERSON!

well, whatever!, choose to LULZ and I'll vomit on your face if you say otherwise!

=D freedom! now Ben, on another point, why doesn't my avatar change?, it was changed, but then reverted again?

It changed from what I can see, is that you also?
In that last pic you looked like one of the boyz in da hood, this one you look like you belong on 90210.
And, my spelling is bad, my daughters are always correcting my spelling AND my reading while I'm reading to them. Like, no DAD, it says indigent people, not idiot people... My Cataracts make reading to them without my glasses hard, and I hate wearing my glasses...

Yes, It's me, when I was in Spain in the beginning of the year, it's almost the only one where I look really happy..
because the current one looks too angry and contradicts my happy posts! =) but could help with the angry posts! ^^,
Ripple, I'm no 90210 wannabe. =) I dunno, if that's supposed to be a compliment or a total dis...

Haha, atleast you make it fun for them! my parents never read to me s a child. =P
You know what, the way you are now, your kids are gonna remember for a long long time,
so put the glasses on, it's oddly beautiful to children, to see their parents look all smart and dignified.
*high five!

It was a joke Ben, have you ever seen one of those old abott and costello movies where the eyes follow the person?
That whole joke comes from the experience when you see a really good portrait and the eyes are just so alive they look like they're looking back at you. I was taking it a step further and suggesting they were so alive they appeared to be moving. (and, when I first looked at the picture, it looked like it was dilating)
There's a remarkable amount of expression in that birds face.
Sorry Ben, you're no Nazi.

Helix, it was a dis concerning that handsome mug of yours, it belongs on 90210 with all the rest of the beautiful people. It's a funny picture actually, it's a good idea having your pic there, I'd do the same, but people would complain! ;)

This looks great, as noted by everyone especialy the eys.

I don't think it looks patriotic or like an eagle.
Not to be offensive but personaly it looked like a pigeon to me

That's what I was going for. Sort of.

Snips mentioned it looks like the pidgin logo, that too was unintentional.
