I absolutely ADORE vultures. Of all kinds. Egyptian vultures (or pharaohs chickens) are especially beautiful. These birds were at one time killed to near extinction by British travelers simply because they disgusted the travelers with their habit of consuming feces*. How this justifies desecrating an entire species is beyond me, but that's human beings in a nutshell. This was done in Paint Tool Sai, It's not the greatest, as I sort of rushed toward the end.
*Egyptian vultures actually get their yellow skin from eating feces.
i LOVE egyptian vultures, and i especially love your take on the species! you capture such a variety of avians so well.
