Game 43 Round 03: Giant Hippo in the Lake

Hi!  Sorry I haven't written lately!  I've actually been drawing a lot and away from the computer so I haven't felt like posting.  This is my finished piece for today! I am not quite happy with it though and it took hours to do!  I'm not even sure why...but am not pleased.  I like the birds.  I think I want to do another one with just the birds.  These are grey crowned cranes.  Beautiful, aren't they?  This was for Kookyrabbit.

I have another two pieces am working on and I just sent the rough for a commission job to a client.  Then next week, I will be on an exciting but very, very fast paced project.  Expect silence or a lot of stress.
