Since @WryCritic tagged one of my older work, I thought it was a good time to finally show up again and start uploading something! Starting with this new Dodo piece I did for an art booth in Daejeon's Dinosaur festival thing, where I sold my very first merch!!
Its already been a year(!) since I visited Okinawa for birding with @Tupandactyl , and I thought I could share some of my photos from the trip

Ghost of Wake
Being the only year-round resident of a small Wake island in the Pacific, the Wake Island Rail(Hypotaenidia wakensis) was driven to extinction after the Japanese invasion of the island, hunted by soldiers for food.

Many species are still being hunted to extinction. yellow-breasted buntings were once listed as Least Concern by IUCN but has been gradually updated to Critically endangered in less than two decades due to them being hunted for food in migration and wintering grounds.

Birds I saw this winter. I saw some Japanese birdwatchers make these, and I thought it might be fun to make my own version. Overall, it was an incredible winter with a bunch of irregular migrants all exploding at once!!!
Gone wIth the wind pt2
Kaua'i 'o'o(Moho braccatus), extinct 1987. Endemic to Kaua'i in the hawaiian islands, the last male was seen singing a duet, waiting for his long-gone mate. He was the last of the whole 'o'o family, all of which went extinct in modern times.
Just came home from university club annual han river bird count! My sector was a restricted zone, with probability for land mines. probably the most dangerous place i've ever birded lol

A beach wanderer
A tahiti rail(Hypotaenidia pacifica) has come for a daily stroll to the sandy beach near the forest.
#paleoart
The model and the composition were each heavily inspired by okinawa rail and buff-banded rail I saw during my birding trips.
Hypotaenidia rails are truly beautiful creatures, and I'd love to see more of them in the future. *especially wild okinawa rails
