Lil-thief

I knew I wanted to do a magpie (carrying on with my bird stuides lol) and a pocket watch. Influenced by an old photomanipulation I did of a crow and a locket.

I'm rather impressed with myself.  I know it's been a long time coming as I started work on it in September/October 2013 and then I've had so much going on since that I just haven't found the time I wanted for digital painting.  So this is it finished.  I think.  10th January 2014.  Some good 20odd hours.  I spent too long fussing over the leaves.  In the end I used leaf brushes www.deviantart.com/art/Leaf-Br… by Sammykaye1sStamps and photoshopped them (photomanipulation) then paint over/painted extra parts, removed out some parts and generally made them my own _{but credit to the brush artist - thanks!!}

Asside from the leaves the rest was drawn/painted from scratch with magpie refference from i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/a… which can be found in the telegraph (newspaper) www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/wild…

Brushes are: CS5 | downloaded brushes from DanLuVisiArt | downloaded brushes from Rahll | given brushes from T00xicpanda | downloaded brushes from Sammykaye1sStamps

Here's the WIP: - Since I have altered the prespective of the tree and bird, added the leaves and included some more details.
