Updating Birds

3 min read
Hello, all. I apologize for the inactivity on this account. I've just been occupied doing other things like writing and making art for my main account.

Anyway, I recently decided to update the bird designs. They're now bigger and less pixelated. I intentionally made them like that at first so they could be like pixelated avatars, but I decided that it didn't look good large and I wasn't satisfied with the details due to the pixelation. Now, the birds are bigger and the details look better, and they can still be used as avatars.

Here's a sample of what the new designs looks like. Left is old and right is new.
Shown: blue jay, black-capped chickadee, and house sparrow

They even look more round. I found that the slightly smaller beak and eyes made more room for detail, too.

I don't when I'll begin replacing the old designs; maybe tomorrow. However, I'm leaving for a weekend trip to Canada on Friday so I have a lot of other things to do.

Well, I did a quick count of all the roundular birds I've made already, and I have exactly 51. Since I already plan on making cards with them (as in cards with the image of the bird and some info on it) and dividing them into series of 20 birds per series. I've already uploaded birds that are not in the first series with the exception of the budgerigar, peregrine falcon, mute swan, and great horned owl. Basically the series contain lesser known birds as they go along. So, the first series contains most of the well-known birds. I'll probably end up uploading a lot of them not in the order of the series, but when I make the cards they will be uploaded in order.

Series 1 contains the following birds:
-American crow
-American robin
-Bald eagle'
-Black-capped chickadee
-Blue and gold macaw
-Blue Jay
-Blue Tit
-Budgerigar
-Great horned owl
-Green-winged macaw
-House sparrow
-Mallard
-Mourning dove
-Mute swan
-Northern cardinal
-Peregrine falcon
-Red-tailed hawk
-Rock dove
-Snowy owl
-White-breasted nuthatch

In the meantime, I'll just be uploading the regular .png images of the birds. They might look pixel-y because they're only 500x500 pixels which makes them easier to condense into avatars and other things without altering the detail.
