Oh gawd awesomeness <3. Yep the tablet must be very lovely for you to paint such a bishounen lol . *runs in a field in vietnam* I'm not a big fan of sepia tones but this looks very nice. haha fav ^^

Those birds look so beautiful with the sketchy feeling going on. :3 Love the lack of colors, too.

on the field of vietnam dont exist sepias, i guess...
someone of vitnam can confirm that?

anyway. i like sepias and this work. sumele un favorito m.candy

the sketchi-ness and color tones make it really nice, OMG-OSH I <3 those birds

wait wait.. you got a tablet? did shuei send it to you?

I've always liked the blank sky bg idea, bc it always seemed to me that anything could just fade off into that distance and disappear like it was never there before...k I'm not making any sense. But yea, I like the gray sky, gray skies are cool (: And plus your birds are very different from the brushed birds we usually see so that's awesome.. and swallows are awesome.

I think one suggestion I'd make is to make the paintwork look less, hmm, how do you say it.. soft? I think you could use a harder brush and tone down the flow to make the paint look more refined, but that's probably what you usually do for your other walls anyway. I guess I'm just not too fond of the style but that's just me. Anyway, it's still a gorgeous recolor/recg and the sparrows just own, so it's definitely a fav (:

Love the birds and the simplicity is awesome. Great job!
