Is it a bird? - photo by Wendy Appelman

This looks really amazing, queenofeagles! I'm picking up pointers from this!  The background, for example, is of a modern day building, I'm sure... yet the manner in which it is blurred helps sell the structure as perhaps something far more set within a fantasy medieval/gothic/victorian setting, quite nicely. I'm curious as to how far the technique could be taken, actually.

Also, my goodness, look at those feathers! They all look completely real... yet given the size of some of them, and my doubt that they were hand plucked... wait, are these actually hand plucked? No... surely, some of them have to be made, lest there be some truly majestic and awe inspiring birds in the world. P_P

Then again, there *are*... but you know what I mean. Wow.

also... are you that pale in real life? And with blue eyes, to boot? You would draw a lot of attention where I live. Lot's more brown-skinned peoples, lol. xD (Well, sort of. P_P) Perhaps most of all, I love your headpiece. It has a very intricate design which integrates much nicely with your hair.

Also, I know that this is an old photo, circa 2016, but I also feel like the design actually is reminiscent of the Legend of Zelda Rito, actually. Looks like Nintendo took some inspiration from you, haha!
