Description

^{I started this before my final week of University, after designing Minas for the lovely russellskiy and this is the manipulation I did with it. Many layers of feathers, I may have gone insane, and then I played Ori and the Blind Forest a lot between this (which is fantastic and I encourage ya'll to go play it, its on Steam!) and this... was the most crazy detailed image I've done, ever. 200+ layers, primarily for the feathers. Minas is was created to have similarities to a microraptor, so I changed his tail to suit it more... and I couldn't help myself with all the glowing things. I like glowing.

EDIT: Thank you so so SO much for the daily deviation, what a great little thing to see! Thank you to Neaqmir for the suggestion and to ErikShoemaker for the feature! !!!
