I got a new bird greeting card up on my shop! It’s a Racket-tailed Drongo from Asia.

goimagine.com/racket-tailed-dr

I do all these myself in Procreate—no artificial generating involved. I print, pack and post them all myself, too!

Here’s the speedpaint: makertube.net/w/nELfJN2oAcjGbb

And here’s the livestream when I made it: makertube.net/w/seDAsqWm3LNt4g

AND here’s a free phone wallpaper version for ya!

Illustrated phone wallpaper of a racket-tailed drongo, perched on some flowers. Behind the bird is a pink paper texture with a blue gradient at the top and a purple gradient at the bottom. Surrounding teh bird is crosshatching and a double halo of purple light.

An old quiz programme on TV mentioned the Australian word "drongo" - a bird in addition to being slang for a dumbass - and it's been a ridiculous number of years since I last heard it used as a mild insult. Reminds me of when we were cruising around South America and got talking to some Aussies and one of them actually said "Fair dinkum" to us. Like something out of the movies. We were stupidly happy to hear it.

Today's new print on my Etsy shop is an Ashy Drongo.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1534732941/illustrated-ashy-drongo-bird-poster-home

There are lots of different types of Drongos apparently! 28 different species--Shining, White, Spangled, Bronzed... This one is distinctive because of its gray, ash-like coloring.

It seems black to me, and I used a lot of blue in it, so... This illustration is an Ashy blue-black Drongo. My own species. Haha!

Radiating outward are more halos, akin to sound waves.

Egg signatures allow #drongos to identify #cuckoo forgeries almost every time
phys.org/news/2023-07-egg-sign

When perfection isn't enough: host egg signatures are an effective defence against high-fidelity African cuckoo #mimicry. By Jess Lund et al. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

"African #cuckoos may have met their match with the fork-tailed #drongo, which can detect and reject cuckoo #eggs from their nest on almost every occasion, despite them on average looking almost identical to drongo eggs."

4 pictures of groups of bird eggs: A selection of fork-tailed drongo clutches that have been parasitised by African cuckoos. In each photo, the right-most egg is the cuckoo egg.
