I actually did this one a few years ago, but we never got around to finishing the inner tail feathers. I had always meant to add some stripy dark grey lines over the lighter grey shading, but we never quite got to it. Years later it finally happened, and honestly, it really pulled it together.
This piece is really about pattern and it looked strange to have one part not like the others...
Also, it was fun to just dive in after all that time and just do it. No drawing or over planning, just pick up the machine and go. Very free and fun...
It was very cool that he requested such a graphically oriented piece, and it actually goes very well with his arm of tribal on the other side.
