Artist's Comments

I always knew those birds were too perfect to be real! This one looks kinda broken, though... hopefuly someone will repair him soon! :D He has a little mechanical butterfly friend, as it seems :)
This was fun to paint - it looks the artist block which troubled me almost all the summer is finaly gone.
Reference for the peacock (for the non-mechanical part, of course :D): [link]

Mechanical Beauty by *Siluan offers such delectable sumptuousness, clearly displaying virtuoso with watercolours and utilising the medium's jewel opulence to the highest degree. A closer look is simply mandatory. (Suggested by `WaitingForTheWorms and Featured by ^snowmask)

I've to admit seeing the thumbnail I wasn't impressed because I thought 'hm, nice work, but nothing special', but then I saw what you truly intended and I was just like 'WOW'. :) It's a great idea and very well executed, a fave for sure! :hug:
:iconsiluan:
Thank you!
I have to admit, I'm quite satisfied with this picture... which is something that doesn't happen to me very often :D I'm especially pleased with the metal parts on the peacock, because it's the first time when I manage the metal looks like metal (I think, at least :D)

You're welcome :hug:
I've to agree, the metal looks very realistic :) In fact I like drawing metal, it's one of few things that always turns out well, at least for me :)

You should be proud, it looks so realistic~:heart:
:iconraikea:
:wow: really great. Details are amazing: feathers and all. I love the idea with mechanical part and I love how you drew it and colored the whole thing :clap:

You had a graet idea. And it looks so realistic.
I love the eye, too - it seems to be looking stright at me.

Peacocks actually have a brown eyes, but I adjusted the colour to the whole colour concept... and I like better, I have to say :D
