Functional, and looks solid. Are you going to paint it artistically, or just stain it?

Stain it, paint is too commercial of a feel for me. I'm waiting for my basement windows to get replaced next week, so that I don't stink up the house that bad while staining

Cool. I also like the cleanout roof.

Really? It was supposed to have a downwards angle to it..

I like the idea of a removable roof instead of a removable bottom. I've seen too many birdhouses lose their bottoms in bad weather, so have the top removable works better.

A removable bottom? That I have not heard or seen of, granted I live under a rock. The original plan this was based off of had a sideways swinging door. It used some nails as pins to hold it in place, obviously a deficiency. Good thing I went with the hooks 😅

Looks good.

Yeah those panel gaps nearly drove me insane, I gotta fill the inside next

How often do you make these?

Very

The first on I made for someone else

So the rest have been personal creations?

Most of them

I recognize that one (pre purge?)

Yip

I think so

@chaos_sorceror just gonna shout out to the awesome drawings, keep it up.
@1P-10 tac Keep at it and you will go far, everyone has to start somewhere.
@mightytrump It doesn't suck if it keeps the birds warm.

Fact Check: True.

Mhm, I am just annoyed at my non-mastery 🤭

Well, depends on how much effort you put into it. I'm sure you could build a bird a six story mansion if you dedicated your life to it, but I think there's something to be said for "Diminishing Returns" 😄

That's true, altho I expect a lot out of myself

^That's good. Expectations are healthy. That says a lot about you, and it's mostly good.

Unfortunately it tends to be expecting perfection out of thin air. I am very critical on myself when I fall short, to what seems to be "basic competence"

I could get into an entire philosophical and psychological exposition, but I am tired, so I will simply say "Take the damn compliment."

Sure thing 😅

Seriously man, good work.

Ah, well thanks. Hopefully the roughness has charm I can admire

Looks nice

Looking for advice with this one. The background that I'm going for is a sort of snow-dusted red rock environment, but I'm having a bit of trouble making it look right. Any suggestions?

is there a specific place you think that makes the drawing doesn't look right yet?

the first suggestion i've would be making the snow mountains at the far back a bit more blurry (since they are at the distance).

the snow softens and blurs everything (which may be why it looks a bit off). i'm guessing you use a softbrush and dust everything? the dusting on the rocks are okay, but on the ground it makes the sandy ground mucky and liquidified. i'd advised clearing the ground-layer and redo to snow on the ground with a hard brush. also: i've found this tutorial, and maybe this is helpful for you?

Yis

I made a carbon model

use lots of reference it really helps me
