[art] t'u'utsgm ḵ'asḵ'oos - black heron
2 months, 2 weeks
this was may's design for my sticker club over on patreon - posting much too late because i was very distracted last month for a million reasons, it just slipped through the cracks lmao. the spares of this design will end up on my ko-fi shop eventually!
heron and crane formline designs are always some of my absolute favourites, and i really wanted to take a crack at one myself. black herons are not found in the north american pnw of course, but i was inspired by seeing pictures of them while hunting; they're known to encircle themselves with their wings to cast a shadow on the water, tricking fish into thinking they're hiding from predators. very beautiful and interesting birds.
