A journey to stylize a crested pigeon pin. I like how I start off basically realistic and work my way from there.

Really happy with how the pin design turned out. Now I just need to investigate how to manufacture pins. :'D

Crested Pigeon (Ocyphaps lophotes)

A widespread Australian pigeon, now thanks to agricultural practices, the Crested Pigeon can be found in most regions of Australia, save the northern-most tropical areas. They feed heavily on grains and are only one of two pigeons in Australia to have crests.

Theorized as a way to distract predators, the Crested Pigeon's wings make a startling whistle sound upon take off, which eBird describes as sounding like a wind-up toy. Typically these sorts of wing noises are thought to draw attention to birds flying away rather than those who are still on the ground, and this also gives other birds in the area a heads up that the group is flushing and taking to the air.

[ID: the first photo is of two Flock bronzewings, one with red-brown wings, a blue body, and a balck and white head, the other a duller version of the first. they are standing on rocky ground. in the second photo, two Crested pigeons, both pale grey-brown, with purple wing feathers and black and white tail fathers. one is showing off it's tail and wings. they sit on rocks]

I am geninuniely struggling to contain my excitement about all of the pigeons in the world! LOOK AT THEM!!! 😭

do you like the Flock bronzewing? or perhaps the Crested pigeon is more your style?
