05 Pileated Woodpecker _Head

The head was particularly difficult.  Not just the beak and all, but the whole shape.  All the contours, feather directions and layers are so subtle, and very different from everywhere else on the body.
Getting the eyes positioned just right was particularly difficult.  Namely because I wasn't casting the eyes themselves, I wanted to use glass eyes so they looked more realistic.


This is now up for sale!   I plan on making a number of copies, no more than 25.  If anyone is interested in purchasing a copy, look at my Etsy listing.  If you're interested in making a commission, just send me a note or email me at headzonkstudios@yahoo.com.  Delivery will have to be discussed prior to purchase.
