Inked NZ Kingfisher

This was part of a series that was commissioned. Each of the New Zealand birds in this set is done in an inked 'tattoo' style. Various outline thickness has been used to create depth. I have done a few kingfishers in the past but it was nice to do one that was specifically Kiwi, the turquoise tones have a subtle elegance. All the backgrounds are similar with a blue blur and a few hashes.
