Spontaneously Bald Eagle
This is a commissioned piece, and probably one of the more unusual illustrations I’ve done. The most challenging part of this illustration was making the foreground eagle mostly in shadow, but still looking like his head was -white- and not grey. I actually fudged it the first time, and ended up reprinting the lineart, carefully cutting out that one bird, and gluing him down over the first one. It’s not really noticeable in the scan, but in the actual piece, it has a neat slightly-dimensional effect.

Wow, what a great piece…..not something one would expect, but there is something really wonderful about the piece.
