They are quite "dapper" in their breeding plumage, aren't they?

The way you blended his suiting into his feathers is wonderful, and I love all the little "accoutrements!" Great work!

They sure are! Ubuntu picked a good name for this release.

Thanks for the comments - I wasn't sure how that blending was going to work!

Are you planning an Edgy Eft, Feisty Fawn, Gusty Gibbon or Hardy Heron?

MegLyman Featured By Owner Sep 4, 2007 Professional Traditional Artist

I have already done the first three and will be posting them shortly. I hadn't heard about Hardy Heron yet... I'll get right on it!

Can't wait, Can you do a time line with each of the animals squatting around the bar in a long image so we can post it on ubuntuforums?

Your images are really very good

Sounds like a good idea, and fun to do, but I don't know if I can get to it soon. I posted on the Ubuntu art forum to figure out who to contact about using these... do you know who to talk to?

Well you don't need to talk to anyone about using them; you made them right? your copyright wholesale. you only need to contact canonical if you use the logo or ubuntu name and make money etc etc; most of the time the approve use so long as it doesn't reference any other project anyway.

So er, post you newer pics if you have them, because I can't wait; and if you'd like me to make a derivative and post it on my DA I'll do that because as you say it'll be fun.

Yeah, I have the copyright, but I meant letting Ubuntu use them officially. Who is this "canonical?" I am searching the site but haven't found much useful info.

I will post some tonight. Let's hold off on any derivatives until I can talk to someone from Ubuntu, and I get the Heron done.
