Peacock Drawing Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED

I should've done this when he died... but... better late than never.

Late 2006 or something like that... my peacock, Henry... was killed by a fox. I never thought how much I really cared for him.. thinking he was just a 'stupid, lazy bird.' I hated myself for it. Friends weren't that supportive either.. "Oh, your emu died... that's bad." And most of my lunch times were spent crying alone in the bathroom.

I've hidden myself away for many years about it... but now.. I want to open, the more deaths of animals have just made me think about him. I never got to say goodbye... or even "I love you."

So I'm holding a drawing contest for him... manips, paintings, drawings, I'll accept anything. I have so prizes though... as an incentive.

I'm sorry I don't have any pictures... but he was a male Indian blue peacock... Like most others.

They are all extremely beautiful everyone and I thank you all from the deepest part of my heart. I literally have the tears in my eyes from all of your beautiful manips.

I hope someone is doing a drawing or something like that, so it differs from all of these wonderful manips.

Thank you again
You are all so wonderful and supportive

I am planning on doing a computer sketch of your peacock; it will hopefully be colored, too. Very Happy

It may take some time, though.
