Troopic

Two days ago I've found a newborn pigeon hatcling on my air-conditioner by my window. Only God knows how did he get there. I read on the internet what to do, and it showed great signs of struggling for life, but he died eventualy this afternoon.
I know I did as much as I could, but it was so tiny, almost transparent, and blind. I knew that he had little if any chance at survival...
I wish I could've done more for that little birdie... I have no idea if it was a female or a male... I even gave it a name as it died- Lesley. Fits both genders and I like it...
Apparently it means "Holly Garden".
It is very hot and humid here where I am, it was hard to breath even for me, it seemed that he had some troubles breathing at the end. I don't know why. I couldn't even get him proffesional food from a pet store, as it is the weekend, and here everything is closed. I wanted to get some today, at evening some stores open, but he died before I managed. One day he was flapping around with his tiny-tiny wings, all trying to stand up, and just falls down of exhaustion into his artificial nest I've made, and the next he flips on his back and dies...
He was very fiesty, he wanted to live. Too bad I couldn't give him enough.

R.I.P My little Lesley. I'm happy I met you, even if it was for a very short time, you kinda made me happy, with your flappings and tender breathing and the few yellow feathers you had.

First of all, Get a look at this cute contest is running. It's about dressing up his OC. Details on his front page, AND you can win subscription!!!
I'm going to try and participate!!! Yesh I AM!!!

Second, check out these awesome







Now.
Lately I have been surfing around DA like crazy, and came to understand that I'm not integrated in the community enough.
I joined a few groups, faved stuff and watched some new artists. Acknowledged the usefulness of the emoticons and the advantage of pretty page layout.
So I was thinking.
I want to get .
To buy something.
From DA, obviously.



The question is, should I start putting out commisions? I know masses of people on DA are doing it... I am not so bad myself, I can do comissions for .
The problem is, I have no idea how these stuff work... should I upload the finished work to my gallery and anounce that it is for X or Y? Or does the original PHYSICAL work belongs to the person? Help?

Recently I had some trouble with muses. They keep running away.
Now that I finally found myself a subject for a drawing, my old stlye- that I miss so much, I'm running out of ink~
Damn karma, I guess.

And my damn neck hurts like hell- I forgot how demanding inking is! Every stroke is a package of renewed neck pains.

Anyway.

Have a great weekend.
