Since this tired, stupid af discussion has come up yet again, here's an Artist's Rendition of turning 30 in the fandom.
This is completely batshit, but we're gonna do it all again in 2023. Gonna cap it at 500 this time. Leave me a comment if you'd like a link to the form <3
This is a few years old, but I like to bring it back every now and again. The Nonpology.
There is nonpology energy in the air today! (old art is old)
NERVOUS. GOING FOR IT.

Thanks all <3
This had been hanging unfinished forever... a very unlikely person inspired me to finish it off, though!
Did I really convince myself to make this over one admittedly silly joke? YES INDEED.
(1/4) Stuck in a too-long line for the Spider-Man ride... OH I KNOW. I’LL POST MORE OLD ART. These are from 2015. I think. I’d done so many conventions at that point that I was starting to see patterns.
Gonna come up with a few more designs, then kickstart the lot. Yup!
To be blunt: I've been feeling really shitty lately & would like to do something nice.

Thanks to a kind soul on FA who did a count, with this update, we are at exactly 400 birdfriends! Whoah. As always, this is an ongoing project that I only get one day a week to work on. If you aren't in yet, please don't be sad. I'll get there <3
Commish for my good friend ! Hanging out at the con, discussing some uncomfortable truths with his lady fair, hehe <3
I feel like I just posted this recently, but dammit I live in Florida & I had anxiety issues before this pandemic so now they are like, waaaay off this chart! Maybe I need to add more levels.
Happy BirdsTaking to all who are celebrating today <3 Stay tuned for a special announcement later regarding BirdsTaking 2023!
Hay all! Happy Actual BirdsTaking <3 It is now the 6th anniversary of this silly holiday which began as simply a birdcentric anti-Thanksgiving. It has evolved into a noisy, boisterous party for all. Enjoy your recreational pooing, friends <3 #BirdsTaking
I have a lot to do coming up, so I’m gonna lay off the social media for a bit. I will leave you with an art👍
Being a Horse Means debuted over the weekend at the convention. Thanks so much to all the kind folks who bought a print 💚 up next? Yeens and deer.
After taking a wee break last weekend, we are back and there are now 450 birdly friends attending the party! WHEW. The noise! The dander! THE MESS. Glorious <3

I've moved on to the last batch from the original BirdsTaking list. Rather than create a new doc, I've decided to pin this tweet & invite folks to share their refs here. If your ref is NSFW, please DM it to me. No guarantees on how many more I can fit but I will try my best!
The latest BirdsTaking update! Now featuring 331+ (I lost count near the end & didn't want to start over) birdly types. This is an ongoing/slow project, so please don't be bummed if you aren't there yet! I will, however, be taking next weekend off <3
It's National Bird Day! The second most important holiday on a birb's social calendar ;) #NationalBirdDay
Birds Taking family portrait - update is go! Fliers layer is turned off, since I didn't edit any fliers this time. If you don't see yourself yet, don't be bummed! I'm still working through that list. It's uh... pretty big. I only get 1 day a week to poke at it!
Woo, I am exhausted! This file is starting to crash on me :/ Anyway, here is today's update. Please don't be sad if you don't see yourself yet! I'm still very much in progress. Remember, this is a slow project - just one day a week for me. I'll get there <3
I like to post these every now & again, here are the Red Flags in the Dealers Den from 2015. Now, there are exceptions to everything here. These are meant to be exaggerated & comical. I like casting my character as the "antagonist" for pieces like these.
It’s BirdsTaking™️ Eve! In honor of the 5 year anniversary of the first BirdsTaking™️, I decided to color the original art . To my fellow ‘murican birds celebrating tomorrow : stay safe. Wear a mask. Pace yourselves. You don’t want to overpoo things too soon!
Here is the latest BirdsTaking update! As always, *please* do not be upset if you don't see yourself yet, I only get 1 day a week for this. I'm working on it <3 Fliers are back, all the wrong sizes of course but that will change if this thing ever finishes!
BirdsTaking 2021, but with some folks I missed and a bit more room for the fliers.
Trying to get to 6k on here, so... raffle time!

Aaaand here is the latest edition of the BirdsTaking family portrait! I think we are at or around 500. I gave up on counting. If you don't see yourself yet, please hang in there, I'm trying my best <3
To that one flier that I lost - I will be redrawing you in, since I can't find your layer! FORGIVE ME PLZ? Here's the latest, we're up to 436 characters now. This is an ongoing project that I only get one day a week to work on. I'll get there, plz be patient with me <3
Apologies to all giant birbs. If I can make you huge when this thing is all over, I will. #BirdsTaking2023

Just a small update this time. Please be gentle. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things after everything that's happened this past month, apologies if this is disappointing. I'll get back up to speed as soon as I can <3
Oh hay. How bout an art? Commish for the bananaderg, for his friend Nilbold. Yay.
she is beauty she is grace, be careful or she'll bite your face! Ya'll are all my valentine btw. Just accept it <3
Up to 644. If you k*fi'd me, I will get to you. If you got your info in to the freebie list before I closed it, I will get to you. Thanks all <3
ahem...LOOK AT ALL THESE BIRDS! Aaand remember, this is an ongoing project that I work on one day a week. If you don't see yourself yet please don't be bummed! The updates are weekly and I'm trying my best <3
Here is the latest update! Flier layers are off temporarily. Don't be sad if you don't see you yet, this is an ongoing project that I can only work on once a week. I was kind of on a roll today but my drawing hand is aching, so I cut things short. I'm sorry D:
Update time! Now featuring bonus horizontal layout (minus fliers atm)! Please don't be sad if you don't see yourself yet. I'll get there. This is a project I work on for free, during my weekend free time. <3
Don't forget to use your Bird Voices tomorrow night if you're trick or treating! More volume = more candy :D
I was weak and I couldn’t resist having these stickers made. You know, for my packed convention schedule and all :/
Twitter friends, here is a very classy copypaste comic from me to you. MWAH 💋
Here is this week's update! Remember, I only get 1 day a week to poke at this. Don't be sad if you don't see you yet, I still have a lot of folks to draw! Fliers are off (again, my apologies) but the next update will have a lot of new fliers. Still working things out spatially.
Please refer back to my last tweet if you're bummed about not seeing yourself yet <3 Also, some folks went missing from the sideways version. I'll fix that. I'm sorry. And hay, there are at least 660 characters now!
It's been a rough week, since I had to rest my injured drawing hand. So, pleaaaaase please do not be sad if you don't see yourself here yet. I'm still rolling along! I'm starting to feel bad that I can't have more per update, you know? I'm trying my best!
15 more birbs added! Yup...still exhausted over here. Please. Please please pleeeeease do not be upset if I haven't made it to your character yet. I promise I'm doing my best <3 and I only get weekends to poke at it.
Here is the latest update! Again. Please don't be upset if you don't see yourself in here *yet*! I'm sticking to my word on this one, it'll just take some time. This upcoming week might be a smaller update (getting my 2nd vacc this week!), so you've been warned <3
I have decided to open the list One More Time, at the end of the month. I'll leave it up for 2 days. If you'd like to support this free project I sure would appreciate it, please visit this link & feed me allll the cookies! Thanks <3 ko-fi.com/likeshine
This is half of a commission. I won’t be showing the other half. What do you think she’s laughing at?
SURPRISE! IT BIRDS! This project is entirely free, done in my spare time. I do accept donations (aka cookies) so if you'd like to reward this madness, follow this ko-fi.com/likeshine TY again friends <3 #BirdsTaking2023
Some info for ya'll. Also, I have decided to leave the form open until the end of the year. I've sent out a few hundred links & I'm sorry if I missed you. Please DM me if you still need it! I won't be taking folks year round this time, so join in before the end of the year!
OK, it's finally raffle time! Thanks to all of my volunteers <3 i wish I could've picked all of you, but hey, there are 2 more chances in the raffle! Check out the rules & enter if you're so inclined :) Thanks so much folks!
Birds, all I really want is birds
And in the morning it's birds
'Cause in the evening it's birds
#BirdsTaking2023
Here's an update! There are now at least 676 critters in this picture. I still have about 15 k*fi'd folks to go, then the rest of the freebie list. I'll be making a call at some point this week for anyone I may have missed. Stay excellent friends <3 #BirdsTaking
Here is the latest! This time I didn't really dip into the k*-fi list, just Twitter folks. I'm sorry so many have been waiting so long - I started this thing in completely the wrong order. Working on rectifying that.
