The Confident Woman Who Is Loved by Oriental Magpies

This creation is for Today's Challenge: Birds.

It explores Oriental Magpie which is found from south-eastern Russia to Myanmar. Magpie is a national bird of Korea and a symbol of its capital, Seoul. The bird is considered a symbol of prosperity and development.

This is rendered in Crystal Clear XL and inspired by:

• Dain Yoon, a fine artist
• Anna Dittman, a graphic illustrators (wings; collar and below area) ~ typo 😢
• Erik Jones, a painter (hazy splashes around human object)
• Okuda San Miguel, a painter (colorful geometric pattern)

I found it difficult to create realistic appearance in this setting and this is the closest one, by mentioning that it's captured by a Canon DSLR.

Moral of the image: "Confidence begins from the heart and not the appearance, hence the first step is to believe in yourself."

This is the first out of two birdy creations.
