This is the Honey Badger*

*Not really. It's a "Tody Bird." Very tropical and colorful, so I cranked on this and logged in starts to finish here.

Starting with an IPad sketch, I got a good feeling for the placement.

Started with red, always a subtle warming trick.

Went dark in the background first, knowing it would go brighter later.

Nothing helps a silhouette better, than a silhouette.

Tried not to overdo the colors, hard with this guy.
