I think my favorite part of this picture is the sailor on the right side mast. His expression just came out funny. I love happy accidents like that.

Even the vibrant use of color in this picture can not compare to the actual color of the pgymy. These little birds are exotically colorful. I just love it.

I started out sketching these little guys and the color on them was so amazing I thought it would be a great illustration.
