This didn't come out quite like I wanted it, but here we are. Read from it what you will.

But that's a red canary?

Well. It's a red bird, of some random sort.

Outside my high rise appartment! lol I like it, even if it isn't exactly what you intended. Sometimes the stuff people like is the stuff you didn't intend... or something??

There's the macabre nature of death, but everything is so serene and gentle-looking. I love love love the hands with the bird.

Thank you so much!

^_^ Once (if) I redo this one, there's a companion to it. Maybe I'll do that one next. Yay dead guys.

is the title a reference to 'exquisite corpse'?

i love how even though he has a skull head, he seems so gentle and caring. i'm bad at figuring out what things mean, but i definitely like this one.

when i first looked at it i thought the background was like a forest, but now i'm unsure. it has both a calm, natural, organic look as well as a creepy spectral feeling too. but maybe not the bad kind of spirits, but it definitely gives it just a bit of hauntingness, which is beautiful when paired with his gentle posture and the tenderness towards a fragile bird.

Heheh. No, there's a song out there called "Exquisite Dead Guy" by They Might Be Giants which I don't really care about, but the title's cool, so it... stuck? Heh. But That's neat, the exquisite corpse game. I like that a lot.

Eventually, I'll redo this picture-- it needs less color. And yeah. He's a sweet dead guy, I'm glad you picked up on that. Thank you for the comment.
