More avian perfection 🙂 The sparrow seems to be wondering if those fluffy seeds are worth eating. ---

Would you like me to try to replace it with a cropped version to remove the white bars? ---

Done 🙂 I used GIMP to open the original animated .gif file, then did a simple manual rectangular selection to exclude the white bars then did Crop Image to Selection, then Exported it as an animated gif. I still mostly remember how to use GIMP. ---

Nice! Thank You. I didn’t know you could do that with Gimp. Much appreciated! P.S. I was able to do this using Gimp as well … but took some fiddling…I’m not nearly proficient on/in Gimp… 🙂 Thank you again! ---

Dang! Even an ornithologist would be impressed by how much this picture looks like a real bird. ---

I am an avid bird keeper for many years. Haven’t drawn a single bird… Seeing this awesome work you done makes me not even want to try… [image deleted by a moderator] [video deleted by a moderator] ---

At first I was confused I was like “This is a picture” but after further inspections it’s a drawing. The realism of it and the final result is amazing [Next page](https://krita-artists.org/t/sparrow-final/98283.md?page=2)
