Philippine Eagle - 2 of diamonds.

Done as my submission to the animal-based card deck being produced: Bestiary: the shuffling

The Philippine Eagle (also known as the monkey-eating eagle) is one of the rarest and most endangered on earth; estimates put their wild populaion at less than 500 individuals (at the time of posting this). They are massive eagles, with a wingspan of over eight feet, and are second in weight only to Harpy Eagles. Philippine Eagle pairs only lay one egg every two years; this combined with poaching, pollution (pesticides) , and habitat loss leaves the future for these birds pretty uncertain.

I hope to donate some of the proceeds I earn from my decks (once they go on sale) to the fine people that are trying to save these eagles. Keep an eye out around January-ish if you're interested.

Some photo reference used- there is blessed few photos / reference available of these guys!

Go visit my club!! [link]
I love the detail to the eye on this, but the entire piece is very stunning. After following your link I found myself looking into more information about adopting/sponsering one. :) Ah, I'm such a sucker for good causes when it comes to birds. lol

Nothing's impossible? Try slamming a revolving door.
Lovely! My only crit would be to make the diamond-leaves a bit bigger? I fear they'd be overpowered by the bird's figure when this is shrunk down and printed. <3
This is awesome! seriously, It is aweosme, if I had money and this were a print I would buy with no doubts

Woah, Very nice, Nambroth. This piece looks like it belongs in a high class autobon raptor guide. I just wish more people cared about these large feathered creatures.
