When the lovers meet. From the bushes he sang to her, then revealed and displayed himself declaring his love and attraction, she reciprocated aroused by his advance.

A scene from a story about birds that I wrote as a boy, which has evolved somewhat over time, now with a slightly Furry or Feathery twist inspired by the recent rise of the Furry / Otherkin subculture.

This scene was originally illustrated in monotone pen & ink, I decided to experiment with that aesthetic when hand painting this scene in VR. The story begins as a romance, but takes a dark turn. Originally I intended to write it as a reflective account of an experience during my childhood and my mental state at the time, also as a cautionary tale to teach children to respect animals, now more than ever, the diversity of wildlife we see and enjoy today isn’t going to last into the future if we continue destroying natural habitats at this current rate.
