This is my entry for :iconanthro-fantasy-club:'s National Animal Contest.
I drew the Hoopoe, Israel's national bird.
I chose to focus on the ancient history of Israel and the land of Canaan. Along with the obviously hot climate, ruins of temples, ancient tombs and relics come to mind.
Clothing in these regions included simple Tunics and togas of various color. The light blue dyed robe as seen in this work was made of various plants.
In spite of the hot climate, the land is quite fruitful and various kinds of plants are present.
Pottery is also something I use to associate with ancient Israel, as they were commonly used and often found in Archeological findings.
Adding one of a few symbols made for this contest wasn't mandatory, but I've decided to add the star sign (which reminds me of a sun) on the pot the Hoopoe is holding.

I should definitely learn more about the history of the country I live in, that's for sure!

Amazing concept. I really love it, you connected so incredibly much concepts in this drawing. Like you explained. What I really love is your colloring it's so soft looking, while you deffinitly drew on rough paper. and the chanterelle is so beautifull but that's the kind of breed of the bird of course. Let me say you picked a beautifull bird.

Very cool idea to have the bird's talons acting as hands. Most anthropomorphic birds have the wings grasping stuff. :)

Pottery is found in most cultures if not all. :aww: I too wish to learn more about Canaan. I hope someday the land will be called by it's ancient name once again, and the Canaanites, that have been so maligned, will be shown in their fair light and the people and the gods honored once again. :heart:
