American and European robins are completely different birds but both nice enough. I had an Indigo Bunting in my (New England)garden once, very blue indeed. Woodpeckers are good for an interesting colour scheme, seen quite a few Pileated around here. Definitely concurring with Cardinals, Bluejays and Goldfinches.

One Day Outing Foreman: One Day Private Room Numakawa       If you're curious what he's singing at the end, I looked it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upODO6OuOOk So yeah, that's One Day Outing: dudes in an extremely hosed up situation doing extremely ordinary things treated with faux seriousness. Ordinarily I'd ask if people are into that but this time I am so certain this is going to be a winner I won't! Just, give it a couple chapters to hit its stride.

Thanks for the bird lists everyone! The consensus for north america seems to be cardinal, bluejay, goldfinch, woodpecker, and then a few birds of prey/waterbirds to give some different body shapes in the mix. Emzedoh posted:You could always do New Zealand birds - we've got birds for days down here. Actually, we didn't have any mammals at all until humans introduced them, so a lot of NZ birds entered ecological niches you don't normally find birds in, though a bunch haven't made it to present day. Maybe, kakapo, kiwi, pukeko, rifleman, stitchbird, rockhopper penguin, kereru for a decent mix of colours and body shapes? Also Pigsfeet on Rye posted:A vulture with the coloring of a bluebird or a raven colored like a Baltimore oriole You guys have vultures?? Mx. posted:the bird palette swap poster is really good i keep putting it in my cart, looking at my wallet, and sighing wistfully Aww thanks. Redbubble sets all the prices, so I can't muck about with them. I'll have to see if they've expanded their options to include smaller but cheaper prints? CrocodileKingSaysNO posted:! POSTER ARRIVED !

Tree Bucket, you must draw New Zealand birds for the sake of brotherly Oceanic solidarity. Strike a blow against Euro-American cultural hegemony! We, the Upside-down People, shall have our daylight hour! Edit: my heart speaks against any list that excludes tui and kea, but you're more of a bird enthusiast than me so you must follow your own path in this.

Black Vultures, Turkey Vultures, and California Condors, all excellent (and sometimes disgusting) flying undertakers. But the truly stunning vultures are in South America, with the King Vulture and the Andean Condor, two of my personal favorite birds.

Emzedoh posted:One Day Outing Foreman: One Day Private Room Numakawa I also wanna comment that the author, Nobuyuki Fukumoto, has written a whole fuckton of manga and his two standout works, Kaiji and Akagi, are very worth checking out and also have pretty great anime adaptations. Kaiji in particular is maybe the gold standard by which all gambling stories should be measured. It's incredibly tense, psychological as gently caress, and intensely creative. The first game they end up playing on their "gamble your way out of debt or go to a labor camp for the next few decades" cruise is Rock Paper Scissors with cards, and while the premise sounds dumb it will hook you so fast, especially given that Kaiji is a total disaster of a human who isn't actually a good gambler but is phenomenally clever when he's cornered. And yeah it would give some additional context for One Day Outing Foreman. Fukumoto has written a bunch of spin-offs about random mooks that come up in his stories and their regular lives outside the plot, and they're usually quite funny but it can help to know the context to really appreciate it Akagi is also a really fun watch but it's essentially about a mahjong prodigy and the fun is more in seeing how this literal teen (at the beginning of the story) destroys all these yakuza top dog gamblers through mind games and unparalleled talent. It's a ton of fun but Kaiji is definitely the better story overall

I'm a big fan of Akagi in particular, and though I haven't read or seen Kaiji, I've picked up bits and pieces here and there. I think One Day Outing stands up pretty well by itself once you accept the basic premise of the underground labour camp thing, though. One of these days I'll get around to Kaiji, probably.

At least one of those EU sales is me buying a poster for my brother in Australia so I'm not sure that counts - but I'd love an EU version as well. In my yard I see a bunch of: - blackbirds - eurasian jays (don't sleep on this one, it's gorgeous) - blue tits - great tits - long-tailed tits - robins - eurasian collared dove - jackdaws - chaffinches - wood pigeons - magpies - great spotted woodpecker - sparrows - song thrushes - and various finches

I was expecting someone more along the lines of the one I linked when I click on it, what a pleasant surprise. I feel like I'd be remiss not to link the song used as the opening theme for Kaiji, the series this is spun off of: it's got a similar vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buVRVxl1QfY The future is in our hands.
