Request: Plush Birdy

Behold the epic cuteness!!!!!

This is a request for ~kauf-mich. He asked for his insanely popular subject, Birdy, to be drawn as a plush toy. This little owl is the cutest thing you ever did see, so I doubt I did the poor thing justice. You'd just have to go see him for yourself. Anyway, I hope you like it, Mike! (Sorry it took so darned long!)

I'm a little iffy about the bland background. I have also been practicing with lighting tecniques, so any tips or advice are welcome. Thanks all for looking. Now go give Birdy some love, and help him conquer the world!
