The Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is the only native North American bird to be domesticated. Wild Turkeys inhabit a wide array of habitats, including deciduous woodland, dry scrub, and grassland. While this species is rarely found in urban or suburban areas, Wild Turkeys will visit agricultural fields and pastures. In fact, the ancestors of the Domestic Turkey likely became associated with humans through visiting maize fields in Mexico.

Skull-O-Rama
So my sister asked me to make animé button pin designs for her shop. She’s selling cosplay shiz tomorrow at the Philippine Trade Center.
Anyway, I’ve always wanted to do a series of skulls. Not a very original idea, but I really just wanted to. So I took the opportunity because why not? I might make more of these though. The original goal was to make 50 skulls.
I vectored these by the way. I would usually digi-paint shiz up. But I thought I needed vector practice cuz I’m pretty sucky at it. Anyway, she’s gonna sell these babies at around 25 php each tomorrow, in case you happen to be there with money to spare. Her shop is called Senbazuru, which I think means paper crane in Japanese.
Do people still buy button pins though? I’d rather they were stickers. But these were last minute stuff.
Anyway it’s funny though, but I’m not too familiar with animé anymore. I barely know anything about any of the characters I did. The only animé that I’m still following is One Piece because pirates and magic powers.
But can you guess who these are?
