Hello everyone, it is time for a new art. Little bit in the spring theme with the egg, just missing Easter. The egg goes way back further than that of course, all the way back to the creation of the world in many myths. A lot of symbolism in this one to be opened, I'll let that to the viewers. I hope you enjoy

Two figures are gathered around a book on a grassy patch. Larger of the figures is holding the book and pointing something to the other figure. It is a large creature, with bearlike fur coating. It has feet and hands with large talons, if only birds had hands. a metal bracelet with a snake motif adorns its wrist and above it a small segment of scaly arm can be seen. Its head resembles the skull of a bird, with small expressive black holes for eyes, and a pair of three pointed black antlers growing from the sides. Above it in the air is a pair of charred skeletal wings like those of a bat rather than those of a bird. The wings are emitting light black smoke which is also replacing the tissue that would sit between the bones.
The other figure is an egg, about the size of a human child, it is wearing a pointy felt hat with ear flaps, that has a button sown on it so it slightly resemble the head of a bird. It is hovering in air above a tree stump, with visible growth rings and saw marks where it has been cut. On the book there is a slight emboss on the cover, with the top part being canopy of a tree and bottom part is five points of a star. The barely visible letters have some resemblance to stylized birds feet
