owl and skull finished

Beautiful work. The colors and tones are incredibly saturated, you really packed in the pigment on this one..very impressive. I like the soft transition of the colors in the background it offers the opportunity to transition other work around it. If you don't mind me asking what brand of needles did you use on this piece. Im a big fan of Lucky's Brand Needles, i really like the Taper on there textured needles but they seem a little inconsistent sometimes and they are a little pricey. If you could maybe throw a recommendation my way id really appreciate it.
