“You know what I deserve (what?)
Dessert!”

“Hummingbird darts lightly through the world, spreading its message of joy and beauty, and teaching us to appreciate the wonder and magic of everyday existence. Hummingbird brings the gift of joy. Learn to laugh and be happy.”

For Hyoyeon’s birthday this year, I wanted to do something quite different from the usual witch / wizard and unicorn concepts I had been doing for her for the past few years. As I had an unused collection of coloured feathers at home, I had an idea to use these feathers for Hyoyeon’s artwork as I thought it would be something that suits her well. I remember I used to have a large grey ostrich feather for HYOYEON BIRTHDAY 2018: MYSTIC QUEEN 2018 artwork too!
I took inspirations from Hyoyeon’s recent hugely popular solo song “Dessert”.
I chose this following teaser photo of Hyoyeon for Dessert as my reference. It’s a photo that coincidentally gives off a kind of witch vibes like those in my past artworks of her.
Recently, I noticed Hyoyeon has also been expressing her wish to sing ballads, instead of the usual electrodance songs she has released thus far. It’s probably a challenge which she would like to take on next as a multi-talented singer-dancer-DJ!

So I thought about it, if I were to turn Hyoyeon into a bird species, then she could be a hummingbird!
Not only does a hummingbird has feathers colourful like a dessert, it also sings sweetly while drinking sweet nectar from flowers! Kekeke imagine Hyoyeon singing ballads like a hummingbird! *chirp chirp* πΆ
So I got down on making this artwork and completed it just a day before her birthday. Time was pretty tight as I had been juggling with many things at the same time lately so it took some time to take photos, edit them and write this post a few days late too. But what’s different this time was that I took some photos of myself making the artwork too! A change in perspective of my work-in-progess photos! π
