I’ve had this piece in my head (and on random post-it notes) since 2020-2021. It’s nice to finally put it to paper, or to procreate I guess. It’s not quite how I pictured it, but it’s where I’m at now skill-wise.
The Crane Wives are one of my favorite bands, and have been a huge inspiration in all of my creative pursuits, whether that be art or writing. Their music really speaks to me.
It was interesting reading up on the meaning behind the band name! I wasn’t aware of the myth of the crane wife before, it was really interesting reading up on it, and it helped me figure out exactly which bird to draw. If you’re not familiar with it and like mythology, I definitely recommend looking it up!
[ID: digital illustration of a red-crowned crane with its mouth wide open and a stylized, long neck wrapping around and behind it. In its open beak are the hand-lettered words: “THE CRANE WIVES”. There is a white border around the edge of the frame, and the piece has a word, rough style to its inking and rendering./end ID]

The red crowned crane traditionally nests in marshes, but most have been drained. So the cranes are raising their offspring in an irrigation channel. All through the summer, the chick is entirely dependent its parents for food. The family won't be able to move on until the chick can fly. BBC Earth

The grey crowned crane is big and fancy, and is the national bird of Uganda.

Dramatic auspiscious tsuru (crane) pattern for this antique black base bridal furisode. More exactly, you can see here beautifully depicted tanchô (red-crowned crane), tsuru being a more generic term for this bird specie.
Crane is one of my less favourite traditional pattern, but even I must admit this dance of cranes is pretty stiking!
