Thanksgiving's illustration

My dog the turkey!
Digital painting using Photoshop and a trusty Wacom tablet

The inspiration for this illustration came from a podcast on food history, specifically about the introduction of wild turkey in Europe in the 16th Century. The historian stipulated that people seeing a turkey for the first time might have been fascinated by its beauty, which made me imagine a little prince wanting a turkey for a pet. 

A few days before starting the painting I had read Little Nemo again... can you tell?
