Fuu... the sketch for this Barn Owl Gryph is over a year old. -_- I hate it when it takes me so long to finish a picture. *sighs*

Please don't ask me what the hell I was thinking about the anatomy in this one. It pretty much makes no sense at all. I had used a postcard of a barn owl as a reference, which stretched out its wing and somehow just two days ago it occured to me, that this pose looks cool, but it is impossible that a (cat)bird can fly like that. *moans* Anyway... I din't want to waste the sketch and I promised a friend to finish this and so I did.

The original shall be available at this year's AC ... unless I fail. *g*

We knew all the answers
And we shouted them like anthems
Anxious and suspicious
That God knew how much we cheated
:iconillahie:
If the image 'speaks' anatomy matters little to be honest. i adore this piece to bits!

I think it's fantastic!
:iconbloodhound-omega:
It's meant to be a gryphon. He haqs such long front legs, because I saw that barn owls have pretty long legs for birds. I think they resemble arms too much.

*thought the front claws, looked like they were coming off
the wings, which in and of itself, would be ok ^^*

AND...If the Critter were in a dive, or just going into one
I don't see why thisanatomy would be off. It's a wonderfully
boardered, and framed. The feather tipings are amazing <3

:iconbloodhound-omega:
Yeah... that's pretty misleading. ^^;

The wings would not be visible from such an angle when in flight, at least not that I could think off... plus there's that weird second row of feathers at the height of the gryphs back and I have nooo clue what I intended with that. Xp

Well, it's just something I like to add to a piece... something that makes it... more believable, more real, you know? The other effect is not to be underestimated and it fills me with joy to know, that this piece thas got such an effect on someone.
