Description A Golden Eagle on watch for any movement below. Golden Eagles are a sight to behold. Huge birds that can bring down even small deer. They are the Apex of their food chain. Feathers replacing scales in these dinosaurs of the skies. Raptors are frightening creatures if you could only imagine them at a slightly larger scale. They could easily take down a man ... Even the Golden Eagles of today could if they really so wished. I wouldn't want to mistakenly end up near an eagle's nest if they were around.

Ahhhh I've had several requests asking if I had a reference for this. I found the eagle after searching a while ... See > [link] The branch is from a photo as well, but has been modified alot to appear more fitting for the drawing.

HEY!! This is totally awesome....the shading, the postitioning...all of it. Brids of Prey are one of my favorite subjects. The last one i did was a tattoo....i guess i am just gonna have to put one in my gallery.....

It WON'T, however, compare....so don't worry.

By the way, are you the Houly from AW and chat that i met online? Just curious!

Holy crap. I'm burning all my drawing pencils, unless you want them. Seriously, this is so amazing... I can't believe you drew that.

What did you use to make this picture? Did you shade with pencil?

HOULY1970 In reply to DarkRiku435 [2005-04-04 20:18:29 +0000 UTC]

Yes after tranfering the final layout onto the paper I used exclusively 6b pencils to finish it.
