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.

WoW! That is a realistic and wonderful drawing!

Not only the bird but the brach also!

I'm quite impressed and I like it very much!

It seems to me as if it would find its prey soon and than smoothly flys towards it...

That look is incredible!

*speechless*

Yours

Conny

Amazing, amazing work! The detail on the feathers blows me away. It's very clean, the lighting is great (something I always find hard when doing pictures of birds, myself. Kudos to you!), the pose is good, just...wow, man. Awesome. Unbelievably awesome.
