Description Another pic for 's big collab project. Again, I encourage people to check it out, it's fun~

This time I managed to call my FAVORITE of the entire bunch, Noctowl~ <33 Man I love drawing these guys. Coloring this was a pain, but I think it turned out all right.

Now imagine this guy being about 8 feet tall.

Also. What is it about .png format that my pics always end up turning blurry and awful? :T

EVENTUALLY I'll draw something that isn't Pokemon......

I was looking through the collab entries and I saw this.
The first thing I thought was, "I love you."
Seriously. This owl is beautiful. I would pee myself from happiness if I saw an owl that big fly overhead.

KestrelWings In reply to CalicoGoldfish [2011-08-09 22:05:39 +0000 UTC]

Ahaha, thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

And I think I probably would too. xD I looooove big birds~ Pretty sure most Noctowls are only supposed to be 4-5 feet tall according to the 'Dex, but I made the one that belongs to one of my OC trainers twice that size so she could fly on him everywhere. xD

I love owls in general. They are on of my favorites. And yush a huge Noctowl would be awesome

Hizyy [2011-08-03 12:03:27 +0000 UTC]

Thank God real owls aren't that big, once two eagle owls were looking at my little dog like their next meal... I promised to shoot those birds down if they would even try to catch my little Tony. XD But just imagine if they would be that big, they would be catching little children or even me. :'''D But this looks great, very beautiful. You're good at drawing owls, seriously! 8D

KestrelWings In reply to Hizyy [2011-08-03 14:35:55 +0000 UTC]

Ffff eagle owls are awesome. Please please please don't shoot one! D: Just bring your dog inside. I would actually love it if there were owls this big flying around. Even if they wanted to try to catch me. xDD

And thank you so much! <3

SnowHowl [2011-06-24 21:36:41 +0000 UTC]

8-foot tall owls ftw!

ahem. gorgeous picture! i like the subtle feathering going on around the neck, and the simple shading. and the wings are looking very nice. very accurate to a real owl's? ?

bottom line: loooove it!

KestrelWings In reply to SnowHowl [2011-06-25 02:05:39 +0000 UTC]

WHOOOOOOO~

Haha, thanks a bunch! That shading took a lot longer than I expected it to, so I'm glad it paid off. xD And yeah, I referenced a bunch of photos to try to get everything right. SO MANY OWL PHOTOS.

They aaaaare. <3 Thanks a bunch!

varsaigen In reply to KestrelWings [2011-05-22 19:18:56 +0000 UTC]

He's got to be easy to ride from town to town. As one can't just hold onto feathers all day, there has to be a saddle somewhere. :/

Yep, Kes had a harness and saddle made for him when she started to travel. xD

smart choice. Most other people never think of that. They wind up clinging to their bird for the entire ride.

that's awesome! I really wanted Noctowl too, but I was really slow after the 2nd gen list was released, haha. I had a whole list lined up of ones I would like to take, and they were all gone! I guess that's what happens :b
anyway, I'm glad Noctowl was at least awarded to a good artist. that makes me happy (:
