Description started 'Owltober.' Draw an owl a day. Do it. As an exercise, for fun, and because owls are clearly fantastic, even if they can't move their eyes.

Bowler hats signify status... and badarsery.

Think about it.

That owl is gangsta!

Oh, so it's a thiiiing.... that explains the abundance of Buuya owls I've been seeing in my devwatch

It's a great theme! Owls are such kindly, wizened birds, and seeing you render them is just fascinating.

What a clever idea for a prompt! I love this owl. Only owls can manage to look thoroughly cute and thoroughly evil at the same time.

srsly? owls can't move their eyes? cool trivia.

in Buuya-land, we learn smthg new everyday! (cue happy Barney song that makes u want to puke)

but really.

btw, aren't bowler hats sposed to be roundish at the top? like this. [link] Or maybe the bowler fashion has moved on with the times, and i'm not up to date.

u should design a bunch of Owl Mafia characters. starting with this awesome-looking bloke.

Buuya In reply to Charlemaine [2008-10-14 00:25:33 +0000 UTC]

Very true! There pupils and eyes are set in place, and they have to move their entire head to change the field of vision. Also, they are extremely far-sighted, and almost blind up close. Huzzah!

BARNEY! Oh god, scourge of my 5 year old existence

Some are rounder, some flatter. It's a rounded lump with a smother plain on top, depending on the build, though some are very quite round.

Thanks

This is a great idea. I think it could also apply to other things...like erm I dunno...trains.

Mm, it was fun, and I just had to do it

Haha, a train a day. Busses and street cars, too!

I have a feeling that this owl is the animal kingdom's equivalent of a mafia don. I'd say more, but I'm afraid he might put a hit out on me o_O

Oh my God I love his twisted, freaky, mysterious grin and the waggling eyebrows (that I am imaginging) making the hat dance. If he is not evil (and charming) then I don't know who is!

Ha, that's a really neat idea! I would do it if I wasn't already committed to doing Villain Month (draw a villain a day), but if I have the time, perhaps I'll draw a few owls for fun. ;D

And I love this! He looks like the Owl Tycoon or something, there's so much greed in his eyes. Great work!

On a very random note, I was actually just thinking of a video that I think you made. Very catchy and involving text movement and whatnot.
