Description This took me so long 0.0 This must be the most detailed background I ever made. It was a lot of fun too, colouring all those trees.

Anyway, my *Mythconduct for this month. I was assigned to do the pretty barn owl (I forgot how much I love owls) character that belongs to *Windspeaker-wolf , called: Eclipse Moonsong.

I tried my best on this, because I still owe her something. Therefor I'm also willing to ship the original (A3 high quality paper) to her! Alongside her bookmark I hope you like it, Windspeaker-wolf; I tried my best to treat your fursona with care, as she must mean a lot to you

Coloured pencils+markers, around 25-30 hours

ps Looks better in real life, it was too big to fit the scanner so I had to make a photograph.

Wow. This is definitely one of the most epic pieces you've ever done.
The whole thing is fantastic, from the colours, details, composition...everything.
Gorgeous job on this. I can't stop staring at the nearest owl (her fursona, right?).

Thanksssssssss
I really need a good photograph of this, the reflection is bothering me.

I got so frustrated with the treetops in the end, I'm glad I didn't rush them.

Seeing this finished was pretty satisfying, I can't wait to do another piece as big as this one. I'm in the mood for something dark and freaky (like Pan's Labyrinth).

YES
DO PAN'S LABYRINTH
YES YES YES

I've been really wanting to do a large piece lately too, but I've been lacking the inspiration and time. Hopefully I'll have more time after my trip.
I've been yearning to do a realism attempt of some critter with watercolours! It'll be a challenge but oh, do I ever love challenges. <3

Such a lovely piece! The details really make it, and I love the atmospheric perspective too. All in traditional media is such a great bonus! ^^

Thank you. I normally have a lot of trouble with that kinda perspective so I'm happy you think it looks good.

Thanks for the lovely comment

I feel so obliged *I guess, not entirely sure anymore what that means, but it sounds right * to comment on this, even though I've already told you how much I like this in person.
I think it's your best work so far, and I know you're still trying to understand how good it is, HAHA, so I'm telling you again. I love the flying owls, the detail on the character, the colours, the barn owls look really like barn owls *I've been browsing through a little bird book*, ofcourse the amazing atmospheric perspective, different leaf colours for every kind of tree, the light and dark spots in the forest, the shapes of the trees, they just look a bit random, like real trees, not with standard shapes that only a couple of 'perfect' trees have. HAHA I feel like I'm talking about supermodels in the treeworld xD

Heh, no, but thanks. It's pretty important for me what you think about a piece
