Description Background = EPIC FAIL T_T

Sorry for the lack of recent updates - I've been continuing work on the animation preview I uploaded on DA and it's now halfway done. But it's a killer of an animation which is why it's taking so long

Anywho

I've been meaning to do this for a while - it's a dedication of sorts to the most awsome bird at college - Yoda the barn owl. My fellow college/DA buddies will know who I'm talking about. He hatched earlier this year and we had the honour of hand rearing him. He's since reached maturity and is a friendly (and awsome) as an owl can get. Soo yeah Rock On Yoda!

Pic itself took a shamefull amount of time considering it isnt that impressive - I think it was something like 5 or 6 hours in the end. It was reffed, but not heavily and I'm afraid I can't remember the link source. But anyways enjoy ^^

Wonderful texture, and very nice shading, very smooth looking.

(A barn owl called Yoda? Would that happen to be the same Yoda as the one on Merrist Wood Campus? Just curious. )

I love barn owls. This is really good, the detail in the wings is amazing. (I always fail at the wings) Can't wait to see your new animation.

very good, it looks absolutely great. colouring is so beautiful.
but i think it'd look better if the bird wasn't so blurry.
owls are really beautiful birds and you've done great job drawing one.

I like the background :/

It reminds me of an amber prarie, the grass turning softly gold as the summer rolls over.

I also love the eyes and the texture of the feather's on it's face.
