Description
Yeah, this was supposed to be a totally serious picture of me getting re-accuanted with my colored pencils, but this is what happened. I did the body first, and I put WAY too much color in it. Then I thought, "I'll do the wing, and make it less saturated, and that will balance it out"Like hell.
So, instead of going "screw this!" and throwing the picture away because it wasn't coming out the way I wanted, I decided to finish it and have fun :3
THE STORY OF RAINBOW OWL
(this will be funnier to people who have read Guardians of gahoole)
Rainbow owl was born in a lush forest called silver viel. No one was sure what spieces his parents were, but as he poked his head out of the egg, his parent gasped in horror. Rainbow owl had bright, brilliant featheres that captured the sunlight and reflected it back in the million colors of the spectrum. To a human, this could be considered beautiful, but his parents had only one thing to say:
"what a freak!"
Rainbow owl grew up being taunted by his fellow owlets. They called him names, scourned him, put vermin in his bed, and so on.
Rainbow owl began to grow weary, and he soon began to hate. HOw dare they call him such things! He could kill every one of them and it would all be over!...yes...yes, he could do it!
Rainbow owl's once innocent mind began twisting and writhing, thinking of new ways to plot the murderous downfall of his piers.
Then one day, St. Aggies came to snatch some eggs, as they often do. Rainbow owl was in a particularly awful mood, and one of their scouts bumped into him, and screeched "watch it, bright beak!"
That was the last straw for Rainbow owl.
He flew at the owl, beak agate, hissing and snarling, his giant talons poised to strike! His claws dove through the thin layer of skin protecting the owl's insides from the world, a torrent of blood and screaming poured fourth. But rainbow wasn't finished. He mercilessly yanked the bird's limpening body and hurled him against a tree branch. The body flew (no pun intended) through the air, and snapped groutesquely over the branch, gurgling softly. The now lacerated, broken body fell freely through the air and landed in a disheveled pile on the forest floor.
Then, none other than Skench flew up to rainbow.
"we could use you as a soldier!" she uttered, weary of the owl, none the less.
"i'll do it" He said, without hesitation.
Now, Rainbow owl is being prepared at St. Aggies.
He has a special room, in which he never leaves, but some of the lesser moon blinked owl say they see a brightly colored bird who flies with a shroud of death and giant talons that snap frail bodies like autumn leaves.
You may laugh at rainbow owl. You may mock and jeer. But he doesn't forget you. He is being prepared, and one day, he will be released into the world. And as you lay your head on a pillow at night, be very careful. Because rainbow owl will make very sure, very very sure, you never open your eyes again.
Wow, Aren't I just amazing? I came up with that story while I was srawing this XD They need to have a mental hospital dedicated entirely to me XD
The character is mine, however, the mask he is wearing is (c)Guardians Of Ga'hoole which is (c) Kathryn Lasky
Yay.

Great job. Great use of colours. (Of course.) .... I think this owl here was my inspiration for some owl characters in my GOG fanfiction; The Heddvens, owl hippies. But then again, this guy is anything but a hippie..

Poor owl. But the way his eyes look. It's like he's part Crowl (I now prefer not to call them that dreadful word Hagsfiend, since some of them can be good)

Yeah, I didn't think about that. Ahh, the hagsfiends, I remember those. I loved their design, and I loved thier deviousness, but I hated them for planning again Hoole and H'rathgar so much.

I don't really think all the Crowls were bad. I think Ygyrk is mostly a nice one but is kinda corrupted in her desperation. And Ullryck is a awsome haggie. Did she desert Lord Crazy in the second book?

You know, I feel like a horrible GOG fan, but I don't remember. I read all the books in 5th grade, and now I'm in ninth grade.
I really enjoyed the tomes of the Legends, so I think I'll reread those.
Those names sound really familliar, but I just cant quite grasp the characters behind them. Sorry, I'm not much of a help.

What would had happened to Rainbow Owl when St. Aggies fell to the Pure Ones? Though now I wonder if Skench was really a turnfeather...she was rather quick to turn on the guardians...The Pure Ones most likely would had executed her, Spoorn, and the other top owls in the canyonlands.
You know...I had an interesting idea. Maybe the Rainbow Owl was liberated and flew to the Northern Kingdoms. I think the Kraals would be in love with him. I mean they painted their feathers with berries, but if this owl had them naturally...the pirates would think that he was Glaux-sent.
Did you ever consider what species he is?
