Description
All right. Here it is.My entry for 's 600 Watcher Contest. (Congrats, by the way, that's super amazing!)
Well, to start off, I can say I had a great deal of fun with this one! As soon as I saw that the contest was to draw one of her characters, I knew exactly who I was going to draw; Horologix. Because we all know I'm a sucker for a beautiful bird boi Birds are awesome. Characters associated with time are awesome. There was like, no question in my mind, here XD
I spent a really long time pouring over references of him, so hopefully I didn't make any errors in his design, here, or at least, nothing very big! Looking over his bio gave me the idea for the name, and the whole trippy, illusion-like setting of the piece, and his dramatic pose. I've got a whole notebook page full of dramatic bird poses now! XD
I wanted to use more than clocks for the time aspect, so I went with other time-measuring devices as well; candles, sundials, and hourglasses. I also knew I wanted to put in stars, so I searched around to see if there were any owl constellations. Turns out that there used to be. It was called Noctua, but it's no longer recognized as a modern constellation, so I went with the next best thing. The constellation in the upper left corner is Horologium, the Pendulum Clock.
I don't expect to win the contest, but I really, really hope that TheAkanemnon likes it!

Thank you! I don't know if I believe that, lol, but I certainly put a lot of effort into it. I am pretty proud of this one! It's on my refrigerator :3

It could be. I always thought the best stuff on here were some of my paintings, but it's hard to see all the real detail in them because they're too big to be scanned XD

Aaaaaah, look at the floofy birb!
Man, I absolutely love the angle you took this. I actually had something similar like this in mind some time ago, but you managed to do it way better that I could ever imagine it. The use of different time-measuring devices, the biiiig clock he's standing on and the constellation is a neat touch as well.
Thank you so much for entering

I'm very glad you like it! Oh, I tend to seriously doubt that I executed a similar idea better than you could have lol XD But just the same, I'm very flattered that you think so! I would feel awful if like, here I am, drawing your own character for you, and you didn't think I did him justice. I was really nervous, actually. You did such an amazing job with Heather I knew I had to do my best for Horologix here :3
You're quite welcome! I had fun, and I'm glad you're pleased with my entry!
