Description A sketch created mainly for the purpose of practicing lighting turned out to look quite ok, so I ended up finishing it. I had loads of fun painting this one and it went along rather smoothly, too

For those of you who read descriptions, here's a link to some screenshots I've taken during painting: [link]

Created fully in Photoshop with a little bit of Painter.

I love her pose, it has the predatory stance of an owl, which is befitting. The background is lovely too, I love stained glass windows. I think you did very well with the shadows and light.

Those hands are incredible - and those wings, lovely. The glass and wall - must have taken awhile, ne? Gorgeous details, as always. Love the blue hue.
