Description
Many of you who frequent Taps may be familiar with the exploits of one particular Bald Eagle. Shown here is Alarus, freed of the weighty garb of his Sanctum of Pain. This completes my commission work for him. I'm still terribly displeased with how long it took me to complete this piece. But! C'est fini!Related content

he looks great! he has a very aggressive look(and a quite unusual eye).
i think he should get a better weapon for hunting, a spear would work much better than a knife.

I still look at this and am amazed by the intricacy of your work and your observational skills.
To this day I treasure this work of art and have it in a special place in my home, framed and honored.

That is very very nice. Those feathers and wings are great! I can never get feathered wings to look good. But nice job!

Well, still, you know what they say, in that, "You can not, must not rush good artists doing good art, unless you also happen to control the pursestrings and axemen of your nation."

And this is not a daily dev for what reason?
I would pick a fight with a demon just to have that type of skill...

Squeak! Thanks a lot. I've puttered over to your site recently, I'll have to go look at the pics and comment on them once my evening frees up.

You're very welcome. You do excellent work. I wish MY anthros looked that good. But I'm working on it.
And I would be VERY honored if you checked out my humble gallery some time. There's not much there; just 13 pics (with 9 in my scraps gallery); but, once I get me silly comp fixed (both the internal fans went out on it, drat !), I'll be uploading new pics like a madwoman! Heh. Just 'cause my comp's cuurently down DOESN'T mean that I haven't been busy drawing and such.
Take your time, though. I know just how busy and hectic time can be. Boy, do I ever! Especially lately!!!
Peace.

I'm really enjoying the many colors you stuck into the wings instead of giving them flat highlights. The lineart looks good as well. The way you drew the arms and feet are also very pleasing to the eye.

Most winged anthros are griffins or dragons, thank for breaking the tradition! Great job! Keep it up!

There ARE a lot of them like that, now that you mention it. Huh.

Well, Dissever is SORT of an eagle -- although she's technically an alien.

*smiles with pride as if "he" himself had something to do with this artwork.* "It is incredible and beautiful, the feathers *are* fantastic as well as the outlook and pose; a eagle imortalized by you. Well worth the wait to be sure."

I'm glad to see that it has pleased. :> Otherwise I might have to resort to a few punches here and there.

This is good work. I especially like the shading, and all the detail on the feathers. Very nice.

Next step: wings drawn edge-on. Dealing with/handling the lighting will be most entertaining.
