Description I think I'm broken.

Note: Yes, I've read the Guardians of Ga'hoole books-- or enough of them to know that they're not my thing, and these owls have nothing to do with them.

He looks innocent now but he had to have pulled the feather out at some point...
lol these things are hilarious xD
And the other various animals are a wonderful touch

lol Can't get enough of owls huh?
Or maybe just can't stop drawing them? ^^

The little chubby one in the corner holding a feather in its mouth is so cute I think it broke something.

Such wonderful work.

How did you get so good at drawing beaks? Was there any specific source that you used to work on them? It seems that no matter how hard I practice, I can never make a beak look like it should.

I'm lucky enough to be very near a lot of bird species every day. Observation and lots of practice are the best advice I can give!

Excellent. It's pretty much what I expected to hear. At least I seem to be on the right track.

Thanks for the advice.

Oh your owl art is so inspiring! I actually bought the first book in the The Guardians series because of your owl artwork. I haven't read it yet though but it's next on my list. It's nice to know that your owls have nothing to do with this book I'm about to read (now now I know, lol). When I first saw your owl characters I wasn't sure if they were based on that book or not-but they are so expressive and have such personality that it made me want to read a book about owls/owl characters! Thanks!!

XDD Sweet. I'm stuck doing pretty much everything at Wolpertingers united, though I have gotten a few colorists, which is VERY helpful @_@ But, being able to go through and do the front page art has been kinda difficult. XD I need to do that, but maybe once this semester of college is over

I <3 fluffy owlet with feather, fallen over owl, stalking owl, and kingfisher.

I know you are using these for Gaia, but would you let me use the little owl with the feather for an LJ icon? I don't want to use it without your permission.

Thanks!

lyosha In reply to K-Es-Tressier [2007-12-01 05:30:33 +0000 UTC]

The first four. They're honestly really painful for me to read. aaargh. X) Maybe I should just grab one of the later ones? Man, the Warriors books weren't this difficult to get into!

K-Es-Tressier In reply to lyosha [2007-12-01 07:14:48 +0000 UTC]

First four where....The capture, the Journey (these books i found to be less interesting then the others) the 3rd one is....the rescue and the 4th is the Seige. The Seig i liked more then the first three...I found the rest of the books more exciting, but maybe the books just arnt your cup of tea eh? I really liked the books after Kludds death and the new ones about the Ancient Stories. So wut didnt you like about the first 4 your read mostly? I found that the one about Saint Aggys was ok, but the Journey i found really boring. I spose they needed something to introduce all the characters tho xD

lyosha In reply to K-Es-Tressier [2007-12-01 13:28:08 +0000 UTC]

The plot and characters are okay, I guess-- a little boring in parts, or just plain silly-- but my biggest problems are the writing (which, honestly, is bad-- even for a young adult book) and the avian biology, which I don't expect anybody but complete idiot bird nerds like me to have a problem with. X) Just... read Watership Down, and then read Guardians of Ga'hoole, and you'll understand.

K-Es-Tressier In reply to lyosha [2007-12-01 21:04:13 +0000 UTC]

I have read watership down. xD Anywai, its sposed to be a fantasy series really and doesnt really protan to reality. Her Writing skills are not the best, but i liked how simply it was. Lol i happen to be quite the Avian geek myself and the stories did bother me a little bit when it came to the actual biology, But as i said, its not sposed to be science fiction, pure fantasy. C:
