Description It's finally finished! Here is my complete painting of the goshawk "Norbert" (yes the falconer named him after Hagrid's dragon). What a super cool bird! He was a lot of fun to paint too.

Done in photoshop with a Ugee 2150 drawing monitor. ~13.5 hrs to complete.

I greatly approve of their name choice, Goshawks are dragons. This really captures their essence!

Yessss. I hope to fly one some day. They're really such cool birds.

I'm convinced their red eye color is their internal dragon fire showing through the hawk facade.

I really do too, I've only gotten to see one in person and I was awestruck the entire time. (Even though it sadly didn't catch anything on our hunt.)
That is such a great theory, it is accepted xD

Yup haha, the hunt I went on was similar. I kinda just beat brush while stumbling and starstruck haha

I got so awestruck I nearly fell down a (short) cliff xD I need to learn to spend less time trying to take photos and more time watching where my feet go!
It was a bummer cause we did flush like two jacks but the gos wasn't in shape as that was one of his first hunts since his falconer had come back from a trip. The cast of Harris Hawks did better but it would've been so cool to catch something with the gos!
