Description
I apologize for the lack of art recently, I just haven't been inspired or motivated to draw anything...maybe that's what art block is...Anyway here's another piece I've redrawn from The Legend Of The Guardians, as I was also unhappy with the previous piece, shown here [link]
Much more pleased with this one. I put a lot more effort into the detailing and the wings, plus I found a sharper reference still to refer from, which helped greatly. Still not sure about the fire though, still need more practice with that.

is it just me or does the coal bucket combined with the curve of the moon and flames look like a sword?

Looks great! Although i think you need to work on the shape of his face more.

It's hard to say, but I think his face is too round. There needs to be a curve, since Barn owls have more of a curve around there face rather then it being around.

Gah, I feel bad for not commenting on your work as much as I should be
I really love the improvement from the last version of this! It's all so beautifully drawn and clear, and the colours are amazing ^^ You can really sense the heat coming from the basket(?) A really striking picture, can't wait to see more

Thanks! I cheated a little with the wings as I just copied the right one for the left one
I always do that, cos I can never be bothered to draw the other wing, they take ages

I actually prefer the older one, simply due to the other one has an "action" feel to it. Also the eyes on this one are a tad bit derpy.

Well okay, but personally I much more prefer this one.
