Description
There are two music video animations I've been contemplating on doing for a long time and I decided to act on it, since it's been a while since I've animated and I would like to change that. Both of them are GoG themed by mere coincidence, I'm just really inspired by the scenes the two songs put in my head regarding the characters in the books. (That's how my brain works, I always see music video's in my head, either will characters from books or movies, my own characters, or randomly generated charcters (I have a whole rock-musical story idea because of that last one about a person who gets divided into two people because of some kind of cursed electric guitar that hypnotizes people and turns them into demonic minions and something about kingdom and magic and reserection and who knows what else don't look at me that way).SO here are some loosy-goosy sketches, please tell me what you think. They are as follows.
Lutta Focused Video Idea:
1. Ygryk - Hagsfiend. Not sure if she's ever described as anything more than a hagsfiend but I went a head and gave her tufts, and I tried to make it look like the feathers of her tail were pushing together and splaying out, but it ended up looking like they're coming from one long tail instead. She has a green tone. Also the book once said she had black eyes? But that doesn't make sense and was more likely a typo.
2. Half-Hag? Not to scale. Gave it a toothy beak, good for venom injecting. Will probably re-hash this design.
3. Kreeth! I'm most pleased with how she turned out. Her wing feathers should probably be longer though. Purple tone because she's a master of Nacht-magen and I relate purple to dark magic.
4. Pleek. Ygryk's mate. His eyes are dull as a result of his gizzard being corrupted from consorting with Hagsfiends, and his feathers are taking on blackish colorations and haggish raggediness from spending time around hags.
5. Lutta in her Hagsfiend likeness. I don't really like how she turned out. I tried to give her Great Horned Owl characteristics in her face, as well as her Da's feathery feet but her feet look funny and I don't know I'm going to re-do her design too. She's bluish like the niiigghh t
6. Lutta disguised as Emerilla by making herself look like Emerilla's da. I think Emerilla was supposed to be a rather pretty owl so tried to make her look pretty with rich colors.
7. Lutta as a spotted owl before receiving the feather to make her look like Emerilla. Just average I guess.
8. Hoole. Kind of handsome but also a bit scuffy in the face.
9. Lutta transforming from Snowy Owl to Crow.
10. Lutta transforming from Horned Owl to Barn Owl. She wasn't fully fledged when she did that in the books but I drew her fledged here.
11. Puffowl looking apathetic.
I also want to draw Lutta as a half hagsfiend half Spotted owl. The rest are from a first-book focused idea. Many are just based on the designs I already made for these characters.
12. Soren, a slightly updated design, gave him chest spots and also gave him his mom's color for the feathers near his eyes, because if I recall correctly he's supposed to be very like his father in appearance, but similarity's with his mom in the face - according to Mrs. P, who is a blind snake so what does she know.
13. Grimble. Just Grimble.
14. Marella, Soren's mother.
15. Kludd. Updated design. He still shares colors with Marella but is paler.
16. Noctus, Marella's mate and Soren's dad.
17. Spoorn. If you google "Spoorn Owl" you will get images of spoons with owls on them, but google will not correct the spelling of spoorn to spoon.
18. Skench and her wing scar.
19. Gylfie!
20. Digger.
21. Hortense and what are supposed to be under developed wings.
22 and 23. Jatt and Jutt. You can decide which is which.
24. Unk.
25. Aunt Finny.

You know I just recalled something, Hagsfiends are crowls...but it never says what kind of owls (though it seems like the tufts are present in all). If that was true and given how Burrowing Owls are good trackers...maybe Yygrk is a burrowing owl hagsfiend.
Kind of funny when you hear they are supposed to be crow and owl hybrids, but probably can't interbreed with either party. In fact it seems they hate crows if that one reaction to Lutta was anything to go by.

Okay, fair enough. Yeah, I was kinda disappointed when I didn't see it. : / *insert shrug here* But then again, Wiki's not always right, is it? My band teacher had a teacher who made up a disease that killed you, and it was spread by eye contact. He posted it on Wikipedia, and two days later, it was still there! XD Then he messed up another Wikia, and 5 minutes lay, it was fixed!

I was just looking through my To Be a King book (descriptions the main reason) and I found a line that has me wondering. I think not all hags have the same eyes, the dark pupil with yellow irises. I found a line where Ygryk is giving Pleek a look and her eyes are described; "Ygryk's hard black eyes'.
They are part owl...maybe some of them have the eyes of owls with dark eye color, like a Barn Owl, but their eyes turn completely yellow when using their power...the idea of Ygryk having Barn Owl eyes is...actually tempting, or maybe their eyes can change depending on mood. Like if Ygryk is calm then her eyes are black, if she's mad then they're yellow which makes them ready to cast...I love these weird birds
I wonder how old Hortense was in The Capture. She did say she was an adult, but in later books she is silvery-white...

Could you do some of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole minors? Like Ginger (how odd, she's described as being a red barn owl, while Pelli and Bell are kind of russet...does that mean she's darker red?) But my favorite one has to be Uklah (I kind of wish she was brought back to the Great Tree with the band and gradually was turned from a St. Aggies-Pure One, into a Guardian...and she would had been lovely with Soren. It would had been proof that dark owls can be changed).
I am a tad curious, is it just me or does Hortense seem to be red?
You know, why not make story pictures. What it is, the picture then you write the story in the Artist Comments. Some people I know do that and the picture kind of shows what the story is about.

I like number 10 since you give it a very unique appearance. That would be a cool creature, half bred owls, they look like they would be secretive but nice.
XD, I hate to say it, but that Puff-owl looks almost a lot like Tuvi except she doesn't have the beak, feet, and eyes
If you draw more of Ygyrk then I'll give you a cookie, that poor Hag is so mistreated and she's not really evil like some

KalahariMeerkatfan In reply to x-EBee-x [2014-04-27 01:35:01 +0000 UTC]
Oh...well I like her name is all (and I got a theory for her that is very different). These are great, especially
the hagsfiends (if not grouped then I would surely add them to the GoG Hags but can't since it includes none hags
and that would be very unfair.
Those half-hags look creepy but interesting since it would be the first half-hag fanart. You know...there is another
thing.
Ygryk was daydreaming about it, but she is a good description of a half Great Horned and half Hagfiend hybrid. It is
different from Lutta as it was described more...well I can't say.
We know Lutta was a Great Horned who was turned into a Hagsfiend by Kreeth but she has little of her actual traits
from her original species. You did good with including some owl features, but the hatchling that was described was
not just one or another...imagine if Lutta had met that...
I like the colors, how you give them shades that hint to the ties to the Dragon Owls (blue, green, I don't know with
the purple...don't recall that) but I mainly view them as blue-black, though Lutta was the only one to actually have that color mentioned.
But Haggies!

I just remembered that Half-Hags were described as gnat like at one point, so I'll probably tweak that design a bit, I'm glad you like what I have of it so far. And I'm glad you like my version of Lutta.
Purple technically has blue in it as it is a mixture of blue and red so I think it works And I'm pretty sure I recall at least one dragon owl being described as violet. Could be making that up though. But it did say they came in all shades of blue, and just as green can be considered a shade of blue in some respects, purple can be considered blue as well.

Lovely job on all of these I actually really like Lutta's design, I recognized who she was immediately without having to read the description. Her legs might look funny because they're a little long, though. She's supposed to be like a crow/Great Horned Owl, but her legs are like Burrowing/Barn Owl length.
Your owl anatomy has improved a LOT since the last time you did something like this, it's fantastic xD The only other suggestion I have is that the Barn Owls' legs are weirdly bald. Barn Owls have thick feathers all the way down to their ankles, or at least slightly above their ankles. I really like how Marella's legs are noticeably thicker than the males' legs, though, you can really tell she's a female.
Lutta transforming from a horned owl to a barn owl is the most adorable creature I've ever seen.

Ah that's awesome! And thank's for pointing that out, I'll be sure to real those legs in when I redraw her.
THANK YOU and your right, the last time I designed these characters they looked like vaguely owl shaped cartoon stylized blobs, I went back and looked at them to color drop the colors I used for their old designs and wow. The sketch dumps were slightly better but still. Oh wow your right they are bald! I didn't even realize I did that. I'll slap some feathers on dem legs.
I'm really tempted to make a separate character based on that sketch just because it turned out super cute.
