Artist's Comments

For :iconbarracuda-78:'s Birds of a Feather Contest.

I was going to make it a falcon-horse, then an owl-horse, and somewhere along the line it became both. There is nothing sensible I can name this creature. Fowl is an actual bird, and Owlcon is odd ^^; So it shall be named Raptorgus *-*

I've never left an image for so long, and ended up actually completeing it. I had it as my desktop background so it served as a constant reminder I had to get it done...

No background story to this (: just something that helped me focus on more technical stuff that I tend to ignore otherwise, lighting etc.

My six SACs starting from tomorrow. And here I am finishing this. You'd really think I'd have my priorities in order by now.

That's some of the best wing blending I've seen in the equine-manipping world! And the talons are exquisite. Great work!

This piece of work is awesome. Although I get the feeling that its avine features don't stand out enough to have those front talons, I am at awe at the effort you have put into this. Another fascinating creature of flying fantasy; the way you blended the image, especially the wings and the body is superb. Heavenly, ethereal and fantastical to boot!

Might do to focus on 'em SACs, though... Good job.
