Description For '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.

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.

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