Description Owltober 13th!

Meet the Northern Hawk Owl.

Today was awful. I spent the better part of the day lying in bed with ice packs, trying to bring down a boiling fever. My wife wanted me to go to the hospital, but I seem to've pulled through and I'm starting to feel better. And thanks to that fact, I finally made another owl that I actually like! Whaddya know.

Oh man the TEXTURES. This is really eye-catching design work, and the color scheme is awesome.

And holy crap, I'm glad you're doing alright now.

Haha, I've been abusing textures like crazy in my owltobers, but I just can't stop. XD They make things so much more interesting to me. Glad you like this turnout here! I'll let you in on the secret of the colour scheme- [link]
I just ditched the pink since I didn't have enough elements in the scene to work it in. Cool website for palette inspiration, though!

Thanks! I actually woke up sicker today than I was yesterday, but we finally got some more advil cold & sinus and it's made me not want to die again. Just gotta stay hydrated and break up this congestion.

Thanks! This morning I woke up feeling sicker than ever, so I guess the curse didn't quite hold. XD But I got more medicine and it's made me feel somewhat better again, so I'll do my best not to keel over!

Super glad you like the owl. I'll do my best to make the next owl a cool one, provided I can get one done before the meds wear off. >>

Thank you! x] It's actually all digital, but I was trying to emulate pen and ink with the rendering of the owl, so I'm glad it came through. ♥

I was also nursing you like a nice wife~. Way to conveniently leave that out. xD

I'm glad you're feeling better. <33

Still reminds me of like, those vintage propaganda posters, colour scheme-wise.
