Description In the deep forests of Vaethiniel there live three women - one very young, one very old, and one between the valleys of age.

Once twenty winters have passed, the greatest and brightest moon rises over the sleeping trees. In this night, the old magic is at its most powerful. It is said the three women, with their ancient gifts, gather around a cauldron that mirrors the sky. In this, the secrets of the next twenty winters are stirred, and the three women peer forth with the wise faces of owls, for only owls can read the words of the moon.

it's very difficult to draw a good owl anthro.
I don't like the most.
But this is absolute amazing!
(wish I can work with watercolors like you *-*)

This is awesome. I love the mood you have created with the light of the moon against the shadows of night. The expression on the owls' faces are priceless.

So...wolves can't read the moon? Dear god, all this time I've been decieved!

Cool concept though, with the owl witches. I had an idea for something like that for one of my role-playing games. Owls seem very much like the sort of creatures to form coveys, for some reason.
