Description Tribute for and his sister guided by their mother for and Malika of course had no problems catching the slippery prey and watched her offspring from below. wWile her daugther Elanor was fiercly chasing down a flying fish, Eli got bitch-slapped by his prey. Who said it was easy to catch flying fish?

I just couldn´t help but imagine a stryx getting a fish in their face. Sorry if it´s out of character xD Also I love drawing those fishes. And for some reason Malika always stands out the most, maybe she´s just the easist to shade and add highlights becaues of her special plumage

Anyhow, been feeling a bit under the weather so I hope this turned out good enough.

Bahaha that fish! I almost didn't notice until I zoomed in.
Well, if that's the last thing it ever does in its life, at least it went out with style. lol 

Anyway, very lovely sunset, and nice work on the angle of the mother Stryx's wings. That looks a bit tricky, especially with that eye-spot peeking out from the underside.

hehe those fish were ridiculously fun to draw, especially the crashing one xD

for those perspectives I actually watched a video of an eagle hunting down a goat, at least for the mom perspective. Gotta do that more often, wings are crazy dynamic and flexible o.O

This is beautiful!! I love the shading and atmosphere so much aaa, that is a gorgeous BG! ;o; the Stryx blend in perfectly too
The poses are once again awesome, and poor Eli OMG, it's not completely in character, but not really out of character either since I figure stuff like that can happen to anyone lol! :'D I bet he's gonna hear about this at least a couple of times from his sister haha
Thank you so much for the gorgeous tribute set!!! ;^;

Thank you! Yeah, it could have happened to anybody really, especially young stryx. I suppose flailing around is a flying fish's best chance at getting away because the bird will be to stunned to catch em. Poor Eli though to have this happen during his tribute xD

Thank YOU for the commission! This has been so much fun, and I´ve really learned a lot. Don´t think I´ve ever been able to create atmosphere so well ^.^

YEP I mean.. if you are that fish it must be a nightmare to have Stryx hunting you, it's doing its best :'D

So happy to hear that <33

you´re right, we´re always siding with the stryx, when in fact the pray has a very tough time too :c

I've said this before but hot damn the shading and lighting on these is gorgeous! ;^;
I absolutely love Elanor's pose here, poor Eli though- |'D
Thanks so much for drawing these tributes, they're absolutely beautiful!

aww thank you I´m not usually that good with creating atmosphere, with those birds tho it just made 'click'

Yeah I read that she´s basically a badass stryx not to be messed with, so I gave Eli the less fortunate pose xD
