Description *This is not a photo-manipulation its a digital painting!

(I will post tutorials on how I do my paintings soon )

This is an on-going project that I had locked away in my files for a few months now just waiting to be finished. It first started off as a photo-realism piece however I decided to add a painting feel to it and more flare so that it would stand-out.

I am not very good at painting barn owls, normally I'm used to depicting animals with more fur and fluff rather then nicely smoothed and preened feathers! so this was a personal challenge for me however I think I have overcome it so far.

- Soon I'll be working on more dynamic images but my owl projects have been a good stepping-stone back into making digital art images (as for a while I haven't been working on many).


*I would like to ask that you do not reuse,edit or redistribute this image without my strict permission . I want my art to be enjoyed by everyone, please don't let art theft ruin the sharing of artworks thank you!

This is the most awesome drawing I've ever seen. Oh, God, If I had the money, I'd request it as a print. I'm totally in love with it. So realistic! I couldn't believe it was drawn digitally!
So happy I found your comment on *Mikaces 's page... I have a new idol!

Thank you for the comment! well mainly its layering and looking at my reference photos constantly (as well as some barn owl feathers that I had in my collection). I will be making a tutorial shortly on how I created some of the effects in this image ^^.

Thank you so much ! this took a lot longer then the great grey owl that I painted, it took me around two months (with breaks) to create this image. I'm now working on something more dynamic now that I feel that I have officially warmed back up and can get back into drawing digitally again.
