update #8 (take flight)

So here's the finished design I've been working on!



I find it hard to call it finished because it doesn't really look finished in my eyes. I can probably push the design some more, for example: adding more detail to the feathers so there's something more than just watercolor/ink washes, or just adding more linework in general. Also, some of the owl poses seem very unnatural, as if the owls posed in that position just for the sake of the design. I'm most likely going to redraw the entire design and make at least a couple of the owls look like they're just randomly flying around and not just posing, maybe even have one owl experiencing some turbulence while flying with the group; something to make the design more realistic. I'm also feeling that the design is lacking epic-ness, for lack of a better term. Also, it would be nice if I actually drew a feather to replace each and every brushstroke I used for the background of the design.
