#northern saw-whet owl

[tinylongwing]

For @aurorawest, a Northern Saw-Whet Owl. I just love the color patterns on the juveniles so that's what I went with here! And I went a little experimental with the cedar tips in the foreground but I kind of love the contrast they bring. Thanks for donating to the Waymakers challenge!

Time is running out to get your donations in and help support the rights of immigrant kids in the US! Ends Sept. 30. Donate to the challenge at https://runsignup.com/tinylongwing and I will draw you a bird, just let me know what species you want to see!

Did I just create 6 oc's? Uhhhh yeah I did.

I recently read all of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole books and of course it reignited my hyper-fixation from middle school. I know they look kinda copy-paste-y, but for the sake of simplicity I just sketched out a base that I used for all of them. (They're all owls, what do you want from me?) All 6 started out in my sketchbook.

Let me introduce you to Benter, Orion, Solan, Dymas, Maple, and Ansel! All 6 are up on my artfight (I've nearly quadrupled the number of characters I have there now lol) along with some lore!

(Psst. If you would like me to design an owl for you, message me! - I will likely only do three)

I can’t share any WIPs I’m working on atm but I can share this half-hour sketch I did of a northern saw-whet owl!

I found out about the existence of this little guy through a uquiz (link below) and immediately fell in love with it. IT IS SO SMALL AND ITS EYES LOOK LIKE DOLL EYES AND I AM OBSESSED WITH IT. I LOVE IT!!! IT LOOKS LIKE THE FLOOSHED EMOTE.

"To create her fantastic natural scenes she often acquired and actually lived with the animals or preserved specimens. She would spend dozens of hours sitting before the little bit of landscape which embraced those animals, scrutinizing every aspect, and then would patiently capture in her own unique style."

Battle Royale

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE (F-1)

These birds of prey don't really play nice with others, so we had to separate them out into their own battle.

Recap:

Spent time with friends and partner past two days, so cleaning was put on pause. But here's a northern saw-whet owl I got to see yesterday!! Look how SMOL SHE IS!!!

Same goals for today, day 5, sorry for the copy paste!

Goals:

Put away Halloween decorations 🎃

Start on the bathroom as the next clean out project! Bag up items we don't use, throw away trash

Motivation:

Seasonal shift!! Halloween vibes are movin out, time for soft and cozy and wintery. And idk but cleaning the bathroom has always been my favorite to clean so...I'll have fun with it.
