So the other day I didn't know what to draw so ~Sweet-Valentines said I should draw a horned owl. As soon as I finished the sketch, I remembered I had two great horned owl OCs. So, I decided to make it look like my OC, Mae. If you read the old A Life's Story, you would know her. ^^ So here she is, and I actually love how it came out. Like how the colors blend and how the anatomy. The only part I'm not overly excited about is that talons. At least it's better than the talons I've drawn in the past.

Also when I started, I thought I should practice drawing owls in flight because I draw them perched too often. So when I had the wings out, the only thing i could think of was captioning this "COME AT ME, BRO!" So I was laughing. The power went off for an hour so I had time to look for flaws, and I found quite a lot and I fixed them.
