Before the Battle

Here is a prime example of the result of one of my "sudden falcon splurges." I'll draw anime, anime, anime...and all of a sudden, something snaps in my head and in an instant, I'm fervently drawing falcons.

I put a lot more detail into this than I've ever put into anything ever before. Also, the reason it may look a bit fuzzy is because I couldn't scan it because of it's size (11" X 14"), so I had to take a picture of it to be able to post it.

I think it is my mission in life to draw the perfect falcon - not just conformationally correct, but also embodying the spirit of the bird.

I feel here, I've gotten close...very close.
