Couple interpretations I've thought up for this pic:  This is a barn-owl-bird woman 1) stretching 2) dancing or 3) gender-role switched mating season plumage show.   I'm quite partial to the third idea, in that the inspiration for this pic came from watching that "Planet Earth" series on the Discovery Channel, which showed some really neat birds with really bizarre and colorful mating dances.  However, this picture is also just an extension of a doodle I did in Calculus class, so it could be mostly about stretching :)

 

I really wanted the initial drawing to show through, and I also wanted to try out a different approach to coloring (as opposed to, say, what I did with 'Pixie Guy") I think it worked out well, except that I am a little impatient when it comes to erasing so there is some areas where I have "colored outside the lines", but I'm ok with that.

 

Also, just to make it clear, I really don’t know anything about Barn Owls, and I just picked that style of face cuz, well, I really don’t know. It’s just how doodles happen sometimes.

this is great, looks like he's stretching. Great face (love the owl look). This is really unique.

What an unusual concept and visualisation - a balanced combination of bird and human, I particularly like the feather-fingers. 2
