Creature Card #21 Gouache Edition

Final bid 1343 credits. This card will be staying in Oregon.

I choose to leave the eye open for the outline today. I will probably color most of the center in with black but I wanted to leave it open for other peoples interpretation. I was just replying to a comment on yesterday's card and thought of how nice it will be to make these into a coloring book. I will get to see a lot of different color options come to life. These could really be so many different things. It helps make the extra work in this process more fulfilling. Hm... my brain is starting to crank. I could take one card and make a series of different ways to color it.

Anywho, I had trouble with this creature. i'm not exactly sure what it is and with the epic crop it's even harder to tell. I was thinking owl like for a while but it has either two beaks or pincers now. I think color will benefit this card and I'm thinking of giving it a lot of feathery texture. This card is also interesting the other way around but I felt this direction was a stronger image.
