Prize commission for ~HoneyandChai, who requested a painting of a barn owl.

The barn owl (Tyto alba) is sometimes referred to as the "ghost owl" or "demon owl" due to its eerie appearance and vocalizations. Personally, I think they're gorgeous but I'll admit that I find their calls a little creepy. You can listen and decide for yourself here. Also, I took some liberties with the pattern of its speckles here. They're not accurate for this species.

This is beautiful. It looks so realistic, I wish I could just snatch it out of the air out of love. How do you make these arts?

Thank you very much. I'm glad to hear you think so. As for how I make paintings like this, I haven't made a feather tutorial yet. But it's on my list of things to do.

Also, the watch is much appreciated. :)
