Swooping Owl sculpture

Hello and good morning all,
Today I'd like to share one of my favorite things to carve. A flying owl..

It didn't start out pretty, but then again, none of them do until they do..

Here it is blocked out with bulk wings attached. I attach them bulky for strength and stability.

Started honing in here, getting closer.

One of the wings broke off so I had to replace it..good thing wood is forgiving.

Hit it with the airbrush for some shadowing, and varnish.

Lastly, a splash of white with a dry brush to finish off.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I saw, I love what I do and I'm happy to share here on Peakd. Please do stay tuned as I have much more to share on this awesome platform. Thanks for looking.
Jon

Hey what’s up stranger?! Good to see you’re still around and making dope sculptures!

Gotta love a carved owl like that, looks really good with the burned/weather style.

Thank you, yeah a few of my friends were in it. Was based in Canada, called "A Cut Above"
I would have passed on doing it though, they had a requirement I didn't agree with
