I love these babs

I think the babies are great, just adorably, ridiculously fluffy (as many baby birds are) cuties. And the male looks really nice and regal.
I'd say the female could use a few changes though,
1. moving the tail down a bit so it's not right next to her face,
2. giving her face a little more definition and dimension, and
3. her left fore foot looks kinda stiff, I think it would look more realistic if it was more relaxed, with the 'hand' being more closed and the claws curving downward.

they look good but

the babies are have too long of fluffy hair to me

the adults faces are flat i know its suppose to but i would love to see it a little less flat

and the body on the adults is kinda off for me i like the posing but i think it should be a little more intimating and scary they are really cute for a scary predator

other then that

i love the big eyes for the young

the wings look great

and the posing is perfect

They look amazing! Way to go Krinadon! (and helpers, if any)

I agree about the female's tail.
I do think the baby boy is sooo amazing!

A+++ much better! The males tail, feathers, and wings look much better too!!

I like them for the most part. The only thing I would change is, I don't like how fluffy the faces look. I think they look better with sleeker heads/faces.

I don't know why but it looks like their faces as adults look like pasted on masks. It may just be that my mind is unable to supply shading and or color to help with that. Otherwise, I think they look good.

These are beautiful! None the less, I still have a couple suggestions: there is too much sclera in the eyes, owls and other birds of prey have huge irises that take up most of the space. And maybe make the eyes squintier? You could tilt the male's chin downwards a bit to suggest more neck curve and give him a prouder stance, haunty like all owls are.

Also, I really miss the heart shaped barn owl face, this one is nice too, but I miss the heart shape xD
As well as the fluffy hind feet, I miss those too. I don't like the feathered ones as much, maybe as a mutation.

So I made a thing, it was from the old sketches and I mostly moved limbs around until I was happy with it (I am happy with the tail as it is in the new sketch, don't feel pressured by my trail positioning)


I know that the symmetry of the wings curving up looks SO COOL, but I sacrificed it in order to move the front leg. It shows off the chest and gives the tail space to be flashy. I also made the neck longer and tilted the head down. This is, of course, only what I think looks best for positioning. I'm sure a lot of people will disagree or come up with something better.
