| 14 Mar 2003 |  Emily E. Weichbrod |  Loading...This caught my eye because I work at a raptor rehabilitiona unit, and one of the resident birds is a Barn Owl named Athena! Good job on both the owl and the face  I bow to your admirable work! I'm in love with barn owls. We had a pair of them living nearby when I lived in Texas and I was lucky enough to see them a lot of the time.. thank you for commenting ^_^ | |

Cheers, i'm sure you'll see somemore comments!Thank you! I know..it's that whole collective consciousness thing  I really enjoyed your gallery, thanks for stopping by! | |

As for wisdom and war... Well there's always strategy, but that indeed would be the only thing wise about war.Heh Heh..took me long enough to reply. But like I said in the 'ol bio..I wasn't here =) Thanks for the comment.. I intended for the owl to be a little ghostly (.... yes, that's an artist's excuse for not wanting to draw feathers | |
| 3 Nov 2003 |  WonderGirl | Loading... Hey... Awesome pic, i was just wondering what the significance of Athena's eyes were since they are obviously emphasized both literally and pictorial... any thoughts?Well.. at the risk of being mundane..I used a photo reference and my real Athena had large, amazing eyes that just needed to be emphasized ^_^ | |
| 12 Dec 2003 |  Rae E. Hamburg | Loading... Hey, that's lovely! I've never seen an Athena with short hair before, but hers looks gorgeous. And even if you did use a photo-reference, you have a lovely way of showing the depth behind the image. She does look very wise.
I also like the way the owl sort of melds with her neck. *_* Wunnifle. | |
| 18 May 2004 | Midori | Loading... Love her eyes. Is the model Greek? (The on in the photo) She really looks like. | |
| 20 Mar 2006 | Anonymous | Loading... Wow that is really good i wish i could draw! | |
| 8 Jun 2008 |  Dragomir Cristian Madalin | Loading... its a really good drawing it has a very good detail and its very realistic, the expression in the eyes is very nicely drawn | |
| 17 Dec 2008 | Greensleevs | Loading... well, you draw a LOT better tha me, but no offense, she looks sort of like a boy...  Jess Owen replies: "She’s supposed to I picked the model because of her androgynous beauty. Besides, I think a lot of people are used to managa, where all the pretty boys look like women.. C’es ne pas? I think the view tends to get skewed about what women actually look like. " | |
