The Wrath of Metal Beak

Published:

Description

In celebration of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole movie being released today, I decided to draw Metal Beak (trying not to give spoilers here) for the first time in forever. In fact, this is the first owl I've drawn in forever. I think I've still got it. ;)

WARNING! NOW COMES THE SPOILERS (For those who haven't read any of the books but plan to, or at least haven't reached Book Three yet)

We're going to go see the movie tomorrow, but after checking IMDB and watching the trailers, I'm beginning to become concerned. Skench and Spoorn aren't even listed in the cast, and it looks to me like they're completely cutting St. Aggie's and instead Soren and Gylfie are going to be captured by the Pure Ones, along with Grimble. Also, Metal Beak and Kludd have two different actors. Kludd IS Metal Beak. Kludd had better become Metal Beak, or so help me Glaux... (haha, I haven't used Glaux in conversation in years) It looks to me in the trailers like they're portraying Digger as being rather crazy. Digger is the least crazy of all of them - he's the deep-thinker, the philosopher. And Twilight has the voice of some English gentleman. WTF? The BIGGEST WTF is the random echidna that tells them how to get to Ga'Hoole. I would really like to know what drugs the screenplay writers were on when they decided there needed to be an echidna in the movie, when the animal was never even vaguely mentioned in all 18 of the books. (16 of the actual series, 2 side story and reference books)

On the upside, Ezylryb looks pretty good, Grimble looks pretty good, and Nyra looks awesome (despite that she isn't introduced until the 4th book; the movie covers books 1-3).

Okay, I'm done.

Drawing done in Sharpie pen, lineart in pencil. I didn't keep track of the time. Wings and markings referenced from the covers of book 2 (The Journey), book 3 (The Rescue), and book 4 (The Siege).

Is it really possible for Barn Owls to make their talons twist like that?
