Barn Owl

Hi everyone,

Started to create an owl by following the CGCookie “Piero” series. This is what I’ve got to so far, I’d like to hear opinions on ways to make it more realistic. The face was really hard (for me) to sculpt but it still has a problem, I just don’t know what it is. Anyway, if you have any tips, critiques, comments or anything else please feel free to post.

PS. Sorry for links, I had trouble posting images straight from pasteall.org.

I’m glad to see someone following this tutorial series, I was going to have a look when I had a spare 100 hours or so. It will be interesting to see this progress. Good luck!

He’s looking good to me

I have just finished retopologizing the whole thing, I will post images first thing in the morning.

Thank you MonkMonk for your comment.

I love owls, looking forward to seeing how this all comes together. One time I lucked out when doing some wildlife photography/video and I stumbled upon an owl who must have been really tired, because he allowed me to get within about 5 feet of him. It’s kind of funny because at the end of the video, the owl fell asleep on me :)… here is a link owl footage
