Owltober Day 4: Nightmare

I honestly can’t remember the last time I drew a hagsfiend (middle school maybe??)

Found this while looking at patches on Etsy and it screamed Guardians of Ga’hoole. Here’s a link to the artist’s page if anyone wants to check them out

Owltober day 2: Dress-up games

Owltober, Day 1

Here’s a little pumpkin owl to start the season off right!

I don’t have any prompts or anything for this, but I could probably whip one up if people would be interested

P.S. I haven’t forgotten about the comic project I promised about a month back, it hasn’t happened yet but it will eventually!

Haven’t drawn a Coryn in a while

The markings on his back are based off some stuff from the GoG art book, I kind of took creative liberties with them lol

[behold-the-guardians]

Hey guys, so I have a really cool project idea I’ve been floating for a while, but I’d like your feedback before I actually commit to it. 

If you could have any particular scene (or possibly chapter) from the GoG series as a comic, which would you most like to see?

I’ve been wanting to do a longer-term comic forever, but thus far my adhd has forbidden me from working on something for more than a few weeks without losing interest.... but I think making this community a part of it could really change that for me. It would probably take most of the semester, but posting wip’s and bits of it over time could be fun! (and of course I would still post other content as well)

Let me know what you think, and what scenes/chapters you’d like to see if I actually end up doing this!

Owl studies from youtube videos, to get back into the swing of things :) It’s been a loooong time since I’ve drawn any owls let alone this many lol

[behold-the-guardians]

Hey, would someone mind giving me a list of all the different chaws/attributes associated with each? I’m working on a little something but all my books are Currently Elsewhere

Signal boosting a cool thing

@gruntsmom is doing a super cool GoG RP about Corvids forming their own society and taking arms against owls. It looks super neat and you should all go check it out!

What is your most and least favorite GoG book and why?

I’ll start: My favorite is probably The First Collier, because I have such good memories associated with it, and my least is The Exile, because the band being banished from the tree gave me so much anxiety the first time I read it

I am also not a fan of The Outcast, mostly because it’s taken me a solid 7 months to get through it, and also because my house ate my copy and I can’t find it 🙃

[behold-the-guardians]

So it has recently come to my attention that the GoG art book is no longer available online... but luckily it turns out some brave soul uploaded every single page online:

I’ll probably still upload pages from it here from time to time (plus there’s always the chance of that photobucket page getting taken down...but hopefully it’ll stay up!)

Beyond the Beyond, in the style of vintage national park posters! (which are super cool btw, you should go check them out)

Picked up this sweet barn owl ornament at a state park I visited this weekend- thought you guys might appreciate it!

Hello owl friends!! So after a very long time of working through some life stuff and trying to figure out a healthier creative schedule, I’ve decided to start posting on this blog again- but rather than every single day, I’m going to try to post every monday and friday instead. 

I apologize for the incredibly long hiatus- as I mentioned in a previous post a few weeks back, early this year I started on a supplement to help my adhd which significantly reduced my creative compulsions (which sounds bad now that I write it out, but it’s such a nice feeling only working on 5 projects at a time instead of 100). 

So the next question is, what would you guys like to see next? (it’s been a long time since I’ve posted on here, so any suggestions on how I should start up again are greatly appreciated!)

[behold-the-guardians]

You can answer this privately, but i was wondering what the plans are for the blog currently? I know you're a uni student so you're busy but are there any plans of drawing stuff in the future? I love your blog i'd hate to see the like, one active ga'hoole blog go away

Hi there! Currently I’m not sure- I’m hoping to start it up again this summer since I’ll have a lot more free time. I recently made some big changes in my creative life- I started taking medication to help my adhd, which means I don’t feel the compulsion to work on 80 different art projects at the same time anymore... but I’m working on bringing things back slowly! (and that will hopefully include this blog!) Thanks for asking!
