Rachel, these are RAD. I love the personality you put into these guys. Barn owls are some of my favorite animals and I love your drawings of the birds. Also, I don't care how lame the Guardians movie will be. It has owls fighting each other in battle armor. That's worth seeing.
@Court: Barn owls can be creepy in the right lighting, but I have a hard time seeing scariness in the others! Odd what different people get creeped out by.
@Claire: I haven't seen anything yet that makes me worry too much about the Guardians movie (except that the dialog looks like it'll be rather cheesy). I'm at peace with the plot tweaks I can see thus far, though I'll still be wary.
I think the only thing I'll require from it is that my favorite owl (Twilight) must be awesome. X)
@Chelsea: Thanks. c: I kinda really want a stuffed owl for my room after drawing all this stuff...
"I do not make pictures for children, at least not just for children. I won't play down to them. Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be twelve years old. They patronize; they treat children as inferiors. I won't do that. I'll temper a story, yes. But I won't play down, and I won't patronize them."
"I didn't treat my youngsters like frail flowers, and I think no parent should. Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature. Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. Most things are good, and they are the strongest things, but there are evil things, too, and you could do a child no favor by trying to shield it from reality. The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil, and that is what our pictures do."

Wow, these are SO gorgeous! Really great, solid drawings and they're so adorable. I wanna take em home with me forever.
Oh! I love the one in the rain! His expression is priceless! You never cease to amaze me with your incredible drawing skillz of an artist. :)
On a random side note, my sister is freaked out of owls for no apparent reason. Also Pheasants. Yeah, it's strange...
