Another image of Era, this time flying.
I'm sorta stuck in a Pokemon mood. Sorry to those of my watchers sick of Pokemon stuff :<
I think it came out pretty nicely.
Not sure why I wanted the background to be bamboo. Maybe because the music from Ecruteak City is stuck in my head... And said music reminds me of Okami? I really don't know.

CREDITS:
I used this image of a noctowl as a reference, but it should be evident I did not trace. I merely wanted to make my picture here close enough to the original to show how Era varied from the normal noctowl look :>
The pale bamboo in the background is from this wallpaper. I resized, lowered the opacity and applied a Photoshop filter.

Again, noctowl and Pokemon belong to Game Freak/Nintendo.
