Whoa - almost went a day without posting a new image! I'm slipping in my old age.
Truth be told, this isn't really all that new of an image. I did something similar to this image as a commission when I attended the Wizard Word: Chicago convention last summer (with comic book rockstar Dustin Nguyen). Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take a snap shot of the image before I handed it off to the person who commissioned it from me. However, this time around, I actually managed to do a decent job of drawing the bird right. Sort of.
The problem was when I drew the first version I really *did* think I could draw a giant eagle. Then it came time to actually draw the thing and it became embarrassingly obvious I had no business drawing that animal. Not to say I have any more right to do so now than I did then, but at least this time it actually looks like an eagle (sort of) and not some lame buzzard from the old-school Warner Bros. cartoon. Man, I feel terrible for the guy who I sold that lame duck to. Haha! Get it? Eagle? Bird? Lame duck! Haha! I also feel terrible for saying that obviously lame pun. Enjoy.

The eagle came out great, even better than the girl, and that's saying a lot as I love your women.
hey eric what do you ink with by the way and what does your work space look like?
Dont be so hard on yourself, that's a tough angle to draw the head of an eagle from, and it came out pretty well.
