Eagle Hunter hunter

So its been a busy few weeks resulting in a lack of attention paid to this blog. However as things have settled down I've taken the liberty of a bit of downtime and begun creating some more pictures.

First off is the second part of my Eagle Hunters image that i posted back in April. It depicts Asher Svidensky, the photographer responsible for the inspiration behind these images, shooting the pint sized hunter. With a camera.

And below I've seamlessly joined the two images. Except for the seam.

Where the eagles soar

I've always enjoyed reading about the small pockets of civilization that continue to live with their culture relatively unchanged for hundreds, if not thousands of years, so I was fascinated  by a story on the BBC about a Kazakh girl who is training to hunt with a golden eagle amongst the Altai mountain range in western Mongolia.

The article and the accompanying photographs by Asher Svidensky were the inspiration for this illustration.

Now I want a Golden Eagle. Even more.
