For owls that are superb.

If you find an injured owl:

Note your exact location so the owl can be released back where it came from. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist to get correct advice and immediate assistance.

Minimize stress for the owl. If you can catch it, toss a towel or sweater over it and get it in a cardboard box or pet carrier. It should have room to be comfortable but not so much it can panic and injure itself. If you can’t catch it, keep people and animals away until help can come.

Do not give food or water! If you feed them the wrong thing or give them water improperly, you can accidentally kill them. It can also cause problems if they require anesthesia once help arrives, complicating procedures and costing valuable time.

If it is a baby owl, and it looks safe and uninjured, leave it be. Time on the ground is part of their growing up. They can fly to some extent and climb trees. If animals or people are nearby, put it up on a branch so it’s safe. If it’s injured, follow the above advice.

For more detailed help, see the OwlPages Rescue page.

I have doubts about it's owliness. Show me that birds home!

It's a tree. A totally normal habitat for a piguuuuh owl. nothing to see here

[–] KokusnussRitter@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

hold up, was I too dense to clock that as a drawing request? xD

[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 15 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I want to see it. You have to show me (⁠◠⁠‿⁠・⁠)

[–] KokusnussRitter@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I initally wanted to color it in, but i have been working on this for checks 54 minutes already. So greyscale has to do xD

I hope this clears up any questions regarding owlyness. Also, they are very proud of their home and chuffed you dropped in!

Edit: posted the wrong picture oops

[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 10 points 4 days ago

Haha, double thumbs up for the realistic Deutsche Bahn screen :D

Maybe they can use the anti bird spikes that are usually up there to decorate it a bit more foresty. So no one will question their owliness again.

This is the very pinnacle of owl related shitposting. It's worthy of going on your resume!

[–] KokusnussRitter@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Jokes on you! I'll might work in Arts, so maybe it will!

O.O where did you get these metrics from? I might put that down x'DD

[–] PlantJam@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Like all good resumes, I made them up.

[–] moonshadow@slrpnk.net 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Personally I'd love to see an owl hootin and hollerin, if you were feeling really ambitious it could throw down at the hoedown

didn't expect to watch Hannah montana tonight, but here we are xD

Draw Stolas, this one:

But try to draw him in the style of the one from Helluva Boss, basically a mix of the two

I think it would be funny :3

[–] dsilverz@catodon.rocks 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm not the OP, but given their reply, given Stolas is part of my actual esoteric beliefs, and given I'm very used drawing owls (mostly for esoteric purposes such as in this suggestion), I'm taking the liberty of making such a drawing, full with the time-lapse video of me doing it (took me almost 3 hours, sped up 60x into a 3-minute time-lapse video). Hope y'all enjoy it, and feedback is always appreciated!

Some observations follow.

I don't really know Helluva Boss' Stolas, only the Ars Goetia one. While looking up for images on the former, I found several versions of him, so I ended sticking with a random one, in which he's facing the viewer. Only after I finished drawing, I realized the second pair of eyes, so they're missing from my art.

As the actual Stolas is a teacher of astronomy, I took the liberty to make a homage to Alexander Jamieson's "Celestial Atlas", which features the only owl-related constellation that ever existed, "Noctua", which ended up ditched as a constellation from newer constellation maps.

While the time-lapse video makes it look like I made the whole thing from scratch due to the lack of visible references, I was visually inspiring myself in real-time on both Ars Goetia Stolas art (the one you linked to), the Helluva Boss' one I found online, Stolas' sigil (first time I draw Stolas sigil, I was more accustomed with Lucifer's Sigil and Seal of Lilith, so TIL how to draw the Sigil of Stolas thanks to the making of this art) and Celestial Atlas Plate 27 (featuring the Noctua constellation mentioned earlier). I was drawing on my smartphone (Sketchbook app) while looking at the aforementioned references through my computer screen. This is part of why constellations aren't as accurate as I wanted them to be (I wasn't tracing over the references).

I'll leave as the viewer's homework the deep symbolism represented by the name at the top right corner (which I adopted as "the artist's signature" across my esoteric artworks). I purposefully portrayed Stolas as more androgynous than the canon because of this very specific and subtle detail.

If the time-lapse video doesn't work (prob. due to codec issues as I used ffmpeg directly from my smartphone to concatenate and speed up my screen recordings), please let me know.

!superbowl@lemmy.world

Sped-up time-lapse video of my artistic processes behind the drawing of Stolas. The final art featuring Stolas as a long-legged owl (with raven-like plumage, hence a chimæra) with a crown (as he's a prince) and regal clothes alongside the traits found on Helluva Boss' homologous character (pink heart-shaped face, pointy chin, large red eyes and voluminous dark hair). To his right side, the actual Sigil of Stolas, as seen in Ars Goetia. At the background, a dusk setting with cellestial constellation art centered on the nowadays-unrecognized constellation of Noctua.

Holy fuck, that's so fucking cool!!!!

[–] KokusnussRitter@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

While that is a fun idea, I have to kindly decline. Learning Helluva Boss' artstyle and (possibly) fully rendering this idea ventures into commission territory.

[–] Gyrcas@piefed.zip 2 points 4 days ago

Oh, I didn't mean the art style of Helluva Boss, I meant like a similar color style and some details of the character, like the red eyes, as a quick doodle.

If it is still too much I understand

A superb owl winning the superbowl

[–] KokusnussRitter@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

What's better than one superb owl winning the superbowl? Many superb owls winning the superbowl. i took inspiration from the latest posts in the animals I featured, and the communities icon, of course :)

Also - I have no concept of sizes of the animals depicted lül

[–] WaterWaiver@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

From a friend:

An Owl but it's a wearing nightvision goggles

EDIT: Awww too late.

[–] MxRemy@piefed.social 4 points 4 days ago

Draw Eda the Owl Lady (in owlbeast form), and/or, Olcadon from SoulCaliber 3

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 2 points 4 days ago

Draw an owl behaving like a cat.

Because Owls are sky cats

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How about a Band-Tailed ~~Pige~~Owl going Whu-hoo in the forest?

Wow, they do sound like owls! That's it. Pigeons are honorary owls. I rest my case. 😂

[–] derek@infosec.pub 1 points 4 days ago

I've seen the evidence of the bird's home and, while compelling, I remain unconvinced this is an owl.

Have you happened to observe the beast hunting, capturing prey, or eating? Presenting that evidence may clear things up for me.
