Fresh from the drawing table... Owlbear!

I have for you today another drawing that is fresh from the drawing table. This time around it is a Owlbear! "O" had several really good choices and it was a little hard to finally narrow down my selection. In the end I went with my first instinct and picked the crazy mixed up monster. I present to you my version of an Owlbear...

A while back there was an ArtOrder challenge to reinvent the Owlbear. At the time I was just to busy to participate and I was kicking myself ever since. I hoped for the chance to create my own Owlbear and it looks like I finally got the opportunity! The Owlbear was always thought of a creature possibly made by some wizard's experiment and I thought that could be pushed even further. Why did the wizard have to do a good job at making a new creature? Why could it not have gone horribly wrong while at the same time have created a creature that functioned and survived... in it's own way. HOOT RAWR!
