Julius-Ezra Ver 1

ACEN, 2012.

Julius-Ezra Bubo, the friendly mail courier horned owl harpy.... thing.
He's an original character of mine.

We were in a hurry, so I didn't get to really put these on correctly (also hence why the background is a parking garage o_O).

There were supposed to be suspenders, an optional tie (I was iffy on it from the start), elbow-length fingerless gloves (served to both cushion and hide my hands) and a different pair of shoes (would have had to dig them out of a suitcase I was packing in a hurry o_O).

Also, yes, I know, the arm covers are terrible. They're garbage.... but thats kinda what happens when you've been fixing a wing from 6pm (after coming home from 8-5 work) to 2am, and then fighting with said arm covers to get them right (I dunno... by 3am it was beyond my comprehension on how to do them o_O).

I'm going to rip the arm covers off and use the material I've been wanting to use since the beginning (a faux fur thats kind of feathery-like).

I'm also going to be adding a tail, that works similar to the wings primaries (it's like a folding fan concept), to complete his design.
Also to add, a clip that goes on the goggles with some short brown feathers - a representation of the great horned owl's feather tufts... as Julius is loosely based on a brown GHOwl (depending on the region that they inhabit (north or south), they are either on the grey side, or the brown side, with varying degrees in between).
