Strix WiP 1

For my portfolio class, I'm going to do some work aimed at White Wolf and then some for Wizards of the Coast because I don't do enough fantasy.

I decided to go with preexisting monsters since my professor is the sort to want accompanying text.  I chose a strix from Night Horrors: The Wicked Dead from WW.  It's a smoky owl that can possess bodies.

I will probably reshoot the reference for the victim since this doesn't have the best cropping and I'd really like the hand clenching the blanket.  I'm really happy with the strix so far though. I'll add glowing eyes and more smoke later.  Not sure about the background either.  The white boosts the smoke so well.
