Into silence

"Knowing they would need more than a single conduit to convince the entirety of Gryphon kind. Leaders sending out their subjects to convince the legends of their lands, carrying marks of the Equine existence.

Stepping over ancient parts of nature, a deafening silence after each step, entering the lair of a great gryphon conduit. Bearing the head of an owl, which eyes glared into endless distance. Utter silence, yet its stare making it seem otherwise.
This legend is one of those who is needed, though, for the greatest silence can still be that which holds the loudest words."

Another instalment for my "First Contact War" MLP Universe!
Expanding on the Gryphon Conduits/Legends again, as the leaders seek for a greater word than any of their own, to guide Gryphon kind into times of survival.

Previous one being a Condor, this one however is a reference to the Eurasian Eagle Owls. Resembling another ancient living legend, one of silence.
Didn't work out or cleaned up as much detail as I did with "Gryphus Conduit" but then again, this didn't take nearly as long to make hehe.
I guess seeing how they can now compare to each other.

Stepped off from my usual 16:9 ratio, with the plan of cropping it differently when needed. Though I didn't end up doing a lot of that. (still a 16:9 version down below)
I felt like I worked inside the canvas size a lot rather than adjusting the size to the piece. (not necessarily a bad thing, but I want to keep that option open)

Anyhow, hope y'all enjoy.
I think I should do something for the Equine side next
