Well, since its Monday...(Sunday for most of you.)
I thought I'd kick off OWL week.
So lets have some piccies and general good will to the man who makes sure the team gets back safely from every mission...

Hooray for our favorite Owlie pilot!

Or is he the only one who likes to wake up on Monday mornings?
I say Whoo Hoo for the OWL!
Most certainly a character that I'd want to have my back!

Here's a fierce fighting Owl that's roaming around on the net:
Grrrrrr!
That pic of the Owl was awesome.. and the other pics are great too!
I need to think on some of my favorite Owl episodes and moments. He's a great guy, even though Ken and Joe and Jinpei give him a hard time now and then.

I love this Springie, although I would agree with Amy ... the Owl's eyes are brown (at least in my AU they are.)
You know, you're right...one of the screenshots I had showed them as blue up close...and I can't find it! But in most of the shots, his eyes are little black dots! LOL
Easy fix...brown eyes comin' right up!

I guess I'm biased, but I like the blue better.

Ohhh, now the Owl can go under cover and not only change his disguise but his eye colour as well, Galactor will never guess.

Springie thats a great piccie of the OWL!!!!
I think he may have to be my next avatar.
Ooo, I know, when I can get a pic from TB then I can put myself beside this Owl, I may have to nudge him over a bit first though. 
For Owl Week, I did an Owl picture. I called it "A Steady Hand on the Tiller."
Originally posted by Springie In honor of Owl week...That is one sexy Owl. I love the confident expression and pose.

This is great LB.
I love the scene, beautiful stuff.
Must be a stiff breeze blowing considering he has the mainsail furled.

I think I am liking this Owl week.
I now have two new pics to add to my small collection of Owl pics.
Can I 
anyone else to draw an Owl pic, or convince one of you two to draw another.

Originally posted by clouddancer This is great LB. I love the scene, beautiful stuff. Must be a stiff breeze blowing considering he has the mainsail furled.In the photograph that I based this picture on, it was much windier. I wanted a more tranquil mood for the picture, and drew the water lessy choppy, Ryu's hair blown around less -but it didn't occur to me to change the sail! (shows how much I know about sailing...)
Don't worry, most people will not notice
I only know because I have been sailing, my dad used to take me as a child.
I also hear about all the stories my parents have from their adventures with their boat down in Grenada. 
I am now trying to see if this pic will fit in with the story I am/was writing about Tiny. The one I was seeing was much larger and had a wheel instead of a tiller.

Someone wrote a fic about Tiny being captured by the Spectrans and being held prisoner on an island. He attempts an escape by boat, and this pic reminds me a lot of that story, LB. I think you did a great job!
Was it Tengu or Crickett who wrote that fic...?

Thanks! When one's boyfriend goes off to Europe and leaves you behind, there's lots of time for things like Photoshop. The background is based on a photo I took at Lake Keuka in NY's Finger Lakes. The BF has a friend there, with a sailboat, and I based Ryu's boat on a photo of it.

That is some amazing owl art there, ladies! I think I am starting to see the owl in a whole new light.

"Does that mean I am starting to have some competition for my Owl?" She growls. Cloud then turns to look into the Owls face, gives him a wink and whispers, "You see, I told you it would work."
No, no, no cloud- I'm not ready to give over blue eyes for brown . . . but, i am definitely starting to see the attraction. Maybe I could just lust after him a little bit from afar? Or when he has some free time, like when you are out visiting friends in one of those smutty Eagle/Condor threads, maybe he and I could hang out? Get to know each other a little better? Mmmm . . . that sounds nice.

I am sure the Owl would enjoy being lusted after by a Swan .... well by any girl actually but especially a Swan.
No body really appreciates his talents until they need either his strength or his flying skills. 
Originally posted by clouddancer I am sure the Owl would enjoy being lusted after by a Swan .... well by any girl actually but especially a Swan. No body really appreciates his talents until they need either his strength or his flying skills.I was watching episode #70 of Gatch in Japanese w/English translation and when Jinpei runs to Ryu because he's scared Ryu says why are you all over me? If anyone was to be hanging on to me I'd rather it be Jun. Hmmm, competition for the Eagle and Condor? I wonder...
Well, maybe if Ryu had been standing closer to Jun, when she sees the dead ant in episode 10, he'd have gotten his wish!
(Secretly, though, I'm convinced that Jun isn't really that scared of large insects, and that it was a handy excuse to throw herself at Joe. 
)
)
lb - you have got that right. Any excuse will do to throw oneself at Condor Joe!

ITA... how could Jun be afraid of an ant like that?
Well, about a week ago, I was lifting one bale of straw off of another (I'm reseeding some sections of the lawn, and using straw as a cover) and suddenly there was this absolutely HUGE spider -I'm not normally freaked by spiders, but this one was practically Shelob! I am ashamed to admit that I shrieked like a total wuss, dropped the straw, and leaped backwards.
Where was Joe when I needed him?

Or more likely, Jinpei. He would have taken the spider home and kept it as a pet.

Then Jun would squashed it and it would have all ended in tears and carnage...
Oops! I almost missed Owl Week! Luckily it's Saturday (or at least where I am it's Saturday!), so I still have a day or so to pay homage to our favorite helmsman!
Springie and LB, great pics of the Owl from both of you! Springie, I love how you made him muscular rather than "hefty". I always thought that's how the Owl should look..
And LB, your boat pic was great! I love the detail of the waves in the water, the grass in the background, and the sail of the boat.
Woo-hoo! Go OWL!!!
