DinoFlorist (Jul 17, 2004)

I started with the eyes on top and then I was going to make it an eagle, but then I got bored of that so I decided to make a man underneath wearing the eagle as a hat. I figured that had some sort of historical reference to Mayans, Inca, or Aztecs (but I don't know which), but then I decided I didn't feel like that either. So, I outfitted him with traditional Robin Hood attire, and gave him a caucasion complexion. Then for fun I added extra horns. Thats what makes it look like a hippogryph hat.

I like that hat...looks like it's still alive up there, on his head. Great description of how it came to be...just as entertaining as the picture itself.

Great picture and I loved reading how it came about almost as much as the picture itself. :)

This looks like an illustration from a novel about vikings. This is completely different in style than your others. I like this .

this is a great colorful rendition of a caucasian wearing a eagle hat..but is his spear tucked behind his ear?

actually its going through his head, killing him instantly. I just have problems drawing things with any sort of perspective or logical relation.
