This is the 2nd installment to the Guardians of Ga'Hoole illustrated series, if you are not familiar w/this series, this series is all about noble owls depicted like knights of Camelot, it's written by Kathryn Lasky, & the series is called Guardians of Ga'Hoole. Expect to see all of your favorite characters from the amazing young adult fantasy novel series following this swap. Please Note: it is not a requirement to know or read this series or stories, this swap is inspired by the series & a fun way to introduce illustrating different species of owls.

For this swap you are to create & design your own depiction of Gylfie (Species: Micrathene whitneyi, Elf Owl), other owls may be on your card but, Gylfie must be the main character, after all she is the leading protagonist's best friend in the beautifully spun tale. The style you choose to depict of Gylfie & the decision as to Gylfie's appearance is up to the artist (sender). Make something you would be proud to trade or matte & frame for your own wall, this is for 1 quality illustrated ATC, for 1 partner.

Newbies with well filled out profiles are welcome. Providing links to your work is encouraged for newbies & seasoned swappers. 4.9 or higher are welcome, no unexplained 3s or 1s, I will be checking profiles before the swap begins. I will angel if the need arises. I shall also be providing links to future Ga'hoole swaps under the description section of each Ga'hoole owl swap.

Thank you for your participation & I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have about this swap or this series.
