Ta'al-Marida: Queen of the Owls

I worked on this off and on the last few nights while watching Season 5 of Fringe.

I first saw this species in a dream a few weeks ago. I didn't know much about the species other than the fact that they are a matriarchal society. I still don't have a name for the species.

When I posted my initial sketches from my dream in my scraps on FurAffinity, I was surprised at how much attention it got.
So... I decided to draw a sketch of their leader.

I'll release ore on this species sometime soon. Hopefully.
