This is the 9th 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 Martin (Aegolius acadicus, Northern Saw-whet Owl), other owls may be on your card but, Martin must be the main character. The style you choose to depict of owl & the decision as to owl'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.

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.
