Very nice. I think he needs a pupil in his eye tho.

Hehe, this one looks kinda silly. Like the wings went out before the bird knew, and all that drag is just catching up with 'em.

What I am trying to convey is, I think an anthropomorphic eagle might not be all that graceful when landing. The body masses are just too widely dispersed. :)

Well now I'm not so sure that the masses would be so widely dispersed. I'm gonna get a bit nerdy here, but the majority of the mass is at the core, underneath and behind (in flight path) of the wings. Sure the extremities aren't in perfect streamline, but they don't induce too much drag (feathers help that a tad, creating less turbulence behind, laminar flow effect). Overall I'd say landing would best be performed by executing a flare into a stall (basically increasing wing angle of attack until it produces no lift) and ensure 0 ground speed just above landing point, and then dropping down a few feet. Birds do this, like seagulls and larger birds of prey. /Nerd

Bird Nerd! :)

I'm glad to see you drawing eagles again.

Never seen such an active pose for an anthro eagle, or any bird for that matter. Kudos

Whoa, well done. Like he's going to pounce on dinner :)
