This was my second large poster for Champion's Bowling Company. This was a fun piece to do. Initially I wanted to have it swooping down and only one foot touching the ball. Also wanted to have some scratches on the ball from the talons, but the creative direction wanted more of a traditional "Studio Shot" I looked at some old poster of bowling balls and they would use photos of stuffed animals from a taxidermist. Looked very odd to me. These illustrated posters were a great success for them, but I think the company is no longer around. My memory of this is that even with a face mask on, I was blowing my nose and having blue come out a day later. There was a cloud of blue of over the whole studio while I was airbrushing in the sky. The armor on the hawk was inspired by Hajime Sorayama's Robot/Cyborg ladies. I was huge admirer of his technique when first starting to use the airbrush.
