Father's day painting(Perhaps?)

[Sterling1113]

So with Father's Day coming up and me being perpetually broke, like always, I figured I'd paint something for my dad this year.
Whenever I visit he practically begs me to bring my paintings/pastel works back to the house, because they were on the walls there, and now they sit in the closet(until we move).

My dad likes mythical/fantasy/dragon/eerie/type things. I do too, but lately my creativeness levels have been fairly low, so I picked something that exists, but still looks pretty dang cool.

Red Bearded Vulture:


I'm not sure if that's what I want to give him though. It's on a small canvas, and it only took me about an hour. Compared to the things I took off the wall, it's rather wimpy honestly.

Any ideas? I'm awful at people/landscapes, but most animals I can manage pretty well. I(we) especially like things with wings, that look gnarly in general.

Comments, ideas, etc are all welcome and appreciated!

Edit: Yeah, I know it's only the head.. For some reason I figured just the head would end up better than if I tried to do the whole body.(Curse my short attention span..) Anything else I do will be bigger, and more in detail(hopefully!)

Homemade gifts are always a hit for fathers!

Hey I'm doing the same thing for my dad! I painted him his favorite place to visit, and old ghost town called Bodie in the Sierras! I took a painting course this quarter and it was so much fun! I really like your painting, your dad will love it! I hope my dad likes his!

Really nice I think he'd love it! Lintini's too!
