"Hawk Circle"

July 2024

~Will Ackerman, Hawk Circle

I had only ever heard the instrumental version of Will Ackerman's "Hawk Circle" until the version from his album "The Sound of Wind-Driven Rain" came up in a playlist, and I was floored when the vocalist and harmonies kicked in. It added so much emotion to an already gorgeous song.

Then, one of the characters from the mobile game Hogwarts Mystery peeked in and wanted to sit in for a drawing. Talbott Winger is an eagle animagus, and (despite the difference in bird) I immediately pictured this scene in my head, with the shadow of the wings spread over him. When I finally sat down to draw it, I finished it in almost a single sitting.

Be sure to listen to the song while you're at it!
