Since I'm sort of "on vacation", I'm actually having a chance to use some of my own products for fun... Here's a piece using the Barking Owl or as the Australians called it the “Goora-a-Gang." A screaming call, similiar to that of the barking owl, is described by Aboriginal folklore as the ‘Bunyip’ ( "devil" or "evil spirit"). The Bunyip is said to be a fearsome creature that inhabited swamps, rivers and billabongs and feeds on the flesh of women at night. There is debate over whether the call of the barking owl actually started the Bunyip story, but the owl is the most likely explanation since it is nocturnal and found in the regions where the Bunvip was said to dwell. Aborigines debate this explanation saying that the Barking Owl has learned to mimic the screams of the Bunyip. Rendered in Poser 2014 without Postwork.
