I was looking at the end of the mag-7 thinking of what to do, when I pictured in my mind a bird face, with the extruded block featuring a beak, with eyes on the recessed sides. As the eye space could be filled I made the eyes larger -- leading to a large flat face essentially on a block - the closest animal that would fit to this build would be an owl. I continued to draw the linework to resemble an abstract owl with sweeping linework to add some flowing grace; the grip area correspondeding to outstretched legs with talons giving the impression that the owl was swooping on its prey. I then developed this carefully as some panels on the left repeat on the right, so I worked up either side independently. The Feather pattern was a way to get more colour and contrast into the design.

I've made two nocturnal colorschemes, one purple which is more abstract but to counterbalance I've muted the contrast; and a second option with dark blue and less abstract colouring.

I crudely painted a field mouse onto the magazine in the 3D app, and later made a couple of vector versions of this before settling on the less cartoony one - it really is hardly noticeable but is a nice little part of the idea.

Overall this one is simple, but let me know what you think below.
