Artist's Comments

Blast from the past.

I used to draw dragons and griffons all the time as part of the mostly defunct 'Downloadable Dragons' site I started around 1997. I got severely sick of them and haven't been that into fantasy since junior high so... yeah. This is the first griffon I've drawn in *thinks* 5 years? Mine're what I call a songbird griffon, and is more the size of a housecat. Just felt like it today... so I drew it.

Ignore the background. I was pretending like I was gonna do one, but I killed myself with the griffon itself and that was that. No idea what made me think doing it black and fully detailed was gonna be a good idea. It really wasn't.

Bic .7mm mechanical pencil on printer paper.

It's very lovely Amber, I love the playful/serene look in it's eyes n_n Kinda looks wise beyond it's years (but I guess Griffons are kinda like that anyways n_n)

Your textures and just.. your pencils in general are as stunning as ever. n_n I really like the way you did the ears. :D

Ooo. housecat sized... I must find me one of those ^_~ hehe, make a sweet pet XD *grins*

This is truly beautiful work, especially with the tiny feather details. I really like the idea of a songbird griffin.. really fits the peice. :)

Dig the feathers.
:iconcarcadann:
Mmm! Nice! I especially like the face. It reminds me of Gizmo or some Jim Henson Shop creation.

Waow...wonderful detailing, and the feathers are beautiful. *snugs the picture*
However the right wing looks a bit off, for some reason.

But gosh...I want to eat the details. xD

the feathers look really good. i guess we all get a little crazy sometimes and think we want to do a mad amount of detail. then you get halfway through the pic and wonder what in the world you were thinking. but it's an awesome feeling after you've finished the piece.
