Artist's Comments

A little piece that Arch asked for, specifically.

Many times I worry so much about drawing gryphons the "right" way that I end up not drawing them at all. Finally, for this piece, I just pushed those thoughts aside and drew what was fun for me, in my own (admittedly inaccurate, I know) way.

Synnabar looks a lot smaller and fluffier than her usual!

AWW this is awesome. I love it :D
You say you CAN'T draw gryphons? Something wrong with that... because that gryphon is beautifully done!
It looks so cuddly and soft, and it would be awesome to see more of this from ya! :heart:
Great job!

THOUGHTS become WORDS... WORDS become ACTIONS... ACTIONS become CHARACTER... and CHARACTER is EVERYTHING.

Come, see my cat-fart... could be worse things to laugh at! [link]
Awwww, your griffons turn out fine, what are you so worried about? I think the image is just adorable.

Uh? I don't get it, why do you think your depictions of Gryphons are inaccurate? With fantasy creatures, artistic license is very important, and I find your interpretation very good. I love your Gryphons.
I totally agree with you; I think, because they ARE creatures of fantasy, that it's more interesting to see artists use artistic license and draw them in their own style. :)

Mostly I said that because some people are very picky about wings and wing attachment, beak structure, etc., or expect the avian part of a gryphon to resemble a specific bird... and mine don't. I think it's cool when people draw very "realistic" gryphs, but personally I prefer to do my "own" versions; it's more fun for me.

(and I love YOUR art!!!!)

Yeah, it's YOUR interpretation, but anyway, the way you've chose to draw them, may it be the one purists want to see or not (personally I don't care), I find the way you draw them very realistic. I mean: it's easy to imagine Arch'teryx living, walking, sitting in the grass or whatever his owner will imagine, from the way you've drawn that Gryphon. Anatomy, fur and feather patterns, faceexpression, movements: they all look natural, and that's something I really like in your drawing. So, more Gryphs, they're just awesome!

(And many thanks for the watch, much appreciated).
great piece !
