Commission for *botchiball! I actually finished this one a week or so ago while I was in Arizona visiting my dad, but I didn't have a scanner there, and when I got back to Colorado I forgot all about it! ><; Bad me. *slaps wrist*

This Griffon is a companion to a race called Avians. It is very intelligent and built a lot like a large heavy dog. Thi version of a Griffon cannot achieve true flight, but use their smaller wings and fan tail to glide. They have extra talons on each wing to help with climbing and manipulating objects when not in flight.

Had a ton of fun with the colour scheme of this one. Half dog half hawk colouring! Done with Markers, pencil (as in graphite) and a tad of acrylic paint.

This is super amazing! :wow:
:love: I love Griffons, I think you did a spectacular job portraying this marvelous creature!
I like how you approached it, seeing it as kind of a dog/hawk, the colors you chose too are believable & dazzling =)

I'm sorry but you may not. This was a commissioned piece for a character design, and I can't allow anyone else t use the design, as it's already in use! You should create your own character from scratch, it's more fun anyway! ^^

Best commission an artist to do it then, or perhaps see if you can find someone who takes requests?

hm...never heard of that before :P
sorry for asking so many questions-I am trying to train myself to draw. Originally I wanted to do computer coloring and such, but now I am leaning towards pencil shading and colored pencils
