Description

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.

I wish I could "Like" this piece at least a hundred times!  I love everything about this picture: the colors, shading/lighting, and the ANATOMY!  I REALLY love the anatomy.  Other griffons usually get depicted with such skinny limbs and tiny feet!
Birds and big cats and wild canids usually have pretty big feet, ya know?  Beautiful piece.  Love this.  Heart Love
