It could use bigger wings, but the creature itself looks amazing.

This is a very good rendition of the mythical "Gryphon" [link] ) < I think you'd do well in this.

shekeira [2007-02-06 00:03:25 +0000 UTC]

Definitely not your average gryphon. This one seems more gothic. I love the beak, the snakey feathering at its cheek, and the whip-y tail. I am reminded, strangely, of The Darkangel Trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce.

Cool pose, I like the bending in it.

ArtByLars [2007-02-05 21:13:27 +0000 UTC]

The beak seems a little strange. It wouldn't be able to use it to tear stuff up like birds of prey usually do.

That, and perhaps the already said issue of the small wings, is the only thing I find that isn't quite as good. And believe me, the rest is GOOD![link]
Thrilled

The wings look a little small and are at an angle that looks a little off.

RedKisses [2007-02-04 21:40:57 +0000 UTC]

i wish my quick ones looked like that T_T
i think that the wings look a bit too small to carry such a big creature, but the other stuff seems to fit. might be the angle of the whole thing, might not, i dunno

ArthurBCole [2007-02-04 19:46:23 +0000 UTC]

sweet piece, i like the positioning... is it drawn on paper and then colored or just pure photoshop?

how did you do the texture for the background?

*usesless info ahead in [brackets]

[i was just watching a show about how scientists think the greeks and roman got their ideas for their creatures of myth, and they said there was this specific dinosaur that had a beak and a bone structure that raise above its spine that made a flap like a stegosaurus and they thing they misinterpereted the bones as wings and came up with the gryphon]
