SciFi and Fantasy Art: Collar Songgryphons On Banyan Tree

August 2004 - Oil paint - 30cm x 30cm

This is the first songgryphon picture I did with such vibrant colours. I like it very much. And I began another colourful one right away. This time the songgryphons shall be even more exotic. The progress is visible on my homepage, if you're curious. ^.^
Btw. Can anyone see the bird species that inspired these 'collar songgryphons'? ;-)

This motive is available at Ellen Million Graphics.

I like her frogs very much, too. "

So pretty, these delicate little creatures of yours. ^^ Not that I am qualified to say so, but it seems to me that your skills have improved significantly since I last visited your gallery.

I was occupied with my diploma thesis for the last months.
