SciFi and Fantasy Art: A griffon

12-18-02...I thought i would try out another mythological creature. I found an old scrap piece of paper. --My resources here are low. My latest drawing are done on the backs of old drawings. I decided to color it in. So maybe he does look like a chicken.

Totire replies: "Thank you for your comment....BUT --After I checked out YOUR gallery I KNOW for a fact that you can turn out much better stuff than I have. ~Mutters in a jealousy fit!!~...Your work is stunning and you are a very talented and well cultured.....So after I loaded this one up I see lots of flaws and should take him down. It seems scanned on an angle, gravity doesn't seem right either. ~Bannishes me to starving artist hell for eternity!!~"
18 Mar 2003	Heather A. Wright	Loading... Ohhhhhhh! I love the feel of this pic. It reminds me of the old-fashioned illustrations you'd find in old books and bestiaries. Kinda Victorian-y, only with more attention to detail and better proportions. The color job is awesome.
8 Sep 2003	Joelle Duran	Loading... I think you did a great job on the forefeet. And the twist of the head is very avian. It would look super portrayed as a manuscript illumination.
12 Jan 2004	Judit 'Original' Smits	Loading... He is wonderfull! And how detailed! It must have taken you ages!
24 Jun 2004	Carrie 'Tiger's Eye' Johnson	Loading... I'm jealous, because the gryphons I draw are nowhere near this great. Wonderful drawing! Audrey S. Totire replies: "Now don't be jealous!---I had a discussion with someone once about how this thing looked like a chicken!--Thanks!"
11 Oct 2004	Jessica L. Stachyra	Loading... Nice details on the feathers and the forefeet! And great coloring, your griffon is fantastic!
30 May 2006	Barbara J. Wickham	Loading... Like some other folks have noted your griffy has a very classical feel to it. I like how you also gave him a more casual, natural pose like he was sketched while in his native environment. What would be great is if you can later add notes and other sketches in the margins like this is a page out of an explorer's journal.
