SciFi and Fantasy Art: Crayder

This is Crayder's gryphon form, drawn at a general request made in the Gryphon Guild forums. He is a roc/panther gryphon, and is -very- big. (0 o) I tried to draw him with a regal pose and muscular build, but I don't quite think it turned out as well as I wanted it. The hind limbs are weird. And shading black things is hard.

16 Feb 2002	Krista Miller	Loading... This is my first comment, but wow! I love him! He looks really dominant. The spiney feathers on his head really look great. I sorta agree with you about the hind legs but i wouldn't worry about it. Keep up the good work ^.^
27 Jul 2002	NightOwl <elraver@yah...com>	Loading... I love the hind legs. It is unintentional, but it gives the look of an egyptian Sphinx-like creature. Very powerful, very wise, and quite aloof. Well done.
31 Jul 2002	Ali Jafri	Loading... The anatomy's really nice. I think the head should be a bit bigger, but it's a very good pic. The claws rule
2 Feb 2003	Christine (Supermoo) Hwee	Loading... The trick is to shading black furred things is to make them glossy, unless you're going for the raggedy look, then just make it look matted. I learned that from an hour of staring at my cousins black dog 0_o I'm not so sure about the feathers though, I guess you can colour them individually or make them a feather pattern, start colouring and hope for the best.
1 May 2004	Kali	Loading... I think you've done a wonderful job on this picture so don't doubt yourself! It's amazing how you can capture the exact expression you needed to give him that regal aura you was after! Well done!

20 Feb 2007	Eva Salman	Loading... I especially like the anatomy of this one. Really well done, I think. The colours are great and the whole beast is just wonderful. Keep up the great work (I really like it!)
