SciFi and Fantasy Art: Calypte

(uploaded 03/~/01) Another member of the Gryphon's Guild. Calypte is the first image I've colored using my new graphics pad and Adobe Photoshop LE. I was kind of stumped for a background on this one, but I think the sand came out fairly well.

yes, you did the sand very nicely but for some reason, it reminds me more of a harpy than a gryphon when it's in this background (maybe ffV trama....heehee) I personaly think a jungle background would be nice since he(she?)it tiger based but that could be complicated to do and i dont know what you are trying to portray for a personality or history. But just anything with green would probably work out very nicely (i just can't seem to imagine this gryphon in a desert...sorry! it's probably just me being weird again!) but i really like the gryphon overall, great definition!

heey! Awesome colouring job! I can't wait till I have enough money for a tablette -_- I might have a go at drawing gryphons again sometime.. I used to loads... they're never as good as yours though 2Thank you. This is my third tablet, actually, and by far the best one I've owned.

Like the picture, but the head looks awfully cartoony, which contrasts with the rest of the body. And the wings don't look quite right - I think maybe they should be coming out further back, as opposed to so close to the neck? I'm no expert, tho. 12 I like the colouring (except on the beak..it looks sort of strange. Sorry.) But overall I think it's okay.

I agree with the last comment...the wings don't appear to be placed quite right - but they are still my favorite part of this picture! The texture and detail given to them somewhat over-runs the rest of the artwork... 2
