SciFi and Fantasy Art: MAJESTIC TRALFY

This is Tralfaz. He is a shandialpha type aquilleon. His scientific name is 'Pantheraquilas leo-mirificus'. He was the very first of Dr. Alaricus Shandaran's marvelous gryphons. He is about the size of a collie and can fly rather well. He can soar better than the pantheravens, but, is too large for a comfortable lap pet. He is very intelligent and some what gifted. This new portrait was inspired by an E-Mail friend who sent me a quick sketch of Tralfy based on the lousy digi-cam picture formerly posted in this slot. I used my oil pencils and kept the work focused only on Tralfaz. I attempted to incorporate some shading. This is on 8 1/2 in. by 11 in computer paper.

Aha! So this is what you look like? You're a really unique looking gryph, Tralfy. I mean that in the best way. You look very regal and powerful in this portrait. I'm glad you're a good guy. Those talons look really deadly, and your beak looks like you could bite through tritainium armor. I pity any monster that makes the mistake of attacking you! Happy soaring.

at least, it is time to comment this picture, isn't it? I love how it came out and it is so much more better then the scetch I did! I am very proud that the scetch was the reason you did this wonderful Tralfy portrait - especially because this is the picture you are realy able to see how he is looking like.

Oh My Gawd! I've never seen such a wonderful and different , yet, strikingly beautiful gryphie! WOW! How did you come up with him?! He looks so real! *Hugs Tralfy really big, burying face in his plumage-hopes he doesn't mind the affection*

Not exactly a meaningful comment, but... I love the face! You've captured the expression so well! I can hardly peel my eyes away long enough to type this!

I spent five whole minutes just staring at this magnificent griffin! The title says it all and is perfectly matched to the drawing. He looks so regal and noble and powerful. He looks like he could take on Inuyasha and beat the stuffings out of the Dog Demon! The dogtag is a bit distracting but it also softens his persona by reminding the viewer that he's domesticated and tame. I love the look of Trafy!

Hi *waves* did you see that Aryana chose this pic fo our gryphon and phoenix tour??? I know that Tralfy doesn't belong to out universe, but after all the imaginary "meetings" and the short story I did, it kind of fits! And the picture itself is still that woth to be in a tour!!!

I always loved Tralfy. He was my very most favorite character! This gorgeous drawing now hangs in the Smithsonian! Even Disney gives you a special acknowledgement for those Tail Feathers! One of their "Imagineers" got it from you!!!..You’ll see. Just hang in there, dude! It all works out just fine!..I’m for real!...But, I can’t prove it...for reasons you will someday well understand....
