SciFi and Fantasy Art: Dangerous Games

Here's a piece of sheer *expression* that came out of nowheres and demanded to be drawn. A rather cultured-looking gryphon discusses the feather he's holding -and the fate of it's owner- with just a little too much glee. It's not easy playing pride politics in a race of vicious flying carnivores, but he seems to be quite on top of it. This is the kind of character who has no redeeming qualities, is smooth but utterly arrogant, and who invariably gets killed in the end. Sometimes it's by the shadowy Ultimate Enemy they were serving, but more often by the heroes, like a sort of stepping stone for the Good Guys before they face off with The Big Boss... which is too bad, because I always *like* the suave, ruthless general-type guys. People don't seem to put as much imagination into their main heroes, and the head of the Army of Darkness is no fun - you've got to go to the sidekicks or evil subordinates for real personality. And that's my off-topic rant for this picture. Thank you, come again.

Oh this is niiiice! very nice!! I like the details. It's actually a very nice piece. The head looks very elegant as well.

Sandy says: Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto! (Sorry, just had to say it! Thank you very much.) ^_^

Yeah, I like this guy... I do think though that Ty could and would kick his butt. Not for any high and mighty reason though, but just because he looks so arrogantly smug. Ty has a short temper, and Sam uses it all up. Oh yes, and about Mortimer; it has occured to me that I kinda gotta think up his story before I write it up for you. Oh well, just think about him for now... don't you think he could use a theme song?

Sandy says: Of course! *sings to the tune of 'Mandy'* Oh Mooorteee, you are so-oo small and yum-eee...

Hmmmm, when you become supreme empress of the world can I be your general? To prove my worth I shall demonstrate the Xellos smile; ^_~. Heh.

Really though the bad guys are always more interesting because they don’t have to play by the rules, cause there bad and all that. Oh and sometimes the lords of darkness can be cool, check out Decon Frost from Blade, bright point in that movie. Okay, so I’ve said nothing about the picture, so as for my opinion on it, well, that is a secret!

[See, I could be an evil general type!]

^_~.

Sandy says: Sure! See folks, a prime example of the evil general being coolest: Xellos! Thanks, Kelly! For supporting my theory, you can be head general and vizier when (not if!) I rule the world. But no turning good and killing me in the end, 'kay? ^_^

How sad for such a Prideful feathered Griffawn to actually be a sterio type "cardboard cup out", no body bad guy. Especially to be one who is going to end up being NOT "important" in the end AS WELL as generally obsolete and over used!~
My God~
what a bore.
I think if he ever found out.. he would be totaly crushed~
*nods*

Sandy says: Oh, he would be. Though it's a lot better than being a stereotypical evil guard. The REAL boring nobody bad guy, they always get killed without even doing anything especially wrong. At least he gets to have personality.

He looks like a qu33r flicking his wrist. Is he an interior decorator by any chance?

I like him! Someone said he looked like me, too...is that good or bad I wonder. Anyhow, he's COOL!

I like him. And he is not an interior decorator, he's an evil snark.
