A twist on the traditional eagle/lion gryphon - this one's a Great Crested Grebe/Jaguarundi cross, with a lion's tail (cos I like the tassle).
There are some flaws in this piece, but overall I quite like it. Done with coloured pencils and ink on calligraphy paper (my new favourite), and manipulated in Photoshop.

this is simply astounding! I love the original gryphon idea, being a bit of a bird brain myself=) Great pencil work as well, beautifully rendered.

Whoa, stunning! I love the way you've kept the outline simple but it's still so elegant. I love the wings too, and the soft colours.

I always thought crested grebes would make good phoenixes, myself. Well... aside from being water birds...

I think I'll shut up now.

Very neat and creative, I like how the backround is simple enough so that there still is one but not too distracting from the gryphon itself.
