SciFi and Fantasy Art Cliffglider by Barbara (Cythtor Dreamchaser) Foster


	I’ve been told that there were too many dragons in my gallery, so lookie here! It’s a *gryphon!* And a rather irritated gryphon too, I might add. Cliffglider has both his hackles and his fur ruffled… I’m not too sure I’d want to be whoever has annoyed him so much! (The background is encaustic (wax) painting, also done by me.)Commissioned piece.

11 Apr 2006	Natalie Adams	Loading... this is a well-deserved Mod's Choice. he's so cool...if a little annoyed!
11 Apr 2006	Rachel 'Chell' Beaconsfield	Loading... Congrats on your MC! The wings are quite spectacular. Some of the best feather detail I’ve seen in the woods. Barbara (Cythtor Dreamchaser) Foster replies: "Whoa! That's high praise, considering how many intensely good pictures of gryphons there are out there! Thank you!"
12 Apr 2006	Kelly Travelstead-Dugery	Loading... Many well-deserved congrats on getting Mod's Choice for this guy. He's truly spectacular! Barbara (Cythtor Dreamchaser) Foster replies: "Smile Thanks, J'Karrah... and congratulations on your Mod's Choice, too!"
12 Apr 2006	Deb Stachowiecz	Loading... Love the change of pace with the background treatment, Barb! And your gryphon looks as awesome here as he did in the previews you sent! You deserve ALL the great recognition for this piece you're picking up! Congrats! Dragon Lady. You are as much a wonder as your beauties! Barbara (Cythtor Dreamchaser) Foster replies: "Grin Thank you, my friend! Yeah, he does look good on that background, doesn't he? But I think I'm going to go back to making dragons again. They've got a lot of details, but not quite as many as this critter has!"
12 Apr 2006	Anne Tyrrlin Bullwinkel	Loading... Lovely! The detail, especially on the feathers, is eye-catchingly beautiful. How long did this take? Barbara (Cythtor Dreamchaser) Foster replies: "Smile If you count all the pre-planning, 2 months. Otherwise, closer to 3 weeks (and one of those I had off from my regular job)! Stars, there are so many itty-bitty feathers on that gryphon...!"
16 May 2006	Ryath	Loading... Lovely! I'll keep out of his way thanks muchly.
21 Sep 2006	Amanda 'Dragon's Virus' Shea	Loading... Wow he's really something ^^ and he looks so much at home in the background! Barbara (Cythtor Dreamchaser) Foster replies: "Thank you! Yeah, he does look good in front of that background, doesn't he? Obviously I'm going to have to make some more backgrounds, since they've been greeted so favorably!"
9 Dec 2006	Collin Gross	Loading... Wow! I like the feathers. It would be awesome if you put a tutorial on your homepage on how to do these!
28 Mar 2008	Never Mind	Loading... Wow I really like this I’ve never see anything like this
28 Mar 2008	Katie Verdigris Smoke	Loading... Wha - you MADE this?????????????? I’m sorry, i can’t believe that. No way, no WAY does anyone below the level of minor GOD make anything that good! I think some one cheated.........
