This piece I did for Santharia, it's gouache on black mounting board. I love it when there's extra supplies lying around... (finally got frustrated, changed the name...)

Hippogryph is a half horse half bird. This is a hippocampus. Nice piccy though ^^

Hypocampus all the way. There are roots in there, but I think its greek... anyways, gryph is like gryphon, that's how I remember it. Very nice mer-horse, though. Love it. Yes, spare art supplies are the best. Inspired half me best pieces!

:-) Kelli doyle replies: "Yah, I dinnae know what i was thinking.A Hippogryph. Wonder what them looks like... Pegasi? hm."

I love it. And to think I'd never heard of a hippocampus until I played Age of Mythology. Best game in the world. Anyway the comment. I like how the creature is outlined in a dark color so it stands out. Congrats!

:-) Kelli doyle replies: "The style here is when I had lost of mounting board and goauche. I'd draw on the board in pencil then use the back mounting board as an outline. Kinda like stained glass."

Oooh wow, i saw one of those as a carousel horse thingy. I love your style here and the green2 hmm and it is pretty cool, i've been told gouache is one of the hardest paints to work with

:-) Kelli doyle replies: "Ooh, yah. There's a Double-Decker carousel I used to visit in Santa Clara, they had such BEAUTIFUL carousel horses. And Yeah, gouauche is hard, but you just have to be VERY patient. It makes beautiful colors."

I love this one! The dark outline adds a wood carved look to it.
I have a hippocampus painting too, but I got a bad grade on it. :X

:-) Kelli doyle replies: "well, if it makes you feel any better, this was never part of an assignment. It probably would have gotten a bad grade too."

:-) Kelli doyle replies: "hm. so you don't like it... just becuase?Okay."
