Please, all you people out there who imagine yourselves to be heraldry buffs, refrain from telling me all the reasons why this is 'improper'. I'll ignore you, and then you'll feel all silly. I just needed a break from my regular style, which, frankly, is getting entirely too hyper-realistic and detailed.

Reminds me of the Arthurain crest. You know like King Arthur and his knights of the table round. Perhaps it's the color, and style, maybe species to I can't remember if it was a lion of a griff....well yea awsome Griffin... I LOVE griffins

So awesome! Can I put it on my coat of arms?! J/king. I have a swan on mine, how original.
This is just a great piece--I love griffins and this is beautifully done.

Lovely work! And I see no reason to criticise! There are TONS of exceptions to the rule, so NO ONE should criticise! Man, I wish I could draw like this!

I'm a fanatic for your realistic style, because I was practically raised on the Discovery Channel and Wild Discovery and it just blows my mind whenever I see one of your realistic fantasy creatures, which are among the most realistic I've encountered on Elfwood.

This, of course, is good too.

Jill Johansen did a very nice "Gryphon Rampant" heraldic style, but it wasn’t radiant red like this one, usual brown tones. She also stated she knew this would be considered heraldically "improper". I think they both would look great on coats of arms.
