I'm really not very happy with how this one turned out. Partly, it's because I sloshed water on it at one point and didn't clean the mess up very well, but mostly, it's because this was another great idea that I wasn't able to carry off as well as I'd have liked. Maybe I'll trace it and do it over someday when I'm better at this whole art thing. Sigh. At least I'm gradually getting better at doing wings.

Oh cheer up already!! Millions of people wish they could draw as well as you (me included) ;-). I think you are SO awesome, you and your many griffins. Figures that I should come across such a beautiful colorful griffin just when I needed something to cheer me up. Nice pose as well.

Who said that griffons had to be eagles/lions? This is really clever and colorful and just all out cool!

Hurrah! I've never seen this combo before and what a splendid combo it is! Awesome picture!

It’s beautifully coloured, but, although each half is very realistic as its own beast, the whole thing (to my eye) looks a little abruptly put together- I think the head is a bit too large, and the body is sort of bulky for an aerial beast. I dunno, perhaps you should bring the feathers of the macaw down further onto the ocelot? I do like the addition of tailfeathers.
