I'm not sure exactly what to call this, actually. Obviously, it's greyhound-based, hence 'coursing', and it's definitely a bird/mammal hybrid, hence 'griffin'. But I don't remember why I thought it needed tiger striping, or what's going on with that plumed tail. Anyway, this was drawn and colored entirely in Microsoft Paint, which should cast a whole new light on its mediocrity. Yes, it may be crap, but it's crap with a lot of work behind it! Through my patience, dedication, and carpal tunnel syndrome, I seek to demonstrate that MS Paint is a perfectly adequate graphics program, being versatile, user-friendly, and, above all, distributed with very nearly every new PC.

Why the tiger stripes? Cause! You used a Brindle colored greyhound for your model!

WHy the tiger stripes? because without the griffin head and griffin claws, it would look like a really p*$$ed off tiger about to attack a poacher... ^.^

I coulda sworn that at one point I heard that only female griffins were winged. If this is true, then this is a male.

M S P A I N T ?!!!!!!!! Are you some type of GOD or something??!!!!! I love this creature. It’s very babylonian, somehow, and very feline. The front limbs blend extremely well... this looks like it could really exist, I swear!!!!!
