Yes, I know the whole snowy owl/snow leopard griffin idea is hardly new and exciting. In markings, general physiology and environment, the two species fit so nicely together that I don't doubt there are a few dozen of these on Elfwood already. However, I couldn't resist the temptation to try one myself, thinking perhaps that I could somehow do it better. Clearly, I was wrong. Look at that bland pose, obnoxiously centered composition, and vague generic background. It looks like an illustration from a field guide. Say, a field guide to griffins . . . interesting idea for a collaboration project. Know of anyone who might be interested?
