"His true shape" by Kristina ´Aryana´ Siers

Freawyn is right, and I can say the same. Albino looks like he should and more!

Kristina 'Aryana' Siers replies: "Again a big thanks, it is always an adventure to draw other people's characters, 'cause you never know if you get them like the people picture them!"

*does the first coment dance* And THaaank you so much again. I so love it, and I am so embarassed that you again did a picture for me and got just one from me so far! He came out wonderfully in his gryphon shape and says thank you very much that he now has one...hehe... it looks like this would be a picture showing him in his private home, relaxing from his work in Hoffnung, the hospital, before going on a little night hunt on Erlinnon. The gryphon looks as filigrane as he is concepted, and I love the background too! If ever one of your Nithyaras is ill and coidenceley will come into the hoffnung hospital, be sure that he will serve him in person and do everything that he will get the best of the doctors there!

Kristina 'Aryana' Siers replies: "Thanks so much! I am glad that he came out as you concepted him. And I still think it's agood idea to let one of your GuP characters meet one of my "Blade" characters!It was fun to draw him - i did the picture on a medieval faire, so the background looks a little...medieval."

He is beautiful! He's quite sensitive, but also strong and noble (the way he lays there on the pillow says it all ;-) ). I like the kind of stylized art you used here.

Kristina 'Aryana' Siers replies: "Thanks so much! I am glad you think he looks just noble, I think still he looks a bit decadent as he lies there on his silken pillow. "

The resting pose is really good in this I think. Animal like in its positioning, yet the face of the griff really shows human-like emotion and understanding. I like that contrast. The front claws of too are very well done in their detail, though from the pose look like they should be resting on something specific.

Kristina 'Aryana' Siers replies: "Yes, you're right. The front claws look a bit weird, and now I know why. Thank you!"

I think what really caught my eye was the way you drew the hindlegs- the tibia/ fibula appears to be quite short, and the leg looks really great stylised that way.
It looks really nice. I like the warm white-ivory tone, and the setting is relaxed and lovely.
One thing- some of the stars in the background are overlapping the curtains a bit.
Great job overall.

Kristina 'Aryana' Siers replies: "You're right on the hindlegs, their anatomy is totally off - I hadn't a reference of a lion or cat or something to study on before drawing, so the legs look a bit weird. "
