This well-fed gryphon has found a nice lofty crag, perfect for a bit of sunbathing. He lazily stretches his wings out to catch those warm rays, tucks his head down, and starts to snooze... Tinted in Photoshop Elements for a warmer, more antique look.

Wooowww. . . Wowsers! Wonderful picture! Now, why didn't you get Mod's choice? Great job on all the detailing. *first comment skant*

:-) Danielle K. Long replies: "This reply's in red, as you've made me blush... I never meant to get very far with the drawing, as I wasn't thrilled with the composition. But the fellow had a life of his own, and sort of drew himself. Thank you very much for your comments. 2 "

Very beautiful!!

:-) Danielle K. Long replies: "Thank you! I must say, your dragons and griffon are quite the inspiration! I tried coloring this fellow, but did miserably. However, having seen your griffon, I may give it another go, using fewer colors this time. "

This is just brilliant! The feathers are amazingly realistic!

:-) Danielle K. Long replies: "I'm honored ~ you do incredible wings yourself, quite dimensional and detailed. I also admire your handling of cloth and bone. Anyone reading this ought to click your link and check out your fan art section. The necromancer drawing is aMAZing!"

Great job. Amazing detail (the wings, beak and fur!) and the image has a "feel" of harmony to it. Looking forward seeing more material from you!

:-) Danielle K. Long replies: "Thank you so much! I like trying to make fantastic creatures look real in the details ~ glad I'm getting there in some aspects. 2"
