Autumn 2003 - 21cm x 17cm - Coloured pencils

Everybody's favorite is back: A new picture of a Golden Songgryphon! This time a bit sleepy on a pumpkin. And with a thicker fur than on the first pic. It's November, it's getting cold after all, and some of those little fellows don't fly to the south like the Field- and Mountain Songgryphons but stay here during the winter.

* Update November 2005: Ellen Million Graphics sells cute songgryphon stationary, now!

*Does first comment dance* HORAYYY! 2

Oooo this is simply precious beyond words! That little songgryphon is just divine. I love how you drew and colored that pumpkin! Wonderful drawing!

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you Kathy! 1 I like the pumpkin and the songgryphon, but I like this species better as I depicted it in the first attempt..."

Rar! This is so freakin' adorable that it's *killing* me! I love the touch of the pumpkin. It kinda gives you an idea of how small the songgryphons really are. Especially when they're right next to grapes and playing with them, no less.

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Hehe, I have always liked pumpkins. not so much for eating but for looking at them and making cool halloween faces out of them. ;-)"

I'm surprised that there aren't any "AWWW!!! HOW CUUUTEE!!!" comments yet! ;D Love the oloring on the pumpkin, the songgryphon's expression reminds me of a little kitty cat sleepin' in the sun. 2

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you Jenny! It's been just a sketch for another oil painting that I coloured quickly with pencils because I liked it. I guess the oil painting will be better though."

That creature is so cute! I love it ... -steals songgryphon and hides it in a basket- Mine!

1 Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Hihihi, thank you Claire! Man! I'd earn a treasure if inventions like that would become reality-pets, eh? ;-)"

Hiya! I haven't see too much new stuff from you... Any new pics coming? Hope so! Nice job of the shadows in this picture too! Really good! Was it done with prismacolor? Just wondering.

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Hi Elf Ranger! I have quite some pics in progress, but school or rather the publisher-hunting for my book is eating my time away. This one was done in coloured pencils. I must admit I have no idea what prismacolors are. Maybe a brand of coloured pencils? If so it could be..."

Can't wait to see the pics you've got coming! And good luck on your publisher hunting, I'll know what it feels like in a month or so... Oh yes! Prismacolors are a brand of colored pencil. lol.

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you! I'll need all the luck I can get! "

Sticks out one finger and softly pats it.. you have art that you wanna hug! I hope the papaer lives through that trial 12 really well done! can't get enough of these griffi thingies!

1 Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Than you Meike! Hihihi, maybe I should make some stuffed animals of my songgryphons to be hugged and carried around... ;-)"

This is too cute! Imagine just sitting on a pumpkin with the sun beating down on you! The smell of the pumpkin, the feel of the sun! *shudders* that would feel so good!
Again, I want a songgriffon!! 8
Are you going to add a background?

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "No, this one won't get a background. It was just a quick drawing. "

I like your pumpkins......

3 Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you very much. Myself, I think the songgryphons have turned out much better than the pumpkins, but they are okay. "
