That's cool o_o;;

Only thing is: I think the hinds are too long. But it looks sweet nonetheless ;)

This is a really magnificent gryphon. The attention to the detail of the wings is very good, as are the details on the forepaws, head and neck. The subtle shading gives a good three-dimensional effect, especially on the wings. The only small comment I have is that while the lion portion structure and proportion is good, the line of the fur seems a little too linear, mainly on the body. Out of curiosity, have you thought about making a color version at some point?

Thanks for the critique and comment!
I thought they might be too long. ^^; Makes her look a little too anthro-ish, ne? Will fix for next time!

Thanks :D The detail is what takes longest!
I think you're right about the fur being too linear, and not really fluffy enough. Makes her look like she just got a bath. Splash.
I have thought about a color version. Your technique with the gel pens might work really well on this one, but finding gel pens in steel and pale blue..!

^^ Mmm. I suggest "KaerYwan". It just came to me. @@
:D I love gryphons. If I were a critter- I would be a gryphon, by golly.
