New gryphon paint

[bladespark]

I finished a gryphon today. It was a commission piece, which you can tell by the fact that it's brown, as brown is a color I never would have picked on my own. Not that I don't like how it came out, because I do. There's a lot of subtle shading and little gold highlights that don't turn up at all in these photos, I need to take better, but ah well.

The first one is true to the actual colors of the thing.

Now I need to get sewing, so I can finish Ren's suit. I'm a touch behind, but given the distractions of this week, that's hardly surprising, and next week won't be much better. Happily I don't have much in the way of hard deadlines, so I won't be in any huge trouble, but still, I hate to have to tell people their suits will be later than planned.

Well, it's an unusual colour, and I think I like your other pieces better, but the markings really make this one shine (heh, figuratively ;). The third shot is really nice, very flattering. The eyes are a perfect match for the colour scheme too.

Very very cool. I like it all.
But i do have a favorite part, The wings, so very detailed
