EDIT: I've changed Quin's design because his old markings weren't accurate for a yellow-billed magpie.

Here's my reference sheet for #Windsonde ! If you don't know, #Windsonde is an art challenge/rpg group based on gryphons. Windsone has specific requirements for all gryphons and... Pash didn't meet them (only realistic colors are allowed). I decided that it would be easier for me to make a whole new gryphon instead of trying to un-sparklefy Pash and here's what happened!

I'm actually pretty happy with this reference sheet. Sure, it's simple, but it's also to-the-point. Besides, only a full-body is required and that's what most people are posting. A reference sheet just doesn't feel complete to me without the wing spread. P:

I think the hardest part of this reference sheet was the markings. Yellow-billed Magpies only live in California, so it's really, really hard to find non-mature pictures of them. In the end, I had to reference from the closely-related Black-billed magpie and follow the short written description here . I still might change a few things about the design, so if anyone can find some photos of an immature Yellow-Billed Magpie, that would be great.

I can't wait until I can draw his adult form. He's gonna be so pretty~
