Description
Character Name: GideonSpecies Combination: Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura)/Sphynx Cat (Felis catus)
Aery Name: Twistoult
Rank: Young gryphon
Gender: Male
Personality: Far too curious for his own good, Gideon is drawn to novel experiences, and will accept almost any dare. Whether he's trying to impress someone or simply enjoys novelty for its own sake has yet to be seen. He is soft-spoken and exceedingly good-humored, though he has a habit of making snide remarks.
Now with ear nubs!

I'd like to include Gideon in Kiya's second adult challenge. Would you prefer him drawn as a young gryphon or adult?

Go for young gryphon! His reference sheet is accurate enough for it--and I haven't quite decided what he'll be like as an adult yet! (Thanks for the inclusion, by the way!)

Wow, what a classy combo! Great idea for a really unique griffin--he is cute in his wrinkliness! I love the color you used in his skin tones.

Oh dear I read it as "enjoys novelty for its own cake.."
Beautiful colours and painting style.

I'd have to see some of your traditional work to know if you're still being "tentative" with color but I like what you've done with the addition of the blues and yellows (especially in the baby's fluff and the adult's skin.) Baby Gideon's back leg frightens me a little... I guess the joint is just hidden in wrinkles? I think in addition to Sphynx and Vulture he is part sharpei

Hahah, yeah, I just made him really fat and wrinkly, so his skin is pretty baggy ... kinda like this, [link]
I figure he'll grow into it as he gets older.

I love the addition of the chick! XD What a great and logical combination. ^^ Lovely colors in the adult's skin as well.

I am seriously d'awwwwing at the ITTY BITTY NAKED KITTY EARS. <3 He is so adorable, and that's saying a lot for a vulture! (though, admittedly, I think vultures are the coolest).

Ah, he's pretty cute for most of him being wrinkly and hairless.
