Description Archery is wildly popular in virtually all Griffon nations, and is practiced not only for hunting and sport but also used alongside firearms in warfare. This bowyer is carefully forming a wooden stave into shape, while his wife rubs oil and waxes onto a finished bow to seal it.

I've never seen a hippogriff with Talons before, that looks pretty cool.

Though he is half-Pony half-Griffon like a Hippogriff but I have this feeling he’s more Pony than Griffon.

Well kinda more griffon cause the only pony part is the head

Finally, some art that represents rather well how bows are made. I'm not really a fan of My little Pony, but I do love a realistic concept of archery, bow crafting, and other forms of bushcraft. Keep up the good work.

Well, you and I share a common habit, then. I'd often browse through art on dA and criticise (politely) on their interpretations of such things.

WHEEE~!Β  I LOVE HYBRIDS!Β  They can be so cute, scary or just plain cool!!

I know thatΒ mythologically, a hybrid between a griffon and a horse/pony would be a hippogryph, but that doesn't mean you can't be creative!Β  Your hybrid character is awesome!

It is a hippogryph only that the head is a ponies

ChaosBetween In reply to DJBL4CK [2016-03-21 19:43:20 +0000 UTC]

A hippogryph is generally depicted like a griffon, but the lion half is a horse. Β Or a horse's body with the talons, wings and head of an eagle.

Like I said, you can draw a hybrid however you like. Β Nobody said that a hybrid creature has to be depicted exactly as they were originally depicted as.

Actually kirins/quilins in our fandom are misinterpreted as dragon-ponies. They're actually dragon-DEERS.

What you're thinking of really are Longma.

In other words: a Hippogriff, a cross between a Griffon and a Horse/Pony, and is said to symbolize true love, as in lore; griffons and horses are mortal enemies.

CrossDevice In reply to GameJunkie7 [2014-04-30 14:18:07 +0000 UTC]

I guess it could be considered a variant of the hippogryph. Could also be a pony sphynx

MustacheOfAwesome In reply to Mariachiman [2014-11-06 23:48:47 +0000 UTC]

I believe he's a pony equivalent of a sphinxΒ due to the Lion body, bird wings, and pony head. But that's just a theory, a pony theory! (I guess? lol IDK.)
