Description
-- You may reblog this at my Tumblr: [link] --My final assignment for my digital painting class. I'm quite proud of this one, it turned out much better than expected. C:
She's not quite a traditional Sphinx, in fact if I didn't include 'Sphinx' in the title I doubt most people could figure it out lol. She's more like a cross between... a seraph and a harpy? I dunno haha. I like her this way though. And as an added hint, the page she's looking at in the book is at the chapter on Sphinxes. Credits to Wikipedia.

I actually did write text in the book, but it's just a bunch of stuff copied from the "Sphinx" page in Wikipedia. XD Not sure why she needs to read up on herself though...

If I can fav this more than once, I would fav it a hundred times. You've done an amazing job. The light, the color palette, the character, the details are awesome. Keep up the good work

The light and details are great. What I like is the original take on her. Thinking of her as a librarian was a good idea. You've done good work.

Great detail, and don't worry, I didn't have to look at the title to know that she is a sphinx!

Woah this is awesome and sooooo cool! it's really creative I love her wings and paws and...glasses. Makes her look a bit bookish and librarianish until you see the skulls on the back wall....D: really super awesome!

Yeah! A librarian was what came to mind when I drew her, because after all she has to have a lot of knowledge in order to come up with those riddles.

Greek sphinxes tend to be depicted as winged in general [link] , so you're not THAT far off...

WHOA! That's Stunning! I love the design, the fur looks luscious, and that's a nice touch for the breast area. xD And I love that mischievous look on her face.

I honestly have a lot of problems when it comes to boob-covering, I have no idea what to put most of the time :/ That's when I end up covering them up with scales or feathers XD Thanks so much! I really appreciate your comment ^^
