Description
I'm strangely attracted to beasties that have human heads and animal bodies like the sphinx, manticore, harpies, etc. Especially stilted, kind of gawky one.I could lie and say that this is my balance assignment but it isn't. I was just doodling after a day of commission work and this is what popped out.

I love sphinxes, especially if they have nice looking wings like this one has!

An interesting rendition of the sphynx for sure, she looks a little confused though. I'd LOVE to see you do a manticore!!!

So lovely, she looks depressed, I think that she needs a hug.

Very nice 
The only thing I've never liked about sphinxs is that their necks are either too long or too short... but that's just me

It's no secret what walks on four legs in the morning, two in the evening, and three at night lol

This is awesome. I have the same obsession. I don't know what it is. But something about weird creatures, lanky and awkward ones, with human-like heads and animalistic characteristics is fascinating. This is really a beautiful image. I love the expression on her face and the delicacy of the lines you use. You have such wonderful draftsmanship skills.

D: Makes me sad seeing this because of the tears. But I LOVE IT anyway
I just get sad when I see tears in art or real life, but that doesn't mean that this work is bad, it's really beautiful

This is very nice.

I think I know why she looks so sad. Her wings seem to be in the middle of a moult. Never a fun time for beings with feathers. *nods*
(Hooooooow can you make pencilwork look so goood? Gah.)

No, very itchy >:F
Pencil is sort of my comfort media. It's what I'm most accustomed to. Which is probably why I don't do a lot of it.

Finally! This is the type of Sphinx I always found myself imagining. I really love the expression on her face.

It is funny how random coincidences can happen. Thought I would share this with you.

Same thing happened to me, but with a different sphinx drawing. xD

Oh wow, this is so very awesome! It would be so nice to see colored... actually, I am just kind of curious to what particular cat pattern she has... if it is a particular cat pattern...

After reading a comic that has a Sphinx as a main character, I'm drawn to your rendition! I especially love the elongated neck, it goes right with the other interpretation that I keep seeing.

"Jeeze, would you look at my freakin' neck?!"
Heehee. X)

Great work. Reminded me of Caresses by Fernand Khnopff, a prominent symbolist and painter of women as the femme fatale. The female body is connected to a body of power and androgenized so that she becomes both an appealing figure to males and a deadly, powerful figure as well.
Love it!

I was thinking of that painting while I was working on it!

Then you did a superb job referencing it!

Sphinx -> Oedipus.
High school literature has profoundly changed my thought process and associations.

Oh that wacky, wacky Oedipus.

We had to act out scenes. Our group was all girls. It was incredibly awkward.
