Description
I drew this for GJ301's New Character Art Challenge in early 2017.Having learned a lot in Ponyville, Gabby returned to pass on some of what she learned to the next generation of griffons. The griffon fledglings seem to be very enthusiastic about it. Also Gabby found some allies among the griffons already. Gilda seems to have become a kind of bodyguard for Gabby, protecting her from the anger of less enthusiastic adults. Greta has taken it upon her to clear up the library (Twilight would certainly approve).
On the right we got Grampa Gruff who doesn't seem to share the griffon fledglings' enthusiasm one bit.
The shopkeeper griffon appears to be positively unsettled by the announcement of something being offered free of charge, while in the rear another adult griffon is rubbing the chin / beak possibly wondering if maybe Gabby and her helpers may be on to something good.
The background is a screenshot from S5E8 "The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone" from which I removed Gilda and Pinkie Pie.

Who knows, maybe Griffonstone will be undergoing its own Meiji Restoration thanks to Gabby ^^

Hopefully without its bloody sideeffects followed by aggressive expansionism
I'm not sure one could label the Meiji Restauration as primarily driven by the elements of harmony.

No, probably not. To the bloody side effects, the aggressive expansionism or being driven by the elements of harmony. Still, the rapid modernisation by incorporating outside ideas and "equestrianisation" of Griffonstone means the comparison holds

Absolutely not. I am also carving soapstone, drawing with chalk, I make clayfigures, I make mosaics and I only just tried out a new form of art I will upload soon (but I have to waid with uploading it a little longer lest I spoil a birthday surprise for a friend)

I appreciate the story behind this piece, it really shows a great deal of personality for the Griffons. Especially for Gabby and her new found enthusiasm and purpose.
And with the destroyed background, you showed a good semblance of the Griffons and how they act.

Thank you very much, Rexlare
The Idea was really to have the picture tell some stories and give some prospects for the future of Griffonstone. With the help of her allies Gilda and Greta and the enthusiasm of the little griffons not yet fixed in the more egoistic ways Gabby may do a good share to turn Griffonstone into a more beautiful place of more friendly, open minded and welcoming Griffons.

Vielen lieben Dank
Dir drücke ich aber auch die Daumen. Deine Masala für die ArtChallenge ist wirklich schön geworden. Ich freue mich schon auf gemeinsames Zeichnen beim Kölner Stammtisch morgen (und werde da auch noch mal ein bisschen Werbung für die ArtChallenge machen)

Very cute, especially the griffon chicks' poses and designs. I love the idea behind the artwork!

Thank you very much, Empyrea
They are still looking for some contributions for the New Charcter Art Challenge.
Since they hope to get two images of each of the new characters they are looking in particular for one more picture of Tender Taps, one Ember, two Zephyrs, two Quibbles, two Thoraxes, one Gabby, and one Vapor Trail and/or Sky Stinger. I'm going to spread the word during the drawing workshop at the meetup next saturday.

When will the Art Challenge end? Maybe I want to contribute a drawing of Ember and/or Thorax. ^^
