I figured that before I go out on vacation, and thus have no access to a scanner, I put another set of my sketchbook drawings into my scraps again.

I don't practice expressions very often, I should probably amend that. I remember from the commentary with the last set of oneshots, a question if Dawnaria (the fire elemental griffen kaiju) is capable of expression. Generally, birds are not capable of much expression at all. However, the eyes are at least half of what makes all expressions possible and so by giving Dawnaria big fluffy flaming eyebrows, it becomes possible for her to show a wider range of emotion or at least the basics.

Top I started out just neutral/battle ready and seeing exactly how the eyebrows would play out on her head. predatory birds and bird like creatures generally have a visor brow that focuses their vision so it's a natural groove to build brows on. Once I decided to make this an expressions practice page, I did a sorta shocked/puzzled look, a morose/depressed, a side splitting laugh/silly, pyromania/enraged and brooding/angry. The mane of fire that goes down her neck and back also helps add a layer of expression, simmering, smoking, smoldering, flaring and flat out exploding depending on her mood. You can also seein the brooding/angry that she fumes pitch black smoke from her nostrils which like most birds is located above the beak rather than down near the tip like a dragon's would. Her eye's glow so the intensity can change the lightning of her face as well.

Hope this was mildly entertaining for you all. I now have to sleep.
