Description Aaannnndd...Here's Temp! Or, rather, Aurcoralu Lightwave ForgeTemper, "Temp" for short. And just sos y'all know, his name is "Temper" the verb (as in, to temper steel or glass), not the noun. Grr homonyms...

Anyhow, when I'm drawing gryphons on my own and not intentionally splicing two animals, this is what I get. Temp here is basically a "breed standard" for my own gryphon species...more about them later, I think. Temp is not actually a character from my novel series; think of him more as a substitute.

Actually, that's exactly what he is. I've been modeling my gryphon characters in 3-D in the program LightWave, and Temp is my "Template" (the actual origin of his name...I swear not all of my chars' names are this derivative, sorry ) for all the others; a base form to alter to fit each individual gryphon. He sort of became a character of his own as I was working on him, though...so although he isn't a main character, he's still getting a cameo or two. In the meantime...enjoy the really crappy ref, haha! I had fun with this...I luff my sketchy lil' gryphs.

Other info:
Full name: Aurcoralu (Ar-Core-Ah-Loo) Lightwave ForgeTemper, "Temp"
Sex: Male
Age: 21 (gryphon and human ages roughly equivalent)
Species: Variat gryphon
Height: 5'4"
Wingspan: 21 feet

Also: the ear color is not natural. Just so you know. It does have a point. I'm just not going to tell you yet!

Epic Griffin! I do love your artwork. Oh! By the way, I've finished the head and two of the neck feathers on Embryn. Corel Painter Essentials is no fun to work in, but produces unmatched results. >.> I'm still deciding whether or not to do the scale-pattern on her. Ahem, so to speak, it's a bit difficult. But i'll give it a whirl.
Once again, fantabulous work on Aurcoralu!

EEEEEE I'm so excited! I can't wait to see, I'm sure it will be absolutely epic!!!! I know what you mean about Painter...I'm just figuring it out myself, and it's kind of a persnickety program...but it looks so cool once you figure it out!

And thank you again!

^^ I think you'll like it. But so far, I've only got her head and neck done. Starting on the wings. Oh yay! I'm not the only one who knows the word persnickety?

Epic.

No problem!

I love the ears! And nice style there with the digital painting. I have trouble with the right-brain thing and rely really heavily on lines, myself. *kinda jealous* D:

Me, too...that's why I'm trying to force myself away from lines, although I still prefer that style. I still need lines to draw the original sketch, but I usually try to cover them over later with fur or feathers. And thank you so much!
