Description
This is the first thing that I did wholly without any physical artwork, back when I was too sick (bacterial bronchitis) during Christmas (and the three weeks surrounding) to get out of the house or move more than seven yards without fainting. So I stuck myself at the computer and decided to discover photoshop. I did the head with my mouse, before I got my palet *lovee!* and I am quite pleased with how it turned out.Karassa is the most common subspecies of Aviis Felidae (Gryphotha), the lion/golden eagle mix, or Aquila leo. She's a semi-bronzy color. Anyway, Gryphons live to fly (wouldn't you if you could?) And slowly waste away without their glorious wings. She's flightless until her next moult, but she'll either have died by then, or have committed suicide without flight. Sad. . . The Gryphotha don't convey their feelings facially, since a bird's face is nearly motionless. But I think I captured that emtional agony rather well here. Feedback, please? It isn't done yet, obviously.

Really? Thanks! It's one of my favorites, and I hope to finish it within a year (tenative.)

Seeing as I started it in december, I doubt the final is going to come up any time soon. :-_-;:

Wow. I like this so far. It pretty much sums up my entire week. --; But the work you've done so far on it is really amazing. My friend Katie luuuurrves gryphons. I'll have to link this to her. ^^

She sounds exactly like me. Are you sure you're not talking about me? Oh, and the plural of Gryphon is Gryphotha. Just so you know.

She can't draw, so she doesn't have a DA account. But I'll tell her about you! She loves gryphons, and gets mad when people spell them 'griffin'. I'm okay with it, but she says that 'gryphons' are superior. xD
