Description I got an invite over at and so made this!

Alcina is a Greek Sphinx!

I am srsly happy with how this turned out and I think I will be drawing her often as taurs combine the parts of people and animals I actually like drawing. (though animal heads arent a problem, human legs ARE )

Hope I didn't forget to include something, but this time of the morning isnt my sharpest.

Ps. I think I've submitted it to the right group, but if I'm wrong please move or I'll resubmit it

Alcina is the picture of a Greek Sphinx. She is neither benevolent nor a protector of men. She spares no love for humanity and has spilled their blood in the past. To other taurs, though she does use her words harshly at times, she is generally tolerant, but not heyond cuffing an unruly youngster, or adult!

She takes much pride in her appearance and will sometimes "helpfully" comment on the appearance of others, which may or may not come out insultingly.
More to come.

*Edit: I just realized it might be unclear, but the blue diamon on her back is all feathered.

They are both! Though each culture depicts them a little differently

I am usually unreasonably picky when it comes to the composition of a sphinx, and I typically like the taur look, but this sphinx is just so beautiful. I love the colors. Awesome character design!

I love her design so much! Her eyes are particularly striking. I really like how you made her lion back feathered; it makes her wings look like part of her rather than just being tacked onto her body.

fiendishthoughts [2011-06-13 00:40:38 +0000 UTC]

She is GORGEOUS !
I don't imagine she'd take too kindly if I crawled on her back and said 'GIDDY UP!', huh ?
Haha.
I really like the colour scheme, and I'm particularly partial to that hair !
