Description
Why you dA titles won't like ö!?You may remember Hönkeln from the fairytale meme, but Enigma should be a new character for you, right? Well, anyway, let me introduce you my two Silkiehunds! ^^ Silkie chicken-Swedish vallhund gryphons.
Hönkeln appeared into my mind last year, during the summer. My mother and I were driving back home from a trip we had, and during that trip I had met two Silkie chickens and as a chicken fan I of course fell in love with those guys!
Enigma instead wandered into my mind either in the end of last year or in the start of this year, but as she appeared, she was already more dog-like than Hönkeln. It seems that Enigma shall be my nuisance untill the next spring. She has the main role in my degree work. So you'll be seeing more of her later
So, Enigma and Hönkeln are a sister and a brother. They hatched from genetically manipulated gryphon eggs, fused with the genes of a silkie and a vallhund. Thus, something weird happened in Enigma's case, and she developed to be about 75% vallhund and 25% silkie. Because of having a head of a dog, she wasn't able to break the shell of her egg when she hatched. Their owner who got their eggs had to help Enigma a bit. Because of her outlook she got the name "Enigma".
Hönkeln is the one of them who 'has the brains'. He tries to guide Enigma and give her advices, but Enigma always doesn't quite listen to him. She rather acts than thinks everything thoroughly. Hönkeln also tends to take life pretty relaxedly and enjoys peace and silence. Enigma is about all of the time going somewhere, investigating new places and and wishing to meet new creatures. And if she isn't wandering around she most likely is trying to find a way how she could fly. Flying is her greatest dream.
I have no idea if I was supposed to write anything else here, but at least I can't remember anything more now. And like always, if you have something to ask about these guys, feel free ask it
Enigma, Hönkeln & art (c) me
Oh, yeah, I was also supposed to say that Enigma and Hönkeln have their 'thumbs' on the side of their legs, not on the back side. My friend once had a good point when they said that a gryphon could have lots of troubles walking if they had a finger/toe on the backside of their front legs. I think it's quite true O_o

I think I had a heart attack when I came across this.
I'm impressed that it's not a sparkle dog/whatever.
And that these are so adorable. AND have real colours,
instead of every colour of the freaking rainbow.
Great job and keep up the good work.

Haha, thank you! Even though these are somewhat gryphon-like, I still preferred to keep their colouration (and size) as natural as they can be. I can't anyway say that I'd be a big fan of sparkle dogs and alike, even though some of my characters do have a more unnatural colourations...

You're welcome. And your gallery isn't full of rainbows and neon colours.
I can't stand that in art. But anyway, I love your art and love your style.
Keep up the fantastic job. <33
Oh, and thanks for the Llama back. <3

Oh, yeah, it isn't, and hopefully I'll never go crazy enough to fill it with rainbow and neon colours xD
And thank you very much again, I'm delighted to hear that!
No problem at all ^^

Aww love those!
Usually I see always those huge demons/angels-dogs that weight 5000 lbs and are tall 5 meters.
Personally I prefer those "realistic" one
You improve A LOT with dogs anatomy!

Yep, that's true. And I've got to admit that I have a few characters like that, too :S But it's a nice change to have some smaller characters also And might I say way more realistic characters by design too, even though Enigma and Hönkeln are more or less unrealisticly gryphon-like...
And I'm very glad to know you like them and that I've improved ^-^

Aww, they're both so cute. Really adore the claws and anatomy overall. I got chased by a silkie chicken once...
I wasn't too happy about it.

Maybe it was a silkie chicken from Hell? And thank you very much
