Description
Here is my character sheet forAery: Twistoult
Name: Equinox
Species: Peregrine Falcon/Snow Leopard (Falco peregrinus/Uncia uncia)
Rank: Young Gryphon
Gender: Female
Personality: Equinox is mostly a quiet and calm gryphon, her actions reserved and carefully considered. Although she thinks things through logically, she is deeply spiritual yet she tries to hide it. Occasionally she can be caught deep in meditation or ritual.
Though preferring the serene, Equinox will not hesitate to step forward to defend against the unjust, even if physical force is necessary. Despite acting as if she is not interested, she enjoys adventures and discovering new things. Her most prized possessions are beautiful rocks, acorns, and dried leaves, which she collects (in secret, of course).

Oh! Sorry about that.o3o;;
OH YES. I stared at the image itself longer than most, wondering if I could pull off your char well enough, and sort of forgot to doublecheck gender. XD x3 <3

I'd like to include Equinox in Kiya's second adult challenge. Would you prefer her drawn in young gryphon plumage or adult?

Leopards are awesome! I'll have to study big cats more since I had a bit of trouble with Equinox's feline parts.

Wow, what an awesome gryphon.
The anatomy and realistic markings are really wonderful. I love the two species you've chosen, they work so well together.

Thanks! Part of the reason I chose snow leopard to be her feline half was because snow leopard coloring goes so well with falcon plumage.

Oooh, I love tiny griffins like these. I have a Snowy Egret/White Serval one myself and I love him: [link] I really love the hawk-like expression you've portrayed, and the detail in the markings.

Ooh neat! It's a very well-proportioned gryphon (which can be challenging when you use long-limbed birds).

Counter a long-limbed bird with a long-limbed cat! Gryphons are FUN.

Awww thanks :3 She was inspired by a peregrine at a raptor center where I volunteer, named Athena. Lots of personality (and a positively lovely bird). And as for doing it digital - I allllmost did this in watercolor since I was getting so frustrated with Photoshop, but eventually I decided to stick with it.
