I REALLY NEED TO SAY THAT
You are the artist who inspired me to start drawing Sonic characters more realistically, alright? This is important, I owe you this. You are a big part of my artistic evolution, I was a lil teenager back then. This is big, hope you like that comment.

I was reading some articles suggesting from Greek historical writings that Gryphons were probably real. Are you excited about that possibility?

That would be really neat! Though the pragmatic side of my brain has to wonder if "gryphons" weren't actually inspired by ceratopsian dinosaurs. All we have left to see of them now are bones, of course. But who's to say that instead of that pebbly dino-skin they weren't covered in feathers~?

We're pretty much brainwashed to think all these extinct creatures looked like dull, scaly, reptilian things with no ears, noses, etc.
If you looked at a cat skeleton, would you ever assume it's this cute, fluffy, hopelessly stylish, ninja critter? If you looked at an elephant skull would you ever think it had these big ears and long trunk? How about a peacock--would we ever assume the absolutely ROYAL colors adorning this bird?
Bones alone don't entirely tell us if they were covered with fur, feathers, shells, armor, spines, pop tarts, etc. (sans rock impressions) so my imagination runs wild!

I'm doing my best to keep in awesome! Hahaha.
My wife and I are expecting our first kiddo in December now! Life just gets busier it seems. I haven't written anything for fun in ages. Booo.
Glad to hear you're doing well, though. This pleases me!
I suppose you've heard about the official word on Sonic Comics now. So an era comes to an end!

Awwww~ Congratulations! Just think of all the fun you're going to have... building Legos, wiping boogers, playing games, teaching him/her how to do new things. And HEY! For the next 12 years or so, you'll have a viable excuse for perusing the toy department of every store! xD
Yep. I've heard the Sonic comic is officially done. To be honest, I haven't read it since... 2005? IDK~ It was shortly after the great SonSal break-up; when it had become clear that the situation was never intended to be "repaired." So I guess I'm not too bothered by it. Pathetic, I know~
R2M is pretty much done now too. I have yet to find a new place to write for fun, myself. Not that I really have time to do so...
Maybe we'll find one someday!

Thankyou!
Yes and no. Since my desktop crashed and took all my art software with it, I haven't had a chance to invest in anything new. My computer's since been replaced, but shortly after that, I had a house fire and lost ALL of my supplies for traditional art. Again, I've since replaced a few things here and there, but I'm so busy working I just don't often have time to sit at my desk and draw. Hurray life.

Out of curiosity, did you see the gryphon character that joined my entourage last year?
It's a while since we were in contact and such...

I love your signature! The minute i saw it, i started singing that song. I love Casting Crowns, my favorite song by them is "Voice Of Truth." Are you also a Star Trek fan? Because i noticed that the first half of your username is the name of a character from Star Trek: Voyager.

Kree-yah!!!
Hello, and good evening (or is good morning...? ) OMGosh it IS morning! Oy~ Church in 5hrs, I best make this quick.
Thankyou!
Though Casting Crowns does record some wonderful and inspiring music, the refrain quote in my signature is actually from a song written by Arron Schust. (I think I spelled his last name right ) I would have preferred to quote a refrain in there from Skillet that says the same thing but with a lot more "punch." But alas, there's not enough space available in the text box... Oh well. I have so many favorite songs by so many favorite artists: dc Talk, Group 1 Crew, Skillet, Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline, Go Fish etc and so forth... it'd be insane for me to list them all!
As for my character's name, because I am lazy and don't feel like typing (and I really, really need to get me bum off to bed) I would like to direct you to this old journal of mine to further answer your question: [link] Speaking of insanity, I apologize in advance for the red background that makes your eyes bleed when you look away from it.
Good luck reading, and God bless! Thanks for the visit!

Kree-yah! We Christian gryphons are becoming an increasingly rare species to find... Sadness. Much sadness.
To be honest, I wouldn't really know if I was Otherkin or not.

*nods to that* And Christian Otherkin gryphons are even more rare, but there are a few of us.
