Description I tried to make the griffin blend in with its surroundings to give the impression that one could really go out and see such a beast...

acrylics on canvas, 50x50 cm

I love this picture, is it a painting or traditional, it looks very traditional and elegant if I might add.

But IΒ΄ve seen some intersting combinations here on dA and would like to try some myself...once IΒ΄ve got time, that is... got to finish my bachelorΒ΄s thesis first...

Yes...at least when I didnΒ΄t get the translation wrong and it means something entirely different...
IΒ΄m studying geology and analyse the remnants of a volcano to get my BSc.

Sorry... BSc means Bachelor of Science, it is the first degree one can achieve when studying...at least in my course of studies... German universities adapted the "Bachelor/Master system" used in the USA but not all have changed over to it yet.

Ankaraven In reply to Windshade888 [2008-07-14 08:23:14 +0000 UTC]

Yes, the Master courses start next semester... in the Bachleor courses they teach the basic stuff of a whole range of the different areas,Mineralogy, Geophysics and Geology... in the Master courses one has specialize in one of these.
In the humanities one gets the Bachelor/Master of Arts...

Wow, great picture! You have really managed to hide griffon!

I love those plants and how you have painted water. They look like a photo! The rock on the foreground isn't that realistic but it looks good though.

Griffon is gorgeous too!
