Description Edit: Re-submitting because something seemed to have malfunctioned with the first one >_<

Aery Name: Grandesque
Character Name: रेवा Reva -a Hindu name meaning "one that moves".
Character Species Combination: Oriental Bay Owl/Asian Golden Cat (Phodilus badius/Catopuma temminckii)
Rank: Adult griffin
Gender: Female
Character Personality: Sweet, friendly, soft-spoken

Oh yes, I'm in on this thing too

I chose a Bay owl because a) they're interesting-looking birds no one had used yet, even though [b)] they scare the living daylights outta me! (see for yourselves! [link] [link] [link] )

I couldn't choose between cat paws and owl talons, so she has a combination of both; "owl paws"

I'll make her a better ref soon -one that actually shows her wing patterns (I scoured Google and found zero photographs of Bay owl wing undersides! Not good )


Done today during Digital Illustration class in Corel Painter 11 between lessons on the program itself

Character & artwork (c) Me!
EDIT2: Face [link] Wings+back [link]

EDIT: This drawing does not do a good job of showing what her face looks like! I recommend googling oriental bay owls to give you a better idea.
For her wings, look at these. For her back spots, look at these two. Don't do that, look at this instead!

I can't also be quiet for long.
I keep swaying from side to side and bobbing my head.

How can such a sweet animal be so hard to draw from the back? How, Comix? HOW?!?

comixqueen In reply to Quailheart [2012-07-25 04:58:25 +0000 UTC]

I don't know! I experience that, myself! Maybe it's because I couldn't (and still can't) find enough photos of the darn bird to serve as a good ref.
I'm sorry! This should help you, though! And this! And all these!

Guh. Thank you so much for your help. ;~; This is for my big summer project, and seeing these images makes me realize I need to redo Reva.

She came out kinda...

sausage-y? xD

Aw, those photos are cute! But I like owls, so I guess I'm biased.

another great creature, i remind the last one :3
is it able to fly, the bones of a cat are heavy...?

comixqueen In reply to himechan33 [2010-09-26 23:13:55 +0000 UTC]

Thank you ^^
Yes, she can fly. I guess you could think of her more cat-like bones having the inside structure of a bird's, so they're light enough for flight.

himechan33 In reply to comixqueen [2010-09-27 14:09:35 +0000 UTC]

ah, but i thjought only those of birds have holes in their bones?
well, i think it depends how muscular the wings are, a condor is may even heavier than this being...

comixqueen In reply to himechan33 [2010-09-27 16:53:10 +0000 UTC]

That's true.
At the end of the day this is a made-up creature, it doesn't actually exist, so it may bend the laws of physics a bit (but the 2 animals that I used in the design -Oriental Bay Owl and Asian Golden Cat- are real)

Aww, she's a cutie. I really like her feline parts (and her owl paws!). Can't wait to see more from her (or is it "of her"? Damn my ruddy english!)

MichaForrest In reply to comixqueen [2010-09-27 14:10:52 +0000 UTC]

yes! It's semi aquatic as ospreys dive pretty deep and kind of swim and tigers hide food in swamps.
