Description Caj stood taller than most, his flanks scarred from countless battles with gryfons and other beasts, his broad wings bright as a cobalt sea under the sun, his lion haunches rich gold. The king's honored wingbrother flaunted no metal or gems.

Playing with light, color and highlight. Thanks so much to for reminding me to use warm highlights for cool things. I feel like this is the first piece in awhile that succeeds with having a general light source And it was a relatively fast piece ^___^


Anyway. A semi companion piece to elementaljess.deviantart.com/a… . Enjoy!

Characters from my novel, Song of the Summer King.

Nope!

A lot of the gryfons are depicted as having similar-colored hindquarters as their feathers, but most of them actually don't XD In my head.

Also, thank you so much!!
