It was really weird to do the lighting first before the shading, because it was like I was working backwards, but it was pretty fun to do lmao

ADFGHJ   So cute I love it!

Now for everything I want to say about epic art of my gryphon I know how you feel when shading her, so much dark colors. But you had done amazing and all that detail too! I really love the feathery look you put on her chest and mane, this something I really like about your art doing awsome with the detail and lighting!

Her wings OMG, I'm fascinated by how you do your wings on anything, so well drawn and so far the one of the best I seen! The face is so cute Nice work on the beak, I mostly have trouble with that part when drawing birds XD BUT you master them! I can understand that putting the eye light glare is a little tricky but I lazy and just put a white dot and glow on the eyes LOL but I see you did some reflection in the eyes which looks fine to me :3

And You got her war like marking too! Something that forget sometimes XD I'm glad you put that feature in there, plus I believe I did forget to tell you about that part but happy you got that! "w"

I can defiantly see the effort put into this piece and I'm so flipping happy about this! Also I'm surprised I won the raffle even tho usually I don't .... But anways THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I TREASURE THIS

I'm glad you like it!

I think this might've been the first time I've drawn a character with colors this dark, most of my characters are usually lighter and placed in heavy shading kinds of drawings lmao

I usually reference my pet bird whenever I draw anything bird-like, but he has small dainty wings compared to something as large as a gryphon. I think I referenced a heron's wings from memory and I gave it the something similar to the primary feathers of an eagle, too.

I nearly forgot the scar on her shoulder lmao, I'm usually flipping the canvas multiple times and I forget that it's flipped and I end up drawing stuff backwards, but I noticed it was missing when I went to color it

You're welcome yo

You are so welcome I ADORE IT!

Perhapes next time I enter a raffle, I give them a lighter colored character XD

My goodness, lots of practice then! The wings I hardly knew that they almost resembles that of a heron's, haha....I should start doing studies of different types of wings XD

Man I'm beginning to wonder if anyone drew my characters, but they forgot a minor detail, I wouldn't even notice cause I'm too busy enjoying the EPICNESS LOL! : D
