Description **Warning For The Sake Of the Viewer's Eyes: This is an oldie!**

All would envy
The rainbow in your feathers
All would envy
Your dark silver mane and tail
All would envy
The shine reflected in your blue and black coat
All would envy
Your wings dyed with the sunset colors
All would envy
Your gentle amber eyes
All would envy
A colorful creature like You

This was the very first time I drew Ninniach(who, I must add, I haven't drawn for waaay too long!) back in 2006.

Oldie or not, this is still one of my favorite works ever.

I was reorganizing my works the other day and came across this one(and another one that my Elfwoodian fellows will recognize as my first mod's choice) and starred at it for quite a long time. I absolutely love those wings and those cliffs are way better than the ones I've been drawing lately. I sure was inspired when I drew this.

Ninniach started as a "normal" four-winged pegasus but as I kept sketching, I started adding more details and it was love at first sight. His feathers are inspired by the birds of paradise and they're the reason why I don't draw Ninniach too often and also the reason why I love him so much.

As you can see by what's written near my signature, I did something to this. The sky and cliffs were full of ugly pencil strokes and they were really ruining the whole image and, since it doesn't really change much about it, I decided to try and disguise them a bit. The scanner also helped here(unlike my old one that scanned this for the very first time), this scan is very near being perfect, it's a shame my scanner doesn't work so good with my most recent works...

You can see the old scan here: [link] I had never realized how much the colors look faded there, nowhere near the original.

No crits please!(I do wish I could change his ugly cheek here but I don't want to, I just fixed the background because it wouldn't really do any harm but changing Ninniach himself is different)

Still reading this? Cookie for you!

July 2006
Colored pencils and graphite pencils(I think I used 5b and 9b at the time) and a little bit of chalk for the stars that were replaced by white pen.

Perfectly easy prey for a predator to spot, who would envy being spotted by a predator xD?

The gryphon would be struck by Ninniach gorgeousness and faint, overcome by stallion's beauty-or something like that

I highly doubt it XD No gryphon guy(girl) would mess up with him, he's not your average horse/pegasus, it had to be a VERY large one XD

What about wyverns? They can pick up bull african elephants, and gryphons can be the size of a bull african elephant!

Well, if there are wyverns near the place where he lives... maybe Poor Ninniach!
