Description my last image of the year hehe.... my entry for 's contest about new griffon combinations. I mixed a caracal and a falcon [used a peregrine as a ref drawing the beak and wings originally but sorta just made up my own coloration and patterns that seemed good]. Small in size no larger than a dog they tend to hunt small rodents, antelope, and birds. Living in the rocky plains. least that's what I'd figure hehehehe... I just really like falcons and caracals and thus wanted to mix em...if I had a better grasp on bird and cat anatomy and how to mix em bet they'd be cooler and whatnot but it turned out pretty nice hope you like it

[ps. Happy New Year ^^ ]

Beautiful griffon design. I've always liked those critters. Love the colours, too. Gives the whole thing a hot, dry feeling. *nods*

Wow, amazing work! I love your colors and your detailed work on the grass and feathers, which is not an easy thing to do with colored pencil. Well done!

Your very welcome. Ya, I know what its like working in computer light. As I do most of my art (including traditional) during the night my only light is my monitors. Its funny how a pic can look really good in that light but the next morning, in daylight, it looks awful. I can't remember how many times that's happened to me.
