Description Right, so I have no idea what this is. It's sort of the cross-spawn of experimenting with a spiral pad of acid-free brown paper we found, my long-term obsession with Art Nouveau jewelry I can never actually afford to own (cry), and medieval beast-y designs. Haven't played with pastels in ages! Using the brown paper as the middle shade instead of a white paper for the highlight level was an exercise in flexibility. Most of this was actually drawn on the airplane trips home from Anthrocon. This, and some more unicorns and horsey things. I always really enjoy a good con where I come home feeling inspired to do art.

Species-wise I suppose this is sort of like a dragon...griffin...thing? Mostly I wanted to draw something elegantly wacky. I love the front legs that make absolutely no sense.

I want to touch it.

But I'm pretty sure it would eat me.

My favorite part is the tail. :']

This is really pretty! Looks like there may be a slight anatomy problem with his front legs, but still awesome!

Lol! I'm sorry, I usually read entire artist's comments, I guess I was in a bit of a rush this time. ^_^

Hmm o.0 dunno why but this might be my lest favorite piece in the gallery. lol but I'm being a stick in the mudd now. The Art Nouveau is right there smacking me in the face although i didn't knwo what it was until you spelled it out for me. The twisting lines curves and light but rough detail with the fur and feathers do that for me. It's defently an unusual character. The kind of twisted legs and elongated neck kinda stood out but the wings remind me more so that this is a design not one of Spunky's demons.

Heh I really kind of envy you! I go to con's all the time but the magic just isn't there for me. I suppose I'm too much of a voyeuristic writer to interact. I like to watch people at cons. I have few friends who actually go to the things with me and I'm not very social even though I can't stop writing comments.
