Description I love my new comp. And photoshop CS3. They make me happy.

These are calygreyhounds: The face of a wildcat on an antelope's body (note, probably the heraldic antelope, which bears little to no resemblance to the natural animal of the same name) with the front claws of an eagle, 'bulbous ram's horns' (ususally drawn to resemble leafy branches, so don't ask me what sort of ram they were thinking of,) and sometimes the hind-hooves of an ox. Oh, and a tufted tail.

This is a heraldic creature as opposed to a mythological one, and is meant to represent speed.

I chose it mostly for its obscurity. And I like cats.

I make my own. I did look at brushes other people had made, but most that I found acted like.... well, stamps, as opposed to brushes.

All in photoshop. I probably could have painted it if I had the patience to let the paint dry. Photoshop = no waiting for the humidity to stop messing with my art.
