Description
EDIT: After pulling out the original of this painting to get it ready for a show, I noticed a few things I wanted to fix. A 'few things' turned into a lot of things, and so here is a reworked version of the painting. I changed some color, shading, and anatomy. The original version before revisions can be seen here: [link]For a dragon or demon, there is nothing quite as terrifying as a gryphon diving upon you from the sky...except perhaps if there is a Rider upon its back with her spear aimed for your skull.
Watercolor and colored pencil on illustration board, 8 X 13 inches

When clouds of iron gather nigh, blackening the winter sky,
Storms gather fury from the lake, best hurry home and refuge take,
For soon the worst will come to pass, and ice will turn your routes to glass,
While in the north the beast awakens, from his year long slumber taken,
His howl the fury of the gales, with deadly curves that rarely fail,
To send your autos into flight, through blizzard's curtain blinding white,
See driving skills you lack with the, FLIGHT OF THE SKAJAQUADA

The details on those wing feathers are amazing. And you're right. I would be petrified with fear.

Well I suppose a gryphon could be seen in some ways as an atom bomb, in that...whatever it hits is going to be completely destroyed.

Beautiful anatomy on the wings, there is nothing I admire more than an excellent show of feather structure on any mythical creature ^^

This si very nice, but you should have her looking down.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks, though what do you mean by she should be looking down? Should her eyes be more downcast or her head pointed down?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Her eyes should be down cast so it looks like she is eyeing her target. It just seems out of place that si she looking straight.

Ah, I see what you mean.
