GRIFFIN!! I drew what a griffin might look like in my lore :]] I love this fella! I think they turned out cute 🤲💞 (inspired by a numbat and kookaburra)
#TaxidermySculpture ~ My most recent reverie of fur and feather.
I wanted to create an object that felt like it had been transported from a time gone by, but one that also felt equally phantasmal. I have always been captivated by Art Nouveau and Art Deco, which is where I drew my inspiration for the style of this griffin. I thought a video would be the best way to convey the fluid Nouveau-esque lines of its tail and curled wings. The idea for the arched feather antennae came from stylized Deco-era renditions of gazelle with their exaggerated flowing horns, a popular motif at that time. Genuine pearl eyes and 24 karat gold are among the details that add to the elegance of this piece.
TITLE: Absinthe
DIMENSIONS: 21” x 12” x 12”
MATERIALS: Animal skins over sculpted clay armature
The iridescent green undertones of the black feathers inspired the title – "Absinthe". The purported hallucinogenic effect of its green liquor namesake is said to conjure figments and fantasies, which earned the anise-flavored spirit the nickname “The Green Fairy”.

Since I have access to the Creative Cloud through school, I thought I’d try out Adobe Fresco with some griffin doodles. I actually really enjoyed it, and I can’t wait for an excuse to use those vector brushes. #adobefresco #adobefrescoillustration #adobefrescoart #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitaldoodles #doodles #illustration #griffin #griffins #cartoongriffin #griffindrawing #griffinart #griffindrawings https://www.instagram.com/p/CGavPE4D-vt/?igshid=1y2d3fr2pwt4e
This mother griffin is fed up. 😤 😂 I didn’t actually mean for her to look this annoyed, but I kinda like the story it tells. Look how happy her baby is. Also, what are griffin babies called? Pup? Cub? Fledgling? 🙇♀️ . . . . . . . . . . #justartjanuary #bold #day2 #artchallenge #justartjanuaryartchallenge #treetalker #treetalkerart #treetalkerartchallenge #griffin #griffinart #watercolor #pen #penandink #watercolorart #watercolorpainting #illustration #drawing #illustrations #artist #artistlife #artwork #artoftheday #arteveryday #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #illustrationartist #artcollection https://www.instagram.com/p/CJkOlvMHRue/?igshid=sjmtv4wa9zma
The complete #mfa_wofv⚔️ Episode 4 Cover Art 👉 For ARC and more info visit: artofmili.ca/warriors-of-virtue👈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The cove was created for a Kindle Book, so there is no need for the back cover. It is also slightly bigger than the finished size to allow space for trimming. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It features 14-year-old Princess Nikolina as the wind warrior Viliya. Nina has a special ability to communicate with animals, so I decided to surround her with them. The Unihorse is her friend and steed, the mare Garnet. The dog is our family dog, Lunja, who made it into the book with all of my family. The phoenix and the griffin are two of the four guardians of the Land of Ardan. Nikolina’s color is: purple. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . #yafantasy #bookcoverart #bookcoverartist #fantasyart #digitalpainting #unihorse #phoenixart #griffin #griffinart #purpleart #milifayart #fantasybookseries #fantasybooks #warriorprincess👑 https://www.instagram.com/p/B8bsz-Jgat5/?igshid=1o0s0e9uk5jy9
