#gryfon art

And now we're here at a standstill; I wonder if you feel the kind of pain that rips your insides out? That's something I know all about; Shocking, ain't it? We have a lot more in common than you would be calm with It's like we're the same person, me and you

A little bit of a physical symbolization of the stalemate that Sverin and Ragna held with each other for an entire decade. If she tears out his throat with her beak, he'd do just the same with his claws to her. If she told his secrets, he would oust her immunity in the pride.

Nothing like waking up to six emails of fan art =] Maeve of the CockatielForger fan account sent, well, a lot of fan art! I'll get to work adding it to the fan art page, but until then... have Veron! "Have you heard of the Night Parrot?" - Blinky "No." - Black Mask

Artfight revenge for @Skiysilver of their dromaeus Rowan!

Rowan! Kinda ended up making him look extra goaty but shh I was trying to make the background look 'split' between mountains and plains but couldn't get it right so it's kinda Shoreline now ig jrhbfr

Im also just now realising i forgot his whisker doodads but Too Late (and they're be mostly offscreen anyway so just pretend that's what happened here, yup)

You can see Skiy's excellent attack on Noki Here!

Only the character's owner can use this piece!

Another one of these since i haven't done it in a while! Sketch -> finished illustration

Thoughts & process below the cut :>

Out of Bounds: i deleted the sketch of this off my ipad because i didn't like it, and for months it only existed as a screenshot on discord. finally in january of this year i was like Wait Actually and decided to keep working on it. I didn't achieve the look I was going for (kind of foggy and vague. It came out too sharp and high contrast) but it was fun to throw the kitchen sink at it for an afternoon and then call it done finally. I don't remember which horse this was originally supposed to be, I think Macha?

I reused the pose, you'll find the same one in my Pascal sketchbook from the section on gait studies. That's the cool thing about doing 30 sketches at once, you can finish them up any time you like for a different drawing

The Fool ft Islin: the original concept for this is from [takes a moment to decipher the american date system on discord] January 2022

It wasn't dynamic enough, but I've had this on the backburner for sooo long. I think I completed like 4 cards in between this sketch and the final version lol. But, for a bit of background, this is from my series of major arcana based in Inver, and in particular the events of the 1860s-era book series, Moth Viper Foal (a demo of the first book, Said The Black Horse, is available for free/pwyw in my shop). This scene is a companion to Said The Black Horse, depicting the aftermath of the traumatic fight that caused Islin to storm off. He had been working at the mill as a semiprofessional back alley surgeon when he received an offer to join the church and work as a trained surgeon in their hospital. But when he brought the good news back to his friends it was met with utter rejection, driving him to basically run away to join the church. while gay and trans. thus the card.

he didn't actually bring a bag with him when he ran out but for the sake of the card i drew him with one

Gryfon and Pantera: This is how 99% of holy beast drawings start out, even the super stylised ones. I struggle a lot to draw them in procreate so they start in sai and then i transfer them over. The story of this is already explained in the caption of the original post so I'll just talk about the process which was... honestly torturous. I actually don't like too much textures and effects on things (wild, I know) and this one and Out of Bounds are ones where I kind of preferred it pre-texturising.

The text on the side is the official in-universe report of the event, detailing the casualties, the valiant actions of Gryfon's knight before he died and so on. There's also spoilers in there :>

My main struggle with this art style is how it always ends up slightly TOO sharp and crisp in a way the just a blur filter never can correct. There's not a lot of immersion to break, to be fair, but I think this still does it a little. I need to get more comfortable doing the lines with larger and softer brushes, and allowing imperfections.

the boys!! nothing bad will happen to them ever <3

[larksideoftheloon]

Just finished Song of the Summer King, first novel in a fantasy series where the characters are gryfons. Sooo good, definitely gonna be one of my favorite series!

This is Stigr, before he lost his eye in the Conquering. Was he still a gruff badass before then? I guess...yes.

And Shard being all, "But I don't *wanna* be the chosen one!"

Started drawing a gryfon, and the expression reminded me of @authorjessowen’s Kenna, so I finished coloring it in that way.
