Do not approach the gryphon without offerings of caffeine. Do not attempt to touch the gryphon. For your own safety, please respect the gryphon. Commissioned birthday gift for Likeshine, which I thoroughly enjoyed creating! I don't get to paint enough gryphons these days, and Likeshine's has been a favorite of mine for many many years now. I can't resist painting one of my favorite subjects in my favorite color!

A gorgeous rendition. All the small details make this (such as the green reflections on her piercing jewelry).
