Finished the commission for my friend, Shira, today. She asked me to turn her Gryphon character into a dragon shape, for the fun of it, and this is how it turned out. Her Gryphon is based on an Osprey, hence the delightful little Straciatella dots. ^^

A fantastic and elegant character design! Something about pale-colored dragons gives them an especially mystical, otherworldly vibe. I love that you actually render the textures on the wing membranes and gave them a lovely, subtle color gradient instead of simply leaving them looking like a flat field of white.
