Man oh man, do I LOVE drawing gryphons! This is a painterly commission of a wonderfully designed gryphon, and even though I struggled with the wings (got some great help from livestream viewers) I think the result is good. This was one of the first commissions I took in the more painterly style, and one of the first large commissions I started keeping track of time for.

Love the details of the features. And for whatever reason I’m loving the background texture even more.
