Creature design commissioned by Foxtacles. I had insane amount of fun with this one. I really enjoyed process <3 It was really nice to dig into brownish and earthy tones. I didn't have any particular references for this one, but somehow I always have Golden Eagle in my mind while creating all kinds of gryphons and similar. It probably shows with this head :D

Gorgeous detail in the wings! I think the golden eagle feel to it suited the piece well. :)
