This is character art for Droc Guidera 's sona, who is a hybrid sort-of-gryphon mix between a black panther and a raven. It's also my first commissioned art, which is pretty exciting! I may need to poke around putting a journal entry together perhaps. Droc was a lot of fun to work with and this character definitely proved to be both challenging and educational.

Here's a link to the time-lapse gif of the creation process: http://i.imgur.com/TCeHr0x.gifv
