So, backstory:

I rather enjoy going to pac's ( https://www.weasyl.com/~pac )Livestream, Taco Shack, as should all of you. Very nice people there.

Case in point, after I had mentioned a number of health issues I'd been going through the night before, one of my fellow chatters hired Pac for a hour's worth of sketches, and gave it to me! ^_^

This news was sprung on me minutes before the sketching was to occur, so of course that's when my brain went blank! Asking the chat for help, a few suggested that I have my character Gryph Ranshire as different animals. Sounded good to me, and here are the results! From left to right, top to bottom:

Porcupine: The first animal suggested that I not do was a porcupine. So of course that's first one I do ask for. Damn, and those clothes are not cheap! Just imagine him making low grumbling noises...That's usually how he sounds anyway, but this time it's because his clothes are now prodigiously perforated.

Golden Tamarin: Featuring arterian21 ( http://www.furaffinity.net/user/arterian21 ), a mook of some variety. Arte is a regular in the chat and we all give him a hard time. So of course the moment Gryph is a monkey himself he rejects the fellow mook no matter how many bananas are offered. Oh the sad eyes; oh the disdain.

Snarly Gryph: Already upset at being made into silly animals, Ranshire politely asks Pac and his creator to cease these shenanigans! Actually, this is what I usually start yelling in the chat when it starts getting a bit silly...or when emoticons I don't understand start getting used. Also, this was actually the last sketch of the night.

Hawk (Gryphon?): Ah, finally, a noble beast. Gryph highly approves of this incarnation. Strong talons. Sharp beak. Fluffy, furry tail--

Gryphon: Fluffy, furry tail?! Side note: I actually thought for a while of making a gryphon version of Ranshire. However, Gryph, gryphon. Seems too obvious a choice. However, actually seeing it for real now...

Snow Leopard: And finally, the dapper man as he truly is. Actually, fun fact, Pac is the first one to ever draw Gryph, all the way back in 2007! Here, take a look! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/730767 That's right, real media, and before there was Livestreaming, when commissions involved scanning sketches and emails to make sure everything was right. Oh what dark times those were! It's wonderful to finally get an update of my longest lasting and most beloved character. 'Though Pac has a tendency of making him look a lot more dangerous than he actually is. Really, he's a nice guy! Just don't say or do anything stupid around him. That's anger making.
