Minipainting for Lady-Woods on DA of her raven/panther gryphon, Syriannach. She wanted a purple/green wash background, which I got a little carried away with and started adding white gouache and splatters :0

I love painting black creatures! It's a fun challenge to figure out what colors to add to make black without using flat black. No black watercolor was used in this!
