My Griffin

Hello to my dear readers!

Just so you know, I said I'd specify when something belongs to me, and this is definitely mine.

A couple months ago I saw the movie The Spiderwick Chronicles, and there is a griffin in that movie that sent shivers down my spine when I saw it flying and immediately inspired me to experiment with drawing one myself. Before the movie was even over, I had already tried three or four different poses before finding with one that was halfway decent and didn't show too much of the face (I can't draw a bird's face very well yet), so I came up with this...The picture doesn't really do it justice, but I don't know how to make it any bigger so I'm just gonna have to get over it lol.

I know it's not perfect and the anatomy is probably way off or whatever, but hey, it's a mythical creature, I can make it however I want. ...As long as it stays within the boundaries of half lion, half eagle, that is. Also, it's my first real and true attempt at coloring in one of my drawings, and I had a lot of fun with it.

Let me know what you think; constructive criticism is definitely appreciated and will be used to the best of my ability. But, in the words of another artist whose name escapes me, flames will be used to roast marshmallows.

And another thing, some ideas on names will be appreciated. I'm always in the middle of writing some form of story or other, and maybe I'll include this griffin in one of them somewhere, but he needs a name. Something original is the only requirement.

Until tomorrow! Wait... It's already tomorrow again... Until later today! Lol bye!
