Our power went out for a while, and I was forced to find non-electronic ways of amusing myself. So I picked up my neglected sketchpad and began drawing. This came out.

When the power came back, I transferred it to the compy and colored it. Nambroth's skill with the oil pastels in Painter fascinates me, so I painted this all with them, just to see if I could. By the end, I discovered that they're very sensitive to stylus pressure. It actually makes painting delicate things like feathers easier.

So here is a nesting griffin. She actually has a whole clutch of eggs, which she's currently sitting on.

Griiiiie-phooon.

I really like the shading in this one, you have a deeper grasp of how-the-heck-to-use-colors than I do, that much is certain. x_x The pretty background, with the lighter streaks of blue against those purple mountains, is very attractive. Also, her eyes are very fetching.

I wonder what a baby gryphon, griffin looks like? :p Bald?...with a furry bottom? I obviously don't know. x)
