Gryphon Cassidix IIby *AlectorFencer

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Fantasy

I wasn't quite pleased with the first Cassidix version and decided to do a portrait of it, showing it's gorgeous having. The wings, which looked kinda dull in the first picture.
Believe it or not, I detailed EVERY feather, even if it was one in the shadows and if you can't see them, I did. Aah!

And for a misterious reason, my small finger hurts. lol

All has started with a ridiculous looking sketch, which consits of some messy strokes about the creature. The pic was meant to be a quick sketch with a quick colouring in Photoshop. As I showed teh first progress of it, i almost wanted to finish it and let it be like that. Just the main colour with some airbrush strokes and a few feather scribbles, as a hint to details. But as I know myself, I couldn't resist to set the first details on the feathers and got caught again.

In the end, I laid lots of time on the feathers and painted over several parts, deleted layers or edited them till I was pleased with the results. This shows the actual colourfulness of the Gryphon Cassidix and the change from feathers to fur and the hardness of the beak with it's roughness.

I hope you like it. ^^

I stopped counting the time when I passed the first 18 hours, three days ago.

BTW, I spelled my name with a "Y", that's something I thought about for a while and will let it be like that from now on because I like it. Hehe

You have a really similar style to a girl I know. She drew a lion that's done in the same way as this. Very detailed and from the same perspective. Greatness.
