rather iffy about the lighting with this one so far, not sure if it needs brighter whites or darker greys to pop out more. I want to spend time with a thin fur brush and slighty build up highlights so I can build up the shape slowly without messing anything up. still seems just a little flat.

Felt pretty alright working on these stripes considering I did not really plan them out. still a little worried about the lighting and if they look as natural as the should, but from afar they look good, so im sure its mostly the fur deets that need work.

Fixed what I felt were some perspective problems. made the head drop and turn a little more. figure that makes more sense as she is more so on her spine than on her side, so her heads going to drop a little more. usually afraid to be this dynamic with the heads of the models but I want to get used to it. hoping this looks better and more comfy and ...

Changed the face to something more angled to add to the depth on the image. I still want to go over the lines a little more before I start painting. something is still not completely to my liking.
Please let me know what you think!
rough sketch of what I am going for. of course gota clean the lines a bunch and play around with some slight proportion adjustments in the legs and paws.
I feel like I can take on the stripes actually, might just give her a splash of orange.
These two critters were among the most suggested. this will be a female model.
2018-04-21 12:34:59 +0000 UTC View PostDoes not mean I am going to abandon this gryphon, but this project is just a little much for me do to the wings. I feel I am doing very little work for not a lot of progress and it has made me feel uninspired and like I could be working on a lot more. not that I don't think the image is looking good for the most part, its just that I lost momentum ...

I would really like to finish this image. and I plan to. its just that the whole thing does not sit right with me, it may be that I dread working on the wings and the lighting and not getting it right or perhaps that the old gryphon just spoils this one with its bad memories. Thought more than once, not to abandon it but perhaps start on something ...

Still slowly working on this image. I honestly do not feel as motivated as I would like for this projects but I really don't want to abandon it. if anything this month Il work on more sketches to get some ideas going. body is alright for me but the legs and rear still do not sit right with me.
any way let me know what you think! it always he...
Another pose but I am still not sure about it. not sure if this month just does not feel right or if this project worries me to much to be confident enough to tackle it. I just do not feel in it at the moment one way or another. I feel sloppy, this sketch alone took a while to make.
tell me what you think either way! any critiques on current...
been stumped as to what pose to pick for this project. had 3 ideas 2 of them being a side view including this one but the other had her chest propped up instead of resting. the last pose was a sort of a bow with the butt up, but again, mostly a side view. thought I would try this one as it looks more flexible and also relaxed. I want to make this g...

This one took me a while but I made sure to be very meticulous with this project. I do like the idea of quality over quantity but in order to really go this in depth into a project I have to really really be in to it, else I get bored. after working on this project I considered practicing more stylized projects that are not as super in detail but s...
2018-04-15 00:26:26 +0000 UTC View PostAt the rate I am going I might only finish 2 projects instead of 3. I feel the gryphon is going to take a lot of extra work and time to think over as I don't know much about feathers and wings. also feel like giving the current lion project some time tomorrow if I don't feel it ready tonight.

Once I complete that top leg and the rest of the back ground, there might still be a little polish I want to give this image. I really want the next post to be the finished image and since this image has been going rather smoothly that might be the case.

Very happy with this one. not only the quality but the mane was not as hard I I expected it to be.

Last bit of work I am giving the lines. Still very very small things that bother me but I doubt it has anything to do with the anatomy and more to do with OCD. The image is good to go for painting I think.
Would super duper help if anyone had thoughts about the sketch. Would give me a little much needed perspective before I start painting.&n...
Changed the legs a little and worked on that mane. I want to focus on the line work for the mane a little as I also want to extend it down the belly. I want to make sure I have a good idea of where those long locks are going so I don't have trouble when I paint. Might also give the main more volume or less depending.

So here is the same overall shape with a normal lion head. still want to change some stuff as the change to the lion head makes things seem a little different to me. I want to, not necessarily rush, but spend more time on this project in order to get more done as I feel I am a little behind, do to computer troubles and a few creative stumps.
2018-04-08 00:53:16 +0000 UTC View PostAfter some thought I decided to change my current gryph model to just that of a male lion; however, I plan on makeing the next image after this a female gryphon. Among other things, I changed my mind because I thought I would try to draw a nice classic lions mane, but also, because I had some people that really wanted to see my abandoned female gry...
2018-04-06 06:31:46 +0000 UTC View PostNext image is going to be a male gryphon (lion/hawk) or perhaps a demigryph if I can't figure out those wings.
Comments, thoughts? let me know.
got the courage to experiment with a nice back light. also added some fancy chromatic aberration.

Color is filled up but I still want to polish the image up and add a few more details. also the shadowing, not happy with it.

This one is WIP 4, the pinned image is WIP3.
Had trouble with patreon and not being able to post so sorry for the delay. there are also links to the streams I did for this on my discord!
