Artist's Comments

random moments. i was rereading mercedes lackey, and i always think of gryphons no matter what of hers im reading. so, i wanted to draw a gryphon. i was halfway through inking it when i decided "why not make it chako?" and thus i did.

-i dont know why, but blue just doesnt scan well. this is so much more vibrant in real life.
-a blue creature just requires a sunset background
-for once im actually satisfied with the beak. not so much the talons.
-pounded this out in about 2 frenzied hours

Awesome job. Scanners are horrible sometimes. They surely kill my traditional pics D:
:iconarchdemonyami:
Very nice. I think the blue looks good how it scanned, but that's just me. I've noticed that while this new scanner of yours is better with picking up the background, it makes it seem very digitized instead of hand drawn. Just thought I'd let ya know.

OMGosh! *SQUEEE!!!* :glomp:

This is the very first thing that drew my attention on my Dev-wtach list! OMGosh, OMGosh!

*hugs you 'till something goes pop-squish* :O_o: *gently puts your limp body back on the ground and covers you descreetly with leaves to hide the evidence*

Ahem, anyways. This is REALLY nice. I love the sunset and the attention to detail that went into banding the feathers. OH! And the feet. Love all the feets. :D

Out of curiosity, what kind of scanner do you have? I have an HP 1400 series. When I'm scanning stuff I can adjust what it picks up in the pre-scan before the actual scan. The only thing I don't like about my scanner is it doesn't pick up light or bright colors very well. Like neon pinks/orange. Hate that. >_< I always end up having to fix everything with Photoshop.

*squees! some more...* OMGosh I have fanart!!

*purrs* :aww:
