It's a Gryphon from my old never-did-any-page-of-it project of drawing the alternative version of Alice in Wonderland. I had more interesting things to do and, honestly, there are tones of similiar ideas for stories in Alice's realm.
I did good old Gryphon mostly because asked me to draw him, so I dedicate it to her.
He should be more masculine but actually did not turned out this way (I'd say he reminds Aelhiel too much, but I couldn't help it xDDD).

It's my second bigger trial to paint in photoshop and I really like the results. When you change your thinking about painting (I had to change mine, since I've been doing almost everything in opencanvas until now), photoshop offers you really great set of helpful tricks and make you work faster. It took me two evenings to finish this piece and every minute of painting was truly pleasurable.
