Artist's Comments

I now have the mental image of some scientist dressed in a funny beige outfit, setting up his camera and then getting the wrong subject in his picture. After all, there isn't any gaurentees that it would be safe to get that close to a gryphon.

I'm pleased with the way that this came out, considering the fact that I was putting the front of a bird on the back end of a lion (one at profile and the other not) and having to add on things like talons and paws from even more pictures.

It didn't help that the lion the kestral front and the talons all had different light sources I needed to change.

*laughs* That's actually the point... I'm trying for making something that's obviously not real to look very real.

e_e; I can't wait to try and paint it.

Wow, you manipulated it really well! I thought it was a drawing or something, because everything is so flawlessly mixed. Too bad these guys don't really exist.... :(

*laughs* I wish I could draw half so realisticly...

And I agree...you would think that the front of a bird of prey and the back of a big cat would look akward... instead they actually look majestic.

Very intriguing. I like how the transition between the hawk/bird and the lion is flawless. I had to do a double take when I first saw this. I would love to see how this would look with colour in it - maybe you should experiment with digital colour or watercolours for your next project!

Love ya!

Nye, I'm going to be painting it in acrylics. Which should prove to be an interesting challenge. (As I want to continue the double take sort of effect.)
