@Tash
Well this is fun! Love all the behind the scenes details. -
@R-Fey-Realme
His face says it all! -
@Joshua-Chennault
Nice work and a lot of it! I love the pacing of the story. Nice set of expressions! -
@Larue Thanks! Yeah, it took me longer than I hoped it would, but at least I have a better gauge for something like this now. Hopefully be easier with time.

@Shatterhead
Really beautiful colors in this and shape design is great. -
@Mandy-Forte
Very sweet and nice consistency in your characters! -
Here is my submission, the sculptor and his grandchild making the griffin sculpture out of stone

Lately, I felt a bit burned out - working on this prompt was such a joy!
Seeing all the different takes on griffins is very inspiring

WOW all those unique griffins! Here is my version - it is connected to my submission from the previous month, I hope it makes sense. I am really having fun with this challenge.
-
@Larue thank you! I really had fun with this one! I love your cheese thieves!

@mag
I love this! So sweet. Gotta wonder what someone did wrong to deserve such a delicious offering. -
@Larue Thanks Larue!
It's funny how different all these Griffin stories are, right? We went through each and every post with my kids, telling stories for every illustration. They loved your library griffin a lot! -
Hello everyone!
I'm a professional philosopher and a bumbling illustrator. Posting anything publicly is a first for me.
I started working on these pieces a while back, when the prompt was first introduced, because I had promised myself at the start of the year that I would submit something to HTFYA at least once. Unfortunately, I got pretty sick a few weeks back and didn't get the pieces to where I wanted them to be. But, oh well, I made a promise to submit so that's what I did.
Although they are both not quite there yet, I thought I would post both because they are two very different approaches to illustrating the same idea. One of them is still pretty raw, in terms of rendering, but I ended up liking the chaotic energy of the piece. Plus, it made my 7-year-old chuckle, so... why not give it a go?
I think I have watched every one of the HTFYA webcasts and recently bought the course as well (although I didn't get to take full advantage of it yet - Thanks, Covid!). Given that I am completely self-taught, seeing someone like Will, Lee, and Jake critique other aspiring illustrators' pieces has been an eye-opening experience and I look forward to learning more from their critiques this month.
Thanks for doing this guys!
(@AustinShurtliff Sorry about the late submission, I've had trouble signing up to the Forum until Analise thankfully helped me out with it)

@Joshua-Chennault This is amazing! The idea, the rendering, the characters and their poses & expressions - everything is top-notch. I also love the chaotic energy of the main frame. Wish this was an actual animation that I could show my kid, he would love that.

@Tash this is clever! Love it!
-
@mag Your joy of working on it really comes out in this piece. Apart from being beautifully done, it also gives off such a lovely vibe. So sweet indeed!
