Gryphon prompt: Lets share our inspiration and WIPs
-
I don't think I will get this in by March 1st as I kept restarting and trying new concepts. But I'd still like to post when it is done and get feedback if possible.
-
Getting into the lineart. Going to be cutting it close, but I think I can get it done before the deadline. Fingers crossed.
-
Hi! I'm new here, wish I saw this before I posted my result for the prompt! but I would love to hear any thoughts on it. I've never drawn a griffin or even a lion before this! Very challenging, also this is done traditionally with ink and watercolor.
-
Managed to get through the rendering. Still have a couple hours. Figured I would let it marinate for an hour or two and come back one last time before uploading to the final thread.

@Joshua-Chennault Your style give me really fun Gravity Falls vibes

@Sarah-VanDam Yeah, I loved Gravity Falls. Animated shows are a big inspiration for me. The stuff Disney, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and Netflix have produced over the past 10-15 years are really great.
-
@Haley-Browning totally still post it to the prompt thread when you finish! I’ve never seen them leave anyone out bc they submitted late!
-
@reberlik what about a defective wing that it was born with? You could add a very impactful emotional metaphor that goes with it, maybe make the lack of a wing positive in the end.
-
Which version do you guys like better? I intended it as a goose originally because of the migration/abandonment metaphor. But peacock feathers have a slight visual similarity to moth wing pattern.
Still feeling like there's not enough story here... I'll keep working on it post-HTFYA. -
@reberlik the second one feels more cohesive to me because the color visually connects the characters.
-
@J-Morgan-Looney Thanks J! That's reasurring to hear that I submitted the more color harmonious option. You've got a great eye... it actually wasn't something I was thinking about. I was just focused on the "eye" shaped wings of peacock and moths, feeling this was a missed opportunity.
-
@H-Moon Thanks H! Your concept idea is very creative! I'm generally more drawn towards art that communicates negative emotions like loss, loneliness etc through metaphor, but i can see how an uplifting message would be more popular with a wider audience
