Artist's Comments

This is a long over-due part of a trade with ~Elfanta, who asked me to make her a hippogryph. And I curse the day I agreed to it, because this particular painting has plagued me, with program crashes, corrupted files and feathers. Oh, how I despise feathers. But, at the same time, taking on something that I've never done before, or I know I need to work on more, is always a good way to push one's boundaries... and patience. :XD:

I've dubbed him The Cookie Monster because of the particular color blue I ended up using.

PS CS2, Painter X and mouse.

Very beautiful! Your style always makes me wish I were you, lol. :+fav:s

I agree on the feathers thing, I almost gave my character wings but when I attempted feathers... well, lets just say that he doesn't have pegasus wings now. :XD: You did a great job on them though, I'm impressed. =D
