Kiwi Griffin~

Yes, you'll still be arrested if you grab it.

And be laughed at by the internet if you film yourself doing so, even if you are 'one with nature,' doesn't mean it has to like you!

All that important mischief-making tires a baby out.

Out of curiosity! Any good reason for your preferred spelling?

Sylvaine Asheweaver lives under a stolen name in a commandeered mansion that was built for a scholarly being much larger than her.

Most people of Marrowtide tend to make up a lot of outlandish rumors about her, too afraid to actually go to Tattered Wing island (it may be the griffins as well).

She’s got that kind of uuhhhh Vincent Price-house-on-haunted-hill type vibe goin on.

What's the point of a fantasy comic if not to make adorable, tiny griffins?

I love your Derkholm art! Do you have any tips on drawing griffins? I’m planning a webcomic that includes some griffin characters, and I don’t have any experience with A) drawing them in the first place and B) making them look like individuals. Thanks!

Thanks for being so patient for this reply - had a pretty busy couple of weeks preparing stuff for artist conventions. Anyway, was a lot of fun to ruminate on - here are a bunch of things I've thought about (and am still thinking about) when drawing the griffin kids! Heads up that I'm still practicing myself, and there are definitely a lot of aspects of creature design I could work on (the wiiiiiings gah), but hopefully this helps give you some direction on designing your own bird-lion-cats.

I want more fantasy books that are just thinly veiled horse girl stories.

I want to see an injured dragon rider defying all expectations to fly again.

I want to see the city lady forced into the country, where she befriends a wild griffin.

I want to see a local villager going Home Alone on unicorn hunters.

I want the historical tavern to be saved by one wench's unlikely friendship with a pegasus.
