Teach Me to Fly

by Wolf Nymph in Complete Work

Created 1 year, 6 months ago

Rating: PG

Medium: Acrylics on 11" X 14" bristol board

Tags: dog gryphon love flight

Category: Anthro

Commission for Dani Walker, of herself (gryphon) and her soon-to-be husband (horned canine)! This one I decided to do in acrylics because I have a lot of freedom with the medium. I think it turned out fantastically, I'm pretty pleased. Coloured pencil touch ups make a big difference too, I think. Though, this picture taught me I need to work on textures other than fur, feathers and grass (the rocky cliff). Need more people to commission me for gryphons and birds! The gryphon is a combination of a Red Tailed Hawk and a Somali Cat, and her canine guy is a wolf with ram horns and Cape Hunting Dog markings. I actually forgot to paint in some blue decorations around the wolf's eyes, and will edit this submission with those minor change soon! ><;

It's symbolic, not realistic.
