Artist's Comments
A while ago, I was looking through some of the photos I'd taken when I went to Greece. I came across this one photo from a Mycenaean palace which had these unusual gryphons frescoed on the walls.
Feeling a little inspired, I decided to drawn this Mycenaean influenced gryphon. I also tried to get the appearance of a frescoed wall, or ancient parchment with the textured background. Comments
 I like those colorful feathers.

 as usual beautifully done, neat, colors look great and I love the background effect too.-- Go see friend Badger here [link] the maker of the drums.   Very nice - love the colors!
 -- ~Eternal-Geisha Come join us! Member of ~costume-maker, *ArtisanCraft, ~Adult-Swim-Club, *Ev-Fanart, ~Evanescence-lovers, ~AnimeVectorArtists, and ~Faye-x-Spike-Club  Beautiful work. I have featured your piece in my journal!
-- Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who. Thank you very much for the feature!

-- Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who.  I am not a professional artist, so I cannot offer a professional artist's criticism. But I would like you to know that I think this particular piece is truly beautiful. It looks like some of the medieval work in the Lindisfarne Gospels, and also the Book of Kells. I get the impression from your screen name that you are from somewhere in Asia, or near there, so you may not have heard of the two great works that I have mentioned. They are from the British Isles in the early Middle Ages, roughly between the years 750 C.E. and perhaps 900 C.E. I hope that will help you to identify the works I am talking about. Very beautiful art that you create consistently. I watch your material and I am always glad to see when you have created something new. Peace.
--Phizzbin, in the USA -- -- Blessed be the Awakened One -- Thank you! The Book of Kells and Lindisfarne Gospels are among my greatest sources of inspiration. I learned about them in highschool and university. Heh heh, eventhough my screen name is Chinese, it's simply a nod to my appreciation for Chinese art. I'm actually a Canadian of European descent.
