I really enjoy mythical creatures like this. Griffins, or Gryphons, depending on where you live, fascinate me greatly. As do their cousin Hippogriffs, or Hippogryphs. Very lovely piece. Looks like he is singing his heart out. No one around, no reason to hold back. No worry or fear of being embarrassed, just total freedom. Very nice.





The only critique I can think of is the simplicity of the hind-legs. From the tail and hinds I assumed Hippogriff (Please inform me if I'm wrong.) and I think it would work better if there were a bit of longer fur surrounding a black colored hoof. Or maybe feathers to match the wings, orange and red.







The coloration is very good. Shadows are very nice, and I like the left to right color shift. The light pouring to the left mixes well with the fiery energy coming from him.
