Welcome to my Kingdom

Postby Sakarilynx » Fri Aug 16, 2013 2:40 am

I had a blast creating this one! Say hello to my new charrie Altair (it is the name of a star that means flying eagle). He is a gryphon, and he has slowly developed over time. In this picture he is showing us his kingdom or dominion.

Although I am happy with how this has turned out, I'm not sure that it belongs in advanced... so mods feel free to move it to intermediate. I debated posting it there in the first place.

Comments/Critique/Likes are greatly appreciated. ^^

Gah, dat wing is driving me crazy! I hate it!

Thanks! It was a challenge to try and make it look somewhat realistic, but I tried. XD

I actually love the style you drew! I think not every piece of art should look realistic. I think it belongs here, even if you tried to make it realistic c; Great job, it looks amazing! ^^

Thanks! ^^ I figured I would have to try and make it look realistic, because anything I make that isn't realistic ends up as an utter failure. XD Realism is about the only thing I can do decently.

yeah, I guess you are pretty much only good at realism XD but still, the style you drew here looks really interesting to me! I think I like it better than even some of your other amazing art!

I'm glad you like it. ^^ I'm surprised you like this more than other complete realism based art, but it definitely has a different feel to it than anything else I have ever made.
