Description
Edit: Re-submitting because something seemed to have malfunctioned with the first one >_<Aery Name: Grandesque
Character Name: रेवा Reva -a Hindu name meaning "one that moves".
Character Species Combination: Oriental Bay Owl/Asian Golden Cat (Phodilus badius/Catopuma temminckii)
Rank: Adult griffin
Gender: Female
Character Personality: Sweet, friendly, soft-spoken
Oh yes, I'm in on this thing too
I chose a Bay owl because a) they're interesting-looking birds no one had used yet, even though [b)] they scare the living daylights outta me! (see for yourselves! [link] [link] [link] )
I couldn't choose between cat paws and owl talons, so she has a combination of both; "owl paws"
I'll make her a better ref soon -one that actually shows her wing patterns (I scoured Google and found zero photographs of Bay owl wing undersides! Not good
Done today during Digital Illustration class in Corel Painter 11 between lessons on the program itself
Character & artwork (c) Me!
EDIT2: Face [link] Wings+back [link]
EDIT: This drawing does not do a good job of showing what her face looks like! I recommend googling oriental bay owls to give you a better idea.
For her wings, look at these. For her back spots, look at these two. Don't do that, look at this instead!

I can't also be quiet for long.
I keep swaying from side to side and bobbing my head.

How can such a sweet animal be so hard to draw from the back? How, Comix? HOW?!?

I don't know! I experience that, myself! Maybe it's because I couldn't (and still can't) find enough photos of the darn bird to serve as a good ref.
I'm sorry! This should help you, though! And this! And all these!

Guh. Thank you so much for your help. ;~; This is for my big summer project, and seeing these images makes me realize I need to redo Reva.
She came out kinda...
sausage-y? xD

Aw, those photos are cute! But I like owls, so I guess I'm biased.

Can I feature Reva in my third challenge? I'm getting all the current Grandesque gryphons together in one shot.

another great creature, i remind the last one :3
is it able to fly, the bones of a cat are heavy...?

comixqueen In reply to himechan33 [2010-09-26 23:13:55 +0000 UTC]
Thank you ^^
Yes, she can fly. I guess you could think of her more cat-like bones having the inside structure of a bird's, so they're light enough for flight.

himechan33 In reply to comixqueen [2010-09-27 14:09:35 +0000 UTC]
ah, but i thjought only those of birds have holes in their bones?
well, i think it depends how muscular the wings are, a condor is may even heavier than this being...

That's true.
At the end of the day this is a made-up creature, it doesn't actually exist, so it may bend the laws of physics a bit (but the 2 animals that I used in the design -Oriental Bay Owl and Asian Golden Cat- are real)

Aww, she's a cutie. I really like her feline parts (and her owl paws!). Can't wait to see more from her (or is it "of her"? Damn my ruddy english!)

yes! It's semi aquatic as ospreys dive pretty deep and kind of swim and tigers hide food in swamps.
