In this animation, Ballad Quill, a young gryphon musician, has just gotten a hat and vest as a hatching-day gift from his human friend, Sondrew Hayne. These things being a novelty to a gryphon, he's very excited.

Inspired by a children's picture book I'm working on.

I was going to stop uploading Tale of Sondrew and Ballad-related stuff here because its innocent cuteness sits awkwardly among some of the other recent art in my gallery. However, I wanted to see if this animation worked on here, as deviantART had all these weird boxed popping up in it.
