It's about 20 hours work. Drawing fur is easier than scales. Thats why it look me less time. I think the background worked out great! I'm really happy with it :D This is made in Photoshop CS 2 and 3.

This is a tropical griffin. You can find then in thick woods in warm area's. The males have more colorful fur than the females.

I fancied something different for a time. So I combinated a crow with a lion instead of a eagle and a lion.

Well enjoy this people!
