I think gryphons are my all time favorite pred. (Don't tell Mort)

Like if I saw one in real life I would THROW MYSELF AT THEM. Like I am not a fan girl but I would fan girl the shit out of gryphons. Eat me. Please. Pleeeeease.

First of all, crops. Second, talons. Thurd burds. I have a thing for bird preds. It's weird because I prefer more canine mouths, but birds just.

This is Nyra who will be returning quite a lot. She's essentially the character Mort was until I created the version of him we know today. I've been fixing up the original story that she's part of (what became the comic) and quite enjoy her, and really wanted to draw her. She's a little bit less of a sicko than Mort, a wee bit more sympathetic to her prey, but still pretty murderous with a 'tude.

Design isn't 100% final, but the changes will probably be minor. Orange-y red tail hawks are heavenly. Can't wait to draw the rest of her...
