Torch approves of the flight goggles. :)

Of course! Intelligent creatures of any walk of life need eye protection.

I like it, the style and post of the sphinx somewhat reminiscent of WWII bomber nose art.

'pose'

She can make a delivery to my dreams ANY time!

Excellent piece of art...

That's grand stuff.

May I ask for the source of Sphinxes serving as mounts for the Muses? That's the first I've heard and it would be nice if they were more than a singular monster in greek mythology.

I think I heard that on an episode of the "Coast to Coast AM" late night radio program about a couple years ago. I'll have to do some net searching, but I know the Columbia University has a great Mythology section in their reference website. I learned more things about Sphinxes there than I had known before.

Thank you very much. Now that I know were to look it will be easier.
And also thank you for your artwork.

Though I might be tempted to invite the spynx in and ask the muse the stay outside.
I assume it's supposed to be the other way round?

Then again this is the furry fandom. I'm probably not the only one to find an anthropomorphic of any kind more inspiring (not in that way!) than a humanoid.

Most furry fans would probably ask the Sphinx-gal to stay and take a wait on the dream.

very nice indeed

Heck, if they showed up they'd be a dream come true in themselves!

And the ones who have wardrobe malfunctions are those that deliver erotic thoughts?

By a coincidence, SteamFox, the 'sphinx' just happens to be the mascot of "The Enigma" - the official monthly newsletter of the National Puzzlers' League (which I've been a member of since July, 1982). Maybe, one day, I'll ask you to do a mini-sketch of one of your winged sphinxes for the cover (or, at least, the title logo area) of a future issue (especially if it has an 'all-animal theme' to it)!

Sure! Any excuse to draw more winged sphinxes is a good one. I'd be happy to.

Hmmm... how does one write on a lyre, though? 7@=Q

I originally intended the "Lyre" to be kind of like an electronic clip board with the Muse using the freshly plucked feather as a stylus.

Interesting!

But they'd best be careful delivering dreams around me or my family . . . they might not make it back home before morning. . . if my brothers or sisters have anything to say about they won't get back home for a solid month at least!

I like to believe that Dreamcasters, the Sandman, Santa Claus and even the Easter Bunny have that magical ability to slow down or stop time, or perhaps "Rewind" the days.

hehehe, don't help them much around Castle Discora . . . as the name indicate, Discord is the way of things around it and it's all too easy for magic to go awry if you're not careful.

That's why we never worry about trouble makers or thieves . . . and visitors, even passersby can quickly become long staying guests if they don't watch out. . .

heheh, especially if my older sister gets her sights on them
