This is day 17 of my quest to become a great furry artist as fast as possible, (What a stupid idea lol) I've slowed down a LOT recently... I'm practicing no more than once every other day, and it's probably best that I do so avoid artistic burnout. This picture was drawn entirely in photoshop with a mouse that is evidently nearing the end life (Spazzing out, going unresponsive, clicks sticking, battery not holding a charge... making this picture was grueling lol)

At any rate... It seems like EVERYONE has a fursona, so I figured I should make one to represent myself. At first I used a meticulous approach, writing down a list of animals I like, my strengths and weaknesses, and trying to co-relate them to each animal until I came up to the best animal to represent me...

... then I said, "Screw this, I wanna be a Gryphon." And so it was.

Sure, they don't REALLY exist... but I've always felts a connection to these fantastic life forms. Besides, they represent strength, nobility, guardianship, and vigilance. A vigilant guardian wouldn't be an inaccurate way to describe me.

Enjoy the picture and leave comments... I WANT feedback. Anything that can help me improve myself as an artist.

BTW. That knife is based off of my jacobs-ladder, handle folding-kukri design (Not yet named). There's an intricate story behind its design. If you care, feel free to skim through this topic: http://coldsteelforums.com/tm.aspx?m=86377
