I wanted to make some gryphons based on real birds, keeping as close to their colourations as possible. From left to right, top to bottom, there's a kestrel, blue jay, barn owl and ruby-throated hummingbird. I'll probably do more because they are sooo much fun to paint. I also tried to give their feline parts a different body type at times (kestrel + cheetah, blue jay + snow leopard, barn owl + snow leopard and hummingbird + house cat).
I want to paint the blue jay again, but in flight, because the most colourful part (the top part of their wings) is mostly hidden in this pic T_T

OMG DINOSAUR DRAGONS FFFFFF SO AMAZING :O!!!!
The alternative to these guys is basing their markings more off their feline half (so tiger stripes, leopard spots, etc.). I decided to go with birds though 'cuz they're so colourful and I love birdies. I've seen some gryphs based off real birds but not very many.

I have so much love for the barn owl gryphon~
You've blended the two species very well and the fluff around the feet makes my heart melt. <3
And it must've taken courage drawing that owl tail in combination with the feline tail, I would've been too afraid of ruining it to add that.
But you've made it go together so well. I envy your bravery in art, if that makes sense. <.< lol
