Ahhhh, fur cons, the place I discovered artists would draw silly little creatures doing silly little things with a silly little idea of payment for it.
Ahhhh Megaplex, the fastest growing furcon in Florida, I believe also in America (Someone please fact-check me and post in comments)
Ahhhh the artist's den, where folks sit around for hours and hope someone musters the courage to pull their wallet out and ask for art, or they'll grab a business card and never ask your for commissions
Ahhhh ToonFX, the lovely bubbly man that was so happy to draw my birb, so giddy whenever I walked past his booth. He never had a frown on his face, so animated when discussing positions for him to be in, so just full of life
This is the other image that I base my designs of Gryph on, it's just a perfect representation of his fluff and the general good looks he has. Cuteness, naivety, happiness, just everything done in the proper toon style he was born in.

Gryph is mine
Background black is the Airport I took the photo in
