My final sketch, and apologies for crapy upload quality. I really liked how he looked in the book and thought it'd be interesting to have a go. I can tell how much work I need on the basics, like shading and the like >.< He's listed as a Persian Mesopotamia motif.

Nice gryphon.
I was watching a show about how ancient mythical creatures may have come about. It was a cool mix of paleontology and archeology. Apparently triceritops type creatures skulls may have been unearthed in the both fossil rich and gold rich area in ancient china giving rise to the gryphon myth and legend of them guarding gold mines.
