...and I thought how you did fur was talented. o.o

I'm fully enraptured by how crisp and detailed the edges of the feathers and the detailing on the eyes are. It's so pleasant to look at; like a well-done piece of photography, I just want to drink in all the details.

Also, I wanna hug that little griphlet so much!! >.<

That fuzzy baby is so insanely cute! :) Great job!

I don't know how you did it, but this is soooo pretty! I love the baby fuzz and the eyes standing out from the background and bodies.

That's amazing. o.o How'd you get it to look so realistic?

It's a giant file...the adult gryphons eye takes up a good chunk of the screen. And over a month of work. X3

oh damn.... barely could stop drooling at the image quality... ÔvÔ;;;

I knew I'd see you here.

Heh, duh.

Oh, I love the baby... I have a novel-in-progress that features a gryphlet. Now I have more of a visual reference as to what he might really look like. :)

Wow... `ovo` *at a loss for words*

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYM!

The lighting on this one helps add to the realistic detail, and really screams 'photograph' quality. Outstanding work!

Just beautiful. Faved too.

o_O lighting on head floof. It looks so real. <3

This is beautiful!!!! I can't draw feathers to save my life! XD

This has amazing detail!! This must have taken you forever!

Over a month of work. Off and on, but still, yeah, seemed like forever. :3

Wow.
Bravo.

Now I bet you this picture could be posted to an issue of Nat Geo Magazine or another wildlife mag, and I'm sure that some readers would be FOOLED into thinking that this is an actual real photograph, such is the magniecient quality of this painting. =3

I'm very much in awe of your talent and am very honoured to be viewing your work here on FurAffinity.

Brilliant! :)

*ChaosCat*

I am honored to receive such a compliment. Thank you!

Awe, very cute!

Great lighting, too!

Okay. Some folks, especially some of the blowhards on conceptart.org would start whining that there's no background, but I say screw that. (they'd probably also start whining that it doesn't have anything to do with Halo or Bioshock or Blizzard. I swear I'm not bitter towards that site.) There's something to be said about pieces that involve the subject and the subject ALONE, an elegance, especially in this. With the attention to detail and personality, you believe that these are living, breathing creatures. That's what this picture sets out to do, and it does. For the win.

This is simply amazing. I can't believe how realistic the feathers are!

I've never seen such a cute baby! :)

those feathers are unbelievable. I want to reach out and ruffle them, they look so fluffy and inviting! would surely have my finger snapped in half but hey. The black background really sets this off, I would LOVE to see a higher res version or some detail shots. I want this as my desktop!!

exquizite!

Well that's just bloody amazing work! The lighting through the feathers is very nice, and I love those blue eyes, they go so well with the rest of the body colour.

That is fantastic! So realistic. Makes you truly believe.

Indeed. Truly exceptional.

Wow! Your art is amazing! Keep up the good work.

PS: What do you use, and how long does it take? And how many layers do you use, and what filters?

Thank you! I use Painter. I think this was 3 or 4 layers. And, I never use filters.

Oh Corel painter!

Some claim it's better than photoshop.

It depends what you are going after! I prefer it because it acts like real media and I can use paper textures and smooshy colors that blend together like paint, and the watercolor tool is fabulous. Painting Photoshop feels weird to me, though its image editing tools are superior. I do all color corrections in Photoshop.

I've tried both. I feel that Corel painter wasn't as user friendly (Though I've heard the argument the other way), Photoshop I feel is alot more my style though.

This has got to be one of the cutest gryphon pictures I've ever seen.

Criminy. That has got to be the cutest and most lifelike baby gryphon I have ever seen. o..o

This is nice

Just beautiful, almost like something out of National Geographic.

Awww, the baby is so cute. You have a lot of good art.

Absolutely stunning!

I think one of the reasons you're so much better than everyone else, putting aside incredible skill and practice, is because you spend so long on pieces, going over each and every little detail, a lot of people, including myself, try to go too quickly and finish before they start!

How sweet!

Beautiful <3
