Fumei
Had a lot of anxiety abut this one before I ever put pencil to paper. Spent all day yesterday studying bird heads, this only caused me more anxiety. Once I made my self sit down and face the blank white paper, it came together very fast. I did some experimenting with a new technique I learned and man I can see the difference! This was done with 2H, and 4B Staedler Lumographs, 6B Graphite stick, 2H General's Charcoal Pencil, and a Soft General's Carbon Sketch Pencil. Eraser Stick, and Kneaded Eraser on Bristol paper... The spots and feather textures were the biggest trouble for me, Fumei being a very cute Snow Leopard Gryphon (Spots and Feathers)... I took some liberties and added a striped scarf to give my self more of a headache and more depth.

Jeeeez man, where do you find enough room to store all this talent?! For the price I was expecting some quick toony thing (and was fine with that, since your toony stuff is adorable) -- getting this instead is kinda mind-blowing. *chuckles* Honestly don't know what to say beyond "this is amazing" and "thanks!" The texturing on all those feathers is photo-real, and the scarf is as adorable as it is unexpected! I love it, seriously, thank you so much.
This is STUNNING!!! I could not believe you charged 12$ for this...but after reading your response to another commenter, I see how that happened. Still, for the amount of time, effort and skill involved with these, you deserve 5 times the amount you charged, if not more. GAH! This is beautiful!!
