    Well I really can see why you really like this one, it has so much detail everywere, even the horns are all shaded and detailed :o and it certainly looks like a magical creature with so much power and very mysthical ;)

    Quote by volrath77This would be a chimera. Or is it a gryphon? No matter, it's beautifully drawn. I like it. Thanks.

    It kind of reminds me of a chimera :hmpf: anyways, as usual I'm impressed.

    As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I knew this was the drawing you had promised me months ago (seriously, months. It so frickin' sweeeeeeeeeeeet XD !!!!!!! The details are amazing as always, but these are probably the best that I have seen you do yet, and I'm not juts saying that because it's for me (well, maybe alittle). The feathers, especially around the creature's body, are marvelously done, and you can tell you paid a great deal of attention to detailing and shading. The everything looks so fluid, and it has abit of a life-like quality to it. Brilliant workmanship and excellent creative Toujin, thank you so much for this ^uu^ *big hugglez*

    ho it's a really carefully done creature ^_^ i think it's your most detailed original creature. I should say it's a gryphon as i recently saw some images of them ^_^
    The shading style is still magnificient ... you should teach me ^_^ these horns ... gaaah ... too beautiful.
    You have done the body's feathers perfectly. Absolutely the way they have to be for such creature. Looking very very soft. And the lower part of the body respects totally the way it must be too. Lion looking ^_^ So for me it's definately a gryphon ^_^
    The wing remind me the last one you did on your last drawing. Still the same great perspective making the drawing so alive ^_^

    i like also a lot the end part of his tail. It reminds me the dragon's shading you did for me. Very complex ; lots of curves ^^ i'm totally in love with this style ^_^

    i have just a little thing to say ... but it's maybe me who's seeing wrongly. I think you forgot to achieve the second wings. I can saw it but very faded ; like you would have forgotten to ink it.
    But it's really awesome as usual ^_^ It's your style and it's unique. I hope i won't have to wait the 8000hits to see something new from you.

    As for me i decided to do something new for you ... it will maybe be long to do but i'll do it ^_^

    Howdy!

    Alright, it's been a long time since I've been able to see your work. And from this picture I can honestly say, too long! I think you've truely blown away all your fans (yes fans!) with this picture, showing them truely what you're capable of as an artist. As original artwork goes, this is superb. The immediate image strikes with power and expression and the movement is so fluid and life-like that you can't help but almost see it move. The greatest part about this picture as far as I'm concerned however, is the lighting effect. Without the contrast between the light and dark, the sheer depth of the feathers would not be visible. As is, you can almost reach out and feel them and despite it's black and white colouring, the shading allows for the imagination of the viewer to colour it themselves... for example, I see golden yellow (I've never seen colour in a black and white image before, it's cool!) One word comes to mind; Shineeey!

    What else is so great about this picture is the hidden detail of the other wing in the background. This makes it look a lot more realistic and the faded effect, although perhaps a little strong, is a great idea and makes a lot of difference to the overall image. The only downsides are that the wing is as I said a little too faded, which makes the viewer question whether or not it's actually meant to be there and also that the wing stops at the beginning of the foreground wing, to make sure people know it actually exists, it should follow through the rest of the picture to peek out from behind the forground wing at times. Now that I think about it... maybe it's not supposed to be there! ^_^' Well, either way, it may be a good idea for future pictures. ;)

    The only constructive criticism I can find about this picture (except for the mystery wing) is the difference between the top of the body and the bottom. The top is so realistic and detailed that it over-shadows the bottom half, which is odd considering the leg is supposed to be closer to the viewer than the main body. I think, had there been just a slight texture to the fur around the lower body and knee, this could've been avoided. On the other hand, too much detail would've ruined the picture by making it too complex to look at... I guess the key is balance and you've pretty much achieved that here.

    Lastly, I just want to say that the overall picture is amazing and I seriously doubt that anyone, not even yourself (ye of modest tendencies) could say otherwise. This is a definite favourite and I'm sure you'd get a lot of money for the artwork you're currently producing. I'd definitely buy it!... erm... 'cept I have no cash! lol ^_^'

    Great work, Tou.

    Wow! I used to play a lot of role-playing games and I always like fantasy novels (though I calmed down a bit with the years). Anyways the gryphon (or something like this) has always been one of my fav creatures, and that's like the most detailed one I ever saw.It looks like you went completely out on this one XD . Amazing sense of shading, your drawing manages to stay readable with a crazy amount of details.
    My complaint is on the bottom parts, I'm not so much into this pattern design of the tail, though the end is awesome. The very long feathers could use a more progressive shading because they don't blend very well with the small and complex little feathers on the top. The legs and feet could use more work, this way they stick out to much and it affects the balance of the composition. I have a bit the same feeling than XavierCrow, it's almost like the top and the bottom are two different pics. But hey, the rest is flawless and it's definitely a spectacular picture.

    Nice, I've always been more attracted to complicated drawings. this creature remains me of the Chinese lion :pacman:

    Could this be a "chimera" or something like that?
    So much detail - cool!
