Last night I sketched my rememberance of it down on paper and colored it with markers and prisma pencils. I know it isn't exactly like the one on the movie but I didn't have a reference to study at home so this was my version. The idea is still the same though. (smiles)
"My Hippogryph" click for larger image
Enjoy! (smiles)

Here is one definition I found pertaining to a game:
| Quote |
| Hippogryphs are ancient, magical beasts whose bodies resemble both stags and ravens. |
Though here, is like the one on the movie:
Hippogryph
Another version inspired by the Harry Potter series:
another hippogryph
I believe I need to redo mine and give it its wings. (smiles)

Yes, I did notice they come in all different combinations when I went looking on the internet. I do have to start remembering to put in my wings! I left them out on another piece I did.
I will probably go back over both of them and put in the wings with the acrylics. not sure yet though.Yes, I wanted it to be bright and I thought the color purple would stand out. (smiles)

) but I have just seen Harry Potter and I was somewhat scaried by its choice in food!

BTD, yes, I know. I ignored that part when I was creating the pic. I just liked the character as it was part horsey! (giggles) So since you saw the movie, you got the reference to the pumpkins in the background? (smiles)
Usually I don't worry about what the character has a taste for when creating it. I don't show any of them eating! (giggles)
Well, I will be drawing a certain otter eating pizza when I get the chance though. (smiles)

Whay medium do you use? Acrylics?
Anyways, have you ever thought about doing some pictures on black paper? Sometimes using dark colored paper gives a certain richness that cannot be accomplished with lighter colored paper, and I am a bit curious to see what your work would look like on it.
Post by: Kada-Ru on July 30, 2004, 02:32:49 pm
Ulario, I did that one with markers and prisma pencils. I will be working on using acrylics more in the future.
I have done some work on black paper with oil pastels and really liked the results:
"Clouded Leopard" click for larger image
"Snarling Jaguar" click for larger image
"Jaquar Bath" click for larger image
"Wolf's Stare" click for larger image
"My first Gryffon" click for larger image
"The King" click for larger image ( colored with Prisma pencils)
I do plan on creating more in the future with the black background with acrylics. I think they would be awesome!

I don't know much about acrylics but isn't there something you can buy to restore the ones that dried up? I'm sure adding water wouldn't work like it does for watercolors...
Post by: Kada-Ru on October 21, 2004, 09:23:44 pm
MD, yes I know. I stated that I forgot the wings when I did the piece and that I will be adding wings at a later date. Thanks though. That's the proper spelling?

I don't know about that. I have yet to be impressed with any of the cover illios on the Harry Potter books.

No, that would be a Phelddagrif or perhaps a Questing Phelddagrif.
(For those that don't know, that creature type was made up for that game. "Phelddagrif" is actually an anagram for "Garfield P.H.D.", a nod to the game's creator.)

I think that's "beckon call" isn't it? I mean, what the is "beck"? Anyways, I agree with Patrick about the cover art. Not very impressive.

Sounds like it could be interesting.... I will have to think of a way to contact her and approach her with the subject. *chews fingernails our of nervousness*

I love the mix of textures and colors.
