Here is my first PYO griffin finally completed. I’ve had him since May or June of last year, but only started on him a few weeks ago! He took me about 3 full weekends to complete. He was all handpainted with matte and metallic acrylics, and has 2 layers of satin varnish. The varnish has a slight gloss… but not extreme. His face has touches of pearly white, and all his blue feathers are tipped with metallic black. The eyes are pink, and I signed the bottom pad.
He was quite a challenge, but I really enjoyed painting him. I will probably do more, because I love birds of prey.
Here are some pics. There are several here showing different angles. He does not photo well, and I had a heck of a time trying to get his true colors to show! But these are pretty close though. I’ll be taking offers on him for the next few days. If you want additional pics… please PM me, and I can e-mail them.
Thanks! 😀
