😀 Thanks, WSC! That helps me a lot, actually. I had been waffling over the neck feather patterning because it turned out a lot brighter than I thought it would. But it’s been well-received. I’m very happy about that because it was fun to put the colors together and now I have good reason to do more of that kind of thing. 😀
The yellow . . . oh, that yellow! 😆 It started out really bright, “Aack!”-level bright. I hope I can remember what all I splashed onto him to tone it down! But it is a nice happy shade and plays well with others.
The wings . . . hmm. I tried dry-brushing some areas, but I seem to be a bit of an idiot when it comes to dry-brushing. 😳 On the big flight feathers, I ended up glazing the oranges and reds over a base coat of yellow, and that worked better. The green striping was just done with thinned green laid down with a liner.
Now I’m going to go hunt through your gallery for your banded-neck griffin. 🙂
