Heyla! I feel very silly because i bought my PYO back in the summer and only now am i getting around to painting it heh heh
So here’s my progress shot after about two painting sessions, probably about 6 hours total
I’m going for the coloration of my Sunhawk self, i believe some people call that their fursona? Anyway, i want the colouration to be like a sunbeam and near the end i hope to add some subtle interference so that you also get an impression of light coming through a prism ^_^
I’ve been taking progress pics almost out of fear because i sometimes worry that at the end of a session, i’ll look at it and go “CRAP CRAP CRAP! ARG RUINED!!” LOL So far so good! This is one of the soft-feather gryphons, i’m really interested to paint one of the sharper feathered ones after this. The first coat i did was of just yellow as a base coat/wash and i was amazed by all the detail as i let my brush act like tiny fingers for me, feeling all the surfaces and textures. I am superimpressed by the level of realism on a level that’s very different from just the visual, oh i am not worthy!! LOL
Been a few minute mistakes that i’ve had to fix, such as accidently getting newspaper ink on certain parts as i tried to move the gryphon around to get at hard to reach areas – beware loose inks on your tabletop! >_< Here i was trying to not make a mess! LOL
Anyway, i thought i’d post a few progress shots so that i can keep motivated to finish the piece ^_^ I’m using entirely acrylic because i have a fairly large selection of Golden and other brands from my time at uni taking painting classes heh heh ^_^ After i took these pics, my next session dealt with adding details and picking out specific feathers more, deepening the orange on the back towards Cadmium Red mixed with a bit of Raw Sienna to keep it from being a bit too garish 😀
He would match perfect in my office. Of course if you went in there he would be hard to find. I like it so far, can’t wait for more pics.
I like the brightness. It stands out from the natural colorings of birds and cats. How much more work until he’s done?

Thank you 😀 I almost made him into a red-tailed hawk colouration but then i went “screw it, bright colours all the way!” LOL
Hmmmmmm, the next session i’ll probably do a few more touch ups and then start doing the thin layers of interference i have in mind and then i’ll decide whether to mask the eyes and use a gloss spray on him or whether to use glossy gel medium with a bit of self-leveling gel to eliminate the brushstrokes. So two more sessions probably? Another 4-6 hours?

Yes it is. I need sunglasses to go in there, but it makes me smile.It’s going to be beautiful!! I can’t wait to see it when it’s done!
Somebody needs to bust out with a bright yellow griff, tho – one that will stay all yellow, I mean! Not enough sunny yellow griffs! ^_^"He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom."

Arlla, want to see my first griff? I showed pics of it on the LJ but never worked up the courage to share here. Chessie said it looked like a Palomino griffen.
While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!

I was almost tempted to leave him just shades of yellow but I had to try my hand at different colours, i need colour, the more colours the better! LOL
