Did some changes and then inked her. She’s now sporting her new design! Finally. Funny how she went back to being really birdy again after going scaly sharkdino. And the brown and blue colour scheme makes a return too with slightly different shades (quite different with the blue though). I also applied a papery texture. Bit of a callback to the initial gryphon design.

Beak bits? No beaky bits?

Raptor body?

Hmmm.

Oh boy, will I ever be satisfied? Well, I hope at some point I will.

I think I’m starting to hit upon something I like better.

Ditched the weird stripes in favor of a colour scheme based off the common kingfisher. Also ditched the fancy head feathers for a more feathery crest instead. Moves the nostrils up front, while the snout is a mix of keratinous beak up front and teeth in the back.
