playing around with color on an old gryphon concept

Sketch Page 866 - Gryphon Repaint

 New

Old

I couldn't think of what to paint and I'm really tired of studies so I grabbed an old painting from two years ago in April to repaint.  The old one was 'stylized' to the point that its anatomy was completely broken so for the new one I heavily referenced photos online.  It definitely helped and I also found some points that I need to reference/learn about more such as wings, paws, bird heads...  ok everything, really.

Hey, dude.  Bro.  Check this out.  I actually did what I said I would do!  :U  I started coloring the gryphon, as promised several posts ago.

This is a WIP

I was going to make his wings black but then I realized he looked too much like the ebon gryphons from World of Warcraft so I changed them up a bit.  I actually like them more now.

Aww I've posted so very little images for this month.  Work has been taking up a good chunk of my time.  I've noticed that I have a hard time working on personal stuff while having a job where I draw all day.  Not that I mind; my job is awesome. <3

For some reason I really want to play with color.  I'd like to take these two sketches and give em a go in Photoshop.  Maybe play around with a blue-black/brown/yellow color scheme for the gryphon.

These sketches are from right before the end of the year and right after.

^I re-drew one of my characters, Sol.  You can see what he used to look like here: http://razzen.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=Sol#/d10yrlw

And these guys are the first sketches I have drawn in 2012!  Good luck, critters, you are the harbingers of DOOM.
