A commission for Fumei of his gryphon-self. Unfortunately due to a bit of misunderstanding on my part, I translated his colors and markings too closely to that of a real snow leopard; they should be more cool grey.
Ink, Prismacolor Markers, and a touch of white ink on 8.5" x 11" grey marble cardstock.
I'm sure Fumei won't mind terribly that the colors aren't exactly right~ I know I don't (but then again it's not my character.) This is marvelous; his back paws are adorable, also. I think the tail is too fluffy for a snow leopard, though, or something. It doesn't seem quite right to me, but it still looks good nonetheless. I'm also diggin' the foreshortening on the wing. Outlining the footprints in the snow makes them look more like dark lumps than holes, though. But then again, without the outline they might look just as odd. Hmm. -shrug-
ooo! nice pose. I really love the snow leopord spotting and how you pulled the colors and pattern into the wings. how the inking and the water color work together to get that fur look is really cool. I just keep staring at it.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
