An anthro lupine gryphon, a royal guard to the Empress herself. The "bird" part of this character is a mix between a red shouldered-hawk, a red-tailed hawk, and a ferruginous hawk. The mammal part is a regular gray wolf, which shows up in the ears, eyes, and "pads" on the hands. The lower half of the body would be wolf as well.

Wow, that's spectacular! Amazing detail in the background as well as the character! The feathers, jewelry, weaponry, background... Everything looks great and wonderfully executed. Awesome job on this one, my friend.

Anyone can negatively criticize - it is the cheapest of all comment because it requires not a modicum of the effort that suggestion requires.

Nice stuff, Goldenwolf. I feel particularly drawn in the picture to the things that seem a bit periphery, like the crest in/above the window and the staff. You've layered detail upon detail into this picture, and the only place I see that seems not to have the care-staking craft etched into it is the view through the window, which has a perfect logical reason for not being as detailed (focus).

It's not easy being insane. But I'm willing to do what it takes...
Besides without people like me, all the normal people would lead such boring lives.
