A hand drawn, computer coloured griffin and the pets from Yayster's Pet Shop

[YayBoromir!]

Or gryphon, griffon, however you want to spell it. lol I am quite pleased with this picture - I drew it by hand, then coloured it in on PSP7. It's supposed to have a smug expression, which I think turned out quite well.

Ohh Yay! That is beautiful!!!!
Yes that is a very smug expression - the look in the eye and the curve of the beak.
Tell what I really like, the bit at the end of the tail - such little wittle detail in there makes it look real great :grin:

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

It's great! You're a marvel at PSP7 huh? Maybe you ought to post up the pic you did for Winyatiri too :thumbs:

[YayBoromir!]

Thanks Nessa and Win!

Your a great artist YayB.
I love the pics. The facial expression of your griffon is priceless and at the pic of Winyatiri you could see the speed of the horse really well.
Great stuff :thumbs:

[Kenzie]

ooo they're both great yayster!! i lov em!!

[Nessa the Dancer]

That horse is beautiful Yay!
Love the mane and tail, looks like they are being blown in the wind.

Illu showed me the pic you did of his dragon - that is a brilliant pic as well, you are really talanted.

Hey if your gonna be posting up the different piccies - you want me to change the title of the thread to incorporate that?

[Frodo's Love]

Yayster...I bow to thee! notworthy
You're a true talent! :thumbs:

Perhaps you could also post Malkalina, Mocha's eagle? That's a great one, too... :)

[YayBoromir!]

If you would like to change the topic title, Nessa, that's fine with me! I have another thread called "My LoTR art" but I decided to post this separate because it isn't LoTR.

Malk, Mocha's eagle:

[Nessa the Dancer]

Beautiful!!!! I love those wings!!! And the colour shading on the breast and on the wings.

Okay I'll go change the title - and you can use this thread to post all the other pets as well - which I hope you do, they are all so beautiful!!!

[Kenzie]

[A! Elbereth]

Oh, those are wonderful, Yay! I love Digital Art! I really like the griffon!

I do art like this too, but sadly, mine are of random animals that probably wouldn't fit with wotr.net. lol

[Kenzie]

[Lady Ashley]

Those are lovely pictures of the pets. Very well done, YayB!

[YayBoromir!]

Thanks Nessa, Kenzie, AE! and Lady Ashley! I just finished another picture of a dragon which I'm really pleased with, but I can't scan it in atm :( (installing Windows XP downstairs).
Yeah AE! show us your art I really want to see! :thumbs:

[YayBoromir!]

Got access to the scanner, here's Win's dragon, Brassen Lach (in a different colour to what she said but blue was easier to shade than purple ;))

[Nessa the Dancer]

Awwwww Yayster that is Beautiful!!!!!
Love those wings with the different layers of colour and that fluffy tail!

[Ereinion]

Wow, Yay! The unicorn is amazing! Love the dedication!

[YayBoromir!]

Thanks Nessa and Ereinion! :blush: I really appreciate it! :grin: I wanted to go for a magical look, so I made the feathers on the wings change colour as they lengthened :) I think it turned out reasonably well!

[Nessa the Dancer]

Reasonablyyyyyy???? You underestanate yourself, it's Fantastic!!! And it's great that you've done the same kind of thing with the horn as well rather than just having it all gold, it adds that air of magic and enchantment!
You have a real talant girl!!!

[YayBoromir!]

Awwwww, thanks, Nessa! ^_^ You people make it all worthwhile! :grin: :cuddles: I generally have trouble with backgrounds so I tend to leave them either blank or have a very simple background, like the one I used on this picture. Does anyone else have trouble with backgrounds?

[Elfdaughter]

I would swear but I can't .....wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowow!!!!!!!

[Nala Greenleaf]

That is beautiful!!! must of taken you a good amount of time to do!!

[YayBoromir!]

Awww...thanks Elfdaughter and Nala Greenleaf! *hugs* I'm so glad you like that picture! Hopefully I'll have more art to show soon!

[Elfdaughter]
