Cool. Might have been good to use a photo of a snarling dog, though. I just want to scritch this Cerberus behind the ears.

While griffins are most common in the art and lore of Ancient Greece, there is evidence of representations of griffins in Ancient Persian and Ancient Egyptian art as far back as 3,300 BC.[5][6] Most statues have bird-like talons, although in some older illustrations griffins have a lion's forelimbs; they generally have a lion's hindquarters. Its eagle's head is conventionally given prominent ears; these are sometimes described as the lion's ears, but are often elongated (more like a horse's), and are sometimes feathered. The earliest depiction of griffins are the 15th century BC frescoes in the Throne Room of the Bronze Age Palace of Knossos, as restored by Sir Arthur Evans. It continued being a favored decorative theme in Archaic and Classical Greek art. (5 years and 2186 days ago)

The Questing Beast, or the Beast Glatisant (Barking Beast), is a monster from Arthurian legend. It is the subject of quests undertaken by famous knights such as King Pellinore, Sir Palamedes, and Sir Percival.

The Questing Beast is usually depicted as having the body of a leopard, the neck and head of a snake, the haunches of a lion and the feet of a 'hart', or deer. It is commonly supposed that the Questing Beast is actually a fanciful, Arthurian description of a giraffe. (5 years and 2187 days ago)

Two fairies meet a lost puppy in the woods...
An illustration for a children's story book (still working on it).
Painted in Photoshop. No references used, the dog is based on our Newfoundlander, who was a very good and quiet model :) (5 years and 2186 days ago)
