Cheetah Griffin Pics

[soc_puppet]

At long last, pictures of my cheetah griffin.

Taking a chance and posting all the pictures here because it's still relatively close to the beginning of the month. I still expect a nagging e-mail from PhotoBucket a few days into September month about how I'm nearing my bandwidth limit for August 9_9a



And here it is, my cheetah!griffin in all its glory.

I'm still debating whether I'm actually going to list it on Etsy; of all my griffins so far, this one is definitely my favorite. The colors work beautifully together (the orange of its beak and forelegs, the pale yellow of its body, the black trim, the pink cere, the little white stripes on its tail), and I love how well the pattern turned out, even if I did have to individually glue the spots on both sides of its wings. I'm both proud of and pleased with it.

At the same time, I do need the money, and if someone absolutely falls in love with it, well, who am I to stand in the way of true love when I can always make another one? (No matter how much of a pain those wings were...) Maybe if I mark the price up to $65 instead of the usual $50 or the $60 I'd been planning on (for extra work involved).

Whatever I decide, I'm really glad I made it and really, really happy with how it turned out.


Bonus pics! Here are some of the "cat charms" I made, with some of the attachment options shown: Front, Back. From left to right: Hair clip, magnet, pin, keychain.

Also, here is that amazing leather mask I traded my white griffin for, made by Squirrel Creek Creations. I now totally want a stylistically similar corset and a flowy green dress to wear with it.

Spottyburd! \o/

The colors are beautiful, and the pattern is awesome, and the orange and pale yellow do coordinate very well.

That mask is glorious too. Yum.

Aaaahh! The wings turned out lovely! What an adorable griff. :D

Ze's done! Yay! \o/

I personally really like the green eyes with the light yellow, but that is totally the perfect orange to use with my griffins.

It is so glorious, OMG. It's actually a teensy bit small on me, but whatever, I love it too much to care.

I'd push it up to seventy, my self. That looks like it took a lot more work than the usual dragons, and believe me, if someone really loves it they'll pay the extra. (Just bought a rather expensive piece of art myself because it was so beautiful.)

It's really adorable too! The cat charms are really nice. You're really talented.

Ooo, I like this plan. I think I may do this.

Thanks!
