For #Windsonde!

Your young character has met up with some particularly annoying Grandesque youths intent on harassing you. Try to fight them off (you might even get some cool scars) and escape; then go and tell the Queen himself of your exploits.

Milvus, Vakia, Arcadia and Roc had been sent by Grandesque superiors to rope up a fat buffalo for a much anticipated feast. As they flew towards the grazelands in search of the buffalo herd, Arcadia spotted a familiar Skrekrill face. She recalled the Skrekrill's gullibility in her first encounter with him [link] .
"Hurry," she said to the others, "down to that stand of trees!" The young gryphons formulated a plan to bring down the Skrekrill and hid in place.

Dom lumbered through Grandesque territory, looking to pick up something for lunch. Nearing a small copse of trees, he froze at the sight of a large tan gryphon, whose orange eyes shone with challenge.
Dom charged! Closing in on the tan gryphon, who hadn't moved, his foot caught on something! Dom flipped upsidedown and landed heavily on his back. He lay in the grass stunned while he heard laughing gryphons take off into the air.

Whoohoo! I'm so glad to have finally finished this! I never would've thought I'd have the patience to finish a piece this big. Half the time I was fighting with photoshop over the coloring style, which I'm not completely satisfied with, but after a month of working on this, a compromise was in order.

It was fun to draw other people's gryphons Here they are from left to right:
