So....this may or may not have taken roughly 30 hours or so. Maybe more. I'd set out to keep track, but then photoshop flipped out on me, so i kinda forgot about it...until I downloaded Gimp again. XD
Little "gift" for myself and two of my roommates at SHU. The title is our college's motto....and our mascot is a griffin. XD So, I assumed it appropriate to give their eventual characters a Gryffite form (humanoid with wings, plus the influential cat's tail). We're flying into the suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun. XD Pursuing our goals, a new life, a whole new world in the sun...
Ria and Danzia look a little more blurry than Cali, but that's because I though i only had the jpeg versions of the block colors salvaged. u.u Turns out, Gimp can open PSD files (by the time i figured that out, those two were done, lol) This was a woooonderful challenge for me. I spent over five hours sketching the three of them, separately, going out of my comfort zone with the flying poses. Ria's my least favorite, and the only one I didn't use a ref for, but meh, I think they all turned out well. XP
I haven't been this thrilled with something in a looooong time. XD Hope they like it!
Character Bio's:
Riazza: (top center, Lyndsey) Her typical self, outspoken, a born leader, perverted, and fiesty. Ria feels totally comfortable with the reins of power in almost any situation, and loves having those she loves close to her. She is ambitious, fiercely loyal, and hotheaded, priding herself on being unique and "weird". She is a lioness gryffite, born for the hunt. She will stop at nothing to get what she wants, and to protect her friends.
Danzia: (left, Alexi) A mirror of perfectionism, Danzia excels in many areas of her life. She is a hardcore writer, musician, and dancer, exhibiting a grace that baffles the clumsy Ria to no end. She, like the redhead, has an ambitious and explosive personality, but is putty in the hands of her long time lover, Benasi. As a Siberian tiger gryffite, she is easily excited, but focused.
Cali: (right, Mariah) Mariah is the sweet one of the group thus far. Quiet, and a little shy, she has a special connection to animals and her art. Like the others, she loves a good book, and music to no end. She has a special kind of patience that will lead her to excel in her Art Therapy major. Cali is an ocelot gryffite, for her gentle nature and kind ways.
There. The character bios are certainly subject to change once I get to know the gals better. XP Both are out of town right now. Love ya gals...only a 48 more days till we move in!
