Aaannnndd...Here's Temp! Or, rather, Aurcoralu Lightwave ForgeTemper, "Temp" for short. And just sos y'all know, his name is "Temper" the verb (as in, to temper steel or glass), not the noun. Grr homonyms...

Anyhow, when I'm drawing gryphons on my own and not intentionally splicing two animals, this is what I get. Temp here is basically a "breed standard" for my own gryphon species...more about them later, I think. Temp is not actually a character from my novel series; think of him more as a substitute.

Actually, that's exactly what he is. I've been modeling my gryphon characters in 3-D in the program LightWave, and Temp is my "Template" (the actual origin of his name...I swear not all of my chars' names are this derivative, sorry ) for all the others; a base form to alter to fit each individual gryphon. He sort of became a character of his own as I was working on him, though...so although he isn't a main character, he's still getting a cameo or two. In the meantime...enjoy the really crappy ref, haha! I had fun with this...I luff my sketchy lil' gryphs.
