Artist's Comments

I kinda got inspired for this after briefly studying the Terror bird, a giant ancient bird with tiny little wingy-arms. I call it a "Terragryph," though, not because of the "terror" influence, but because the prefix "terra-" means "ground." Hence, flightless gryphon.

Anyway, I'd be thrilled if anyone else made their own Terragryph or somethin', and if anyone wants to color my lineart, Note me and I'll send you a big, uncolored copy. ;)

Wow, I love it! What a creative idea.:) I like how the wings are attached to the arms of the "bird".

Awesome idea. =]
I'd definately love to color in your lineart.
Because I am way too lazy/not good at birds to draw my own. xD
:iconsenaru:
oh wow! Something totally original! I've seen flightless gryphons, but never fused wing arms! Kudos!! |makes a charra |
