Been poking at this the last few days because I kept fine tuning each element XP And I'm almost ready to collapse in exhaustion (and won't be able to sleep in until Thursday to recover the sleep debt).

This is Banü, a flightless hippogryph blend of unicorn/kirin and phoenix, but she doesn't seem to be held down by that at all!

This was done with a mix of prismacolor marker and a little prismacolor pencil with some gel pen.

Originally this was going to be my Christmas card design, but because it's taken so long to do - I'll offer copies this image as my first ever official print on a Christmas discount good for the rest of this year (until midnight/11:59 PM EST on the 31st). This print will be mounted on matte board for stability, personally signed (aside from the signature hiding behind the watermark), printed label on the back, and possibly sealed in lamination (if I can find sleeves large enough). I'll be posting a journal shortly on prices and slots.

Merry (late-ish) Christmas guys!

Careful layering of similar color hues >_> And a light touch of pencil and gel pen.

Lolz yeah I suppose I did which since I've actually just gotten some requests from various people to do some color art I'll probably end up using those tips sooner than I thought.
