Diving into a more traditional fantasy style character, we have a griffon as part of the enemies you’ll face early on in the game.

The griffon was one of the first enemy characters I sketched out in a truly massive sketch. I had to put together a couple of pieces of paper because I underestimated just how big the drawing I was working on was going to be.

Here’s the original sketch. This is back in my earliest days of drawing out characters for this project, so notice that I’ve drawn it in pen and taped papers together for the complete look.

Even though it was an early sketch, I felt I nailed it with the first go around, but made some tweaks to it in doing the final digital coloring. Added a few different shades of brown into the wings to give a little bit of texturing there. In doing so, I ended re-drafting where one wing began and the other one ended.

This was the final result.

Overall, I felt the final look turned out pretty decent! Once the first section of this story is hammered out and programmed, you’ll get your chance to go up against this thing in battle.
