More from ~aburnier

The WallMoss encases each stone,
Caressing the rough, burdened edges with the embrace of life.
A story hides in the shapes of those walls,
Emblazoned in their archaic forms like a tongue of flame,
Tasting words now lost to memory.

The tale they desperately wish to narrate is but half-spoken,
Broken like splintered sunlight through crest-fallen leaves.

This monument of stone steeped in the ancient earth,
Would appear to the naked eye, a place of little purpose.
But there is placement in these rocks,
An aura of determination still thrives through the sweat and blood,
of those who put them here.

And as bracing as these walls seem,
They are

The evil counterpart for the legendary griffin of light. His very essense is made of shadow and it trails off behind him as he flies.

This griffin is odd... it is more lion than bird, while the classic griffin is more bird than lion... anywho, this guy came out Awesome and took a long, long, LONG time to do (about 13 or more hrs).

Special thanks to :icongunnerromantic: for insperation on wing and background design.

^^ Very, very awesome! I love your arts, man!

I can only assume you did this all by tablet. A little word of advice though--always, ALWAYS remember how to use your pencil and your mouse! okay, that's all i had to say...

cuz.... i got advice from an artist at comic con and he said that people who usu tablets usually forget how to draw on paper correctly, because drawing on a tablet is so different from drawing on a paper (you've got photoshop, layers, unlimited colors, good erasing, etc....). and the mouse--if you used a mouse before, always remember how to use it, just in case you dont have a tablet or something... yeah, i dun actually know much about the mouse part, but it comes in handy.
