Description Well, this started out as an innocuous little class doodle, but practically demanded that I color it, and I finally found the time to do so.

Her wings are that of an African sea eagle, which are absolutely beautiful birds (I have seen one in person). Her body is sort of a mix of leopard and lion (sphinxes don't have to be taxonomically accurate).

"Couldn't I just... pay you?"
"Do I look like I have a purse for holding coins?"
"You have a shirt."
"It doesn't have pockets."
"Ugh!Β  Fine!Β  What's the first riddle?"
"What do you call a man who thinks a Sphinx needs money?"
"...Is it 'an idiot?'"
"Correct."
"I'm guessing you're going to insult me with every riddle, aren't you?"
"I've become a bit... salty... over the years."

β€œYeah, well, if it will cheer you up, I’m diabetic. So if I can’t beat you, you should find my blood very sweet”

Kind of reminds me of Mrs Frizzle from magic School Bus for some reason.

I think it's the hair.

Every time I see a sphinx, I can't help but think that they must be so specially confused. It's like... "Do I hunt antelope? Do I dive for mice and cats? Do I roost?" Etc.

Love her rock and her dialogue.

Haha, you make a good point there.

And thanks!

Whaaat, I did not practically demand. I suggested. And I am very glad you took my suggestion! This made me giggle (again) when I saw it...the dialogue and the little flip of the wrist just make her look so perfectly bored.

I love that she's not your usual gryphon, but has also the leopard spots. And African sea eagles really are beautiful, although I have not seen one in person. Great work!

Sorry, when you say "you should" I tend to take that as a demand. Ah well, I had fun with it.

I wanted to make her distinct from my Lethian sphinxes; she's more of the Greek-mythology variant.

Haha! I love it! Imagine that. Usually Sphinxes are all "mystical and ethereal" but this one, no, it's said that so many times that she's bored and just wants to get through it. Maybe get a milkshake when her shift is over. XD

Awesome work, misao! I love the colouring! This looks so good! β™₯

She must be from the Valley of the Kings. Cause she speaks like a valley-girl.
