Description
It's that time of year again!Β Solstice and her friends have returned to spread of bit of festivity throughout the forest, and this year she decided if that bearded guy in a red suit could use a sleigh to carry all those goodies, so could she!Solstice has been featured on my holiday card since 2008, so 2013 makes it her fifth year!
Watercolor on hot-press Fabriano, 8 X 11 inches

This looks so much better, a mighty Gryphon pulling Santa's sleigh instead of 8 raindeer who aren't even supposed to fly, this Will be looking so much cooler! Awesome ππππ

Can I call the animal leading the sleigh a "lycanogryph" since it's not exactly a gryphin? :3

Or wait... "feligryph..." I ain't sure if it's part wolf or cat, sorry...

Solstice is half raptor (hawk-inspired) and half cougar :3Β So she would be a 'gryphon', though not a traditional eagle-lion type.

AAAAAAAAAAAH
Okai.
This is the first I saw of your work, so I thought Solstice was the pretty fox on the sleigh.
And at first glance her ears and lower body look a bit wolf-ish. :3

Aw thanks :3 and to think, back in 2008 she was just a generic 'winter gryphon' and didn't even have a name!
