I decided to draw a griffon vulture in reference-book realistic style. These birds are rather regal-looking plus I saw them in a dream not long ago.
Decided that I hadn't drawn animals for a long time and was getting rusty.


Used several proto refs for feather coloration.

done in about 2 hrs.

It's certainly very different from the usual subject matter you tackle, and you've handled it excellently. I especially like the head and neck, although personally I'd add a tiny white highlight in the eye.

incredible!!

also vultures are awesome birds...and birds are awesome animals...so they're like the awesomest of awesome...or something...and drawn by you, who - in my slightly less than sane opinion - are an awesome artist, this picture officially broke my scale of awe-inspiring awesomeness. well done.

Well you should draw more real animals/realistic drawings.

I cannot express the jealousy I feel of you... anyway, this is the best realistic vulture I've seen ever.
