It was so weird to draw. He's never had a look of true badassery about him up until this point. XD

My bet's on Kedamono :>

That's a safe bet, he's the Main Character afterall.

Oh man, I totally love the way you draw these gryphons. They just look so badass and totally wicked. And Kedamono's face in the first panel looks great! I love how well you do emotion! <3

Thank you. I try.

um... I'm probably not the only one to notice this, but in the first and second pannels, the wind is blowing in the same direction (to the right) when facing Keda and the gryphon...

WHOOPSIE

ah well, looks awesome anyway. I'd just say the wind shifted suddenly, causing it to merely Look like you made a mistake

It's on Purpose, Honest :)

Too late! I've already cast Photoshop magic upon it.

MORAL: Never stop laughing at yourself.

Aww... oh well, go Photoshop Magic :)

And that's a good moral too

GO KEDAMANO!!!!!!

This is the ultimate showdown~

This showdown is merely the tip of the showdown iceburg!

I've always liked your gangster griffins. :>

They have a certain appeal, I'll admit. X3

You're the only one I know with griffin love :3

Gryphon love is the only true love.*

*limited to love of avian/lion hybrids

Lol, you crazy RT you X3

Nice haircut Nickle >w>;

It looks like big daddy griffin it about twice the size of the other griffins, Is he really that large or was that done for dramatic effect?

Daddy has gigantism, so that dramatic difference in height was intentional.

If Kedamono does not bust out some hax moves, I will be disappointed.

You shall simply have to read and see what unfolds!

I really love how you choose the color, May I ask how?
Brilliant as always ^^b

Probably just dumb luck. X3

If it was then I'd wish I'll be as lucky as you then XP

Bets eh... well my money is going on the gryphon due to experience, but it's hard to say. Personally I think Nickles is in for a bit more then he can chew as he has a bit of a ego about him.

lol nickles's haircut. If I were there I may have burst out laughing when he took off his hat. lol nothing screams bad ass then parted hair! Lmao! But I love your work so much! keep it up!

Wow, likeing this comic very much~

Who did Nickles think was going to pay out those bets? I know what they are betting on. But who's the bank?

The other griffins appear and they all bet on Nickles, but until the blonde griffin (assistant 1?) decides to bet his life insurance on Kedamono afterwards (presumably the pay out now, should Nickles win), there doesn't seem to be anyone putting up anything against all the bets on Nickles.

So like, lets say Assistant 1 and 2 didn't get in. Everyone bets on Nickles. If Nickles wins they... just get back their money? Or was Nickles going to pay them extra himself? (If so why'd he put a bet on it?)

Maybe I'm missing something? Like, if he thought any of the other griffins would bet against him? Or is there some kind of betting system going on?

The Zapatos gang has a lottery-and-betting pool from which the funds would have been drawn from (which is fed from both losing bets and a small lottery "tax" on their income). Even if no one bet against Nickles, they still could have collected upon returning to the compound. The bet type is set at even money (ex: a $10 bet would have a $20 total payoff) unless otherwise noted. Since #1 put up his money, the funds would have been split evenly between all of Nickles' betting parties in the event that Kedamono lost (he would have also been killed, but that's the way it goes with life insurance payouts).

Aaah, I was wondering about that.
