A quickie that I did today because I felt like drawing something gryphon-ey.

This gal is a combination of Grey Fox and Eurasian Sparrowhawk. Two species that have similar coloring and markings. She was originally going to have Arctic Sunrise Fox colorings, but I thought that a white character that controls ice is way too cliche so I opted for something more natural.

The idea of her being an ice mage stemmed from the last picture I did. In the description I talked about Theran mages who practice a secondary school of magic. In this case, the primary elements air and water combine to form ice. I wanted to try out another seconday element spellcaster.

She was only meant to be a one shot character... but I do like her design. I haven't decided if I'm going to use her for anything else, yet.
