Feathers and Flame and Lion's Breath- ultimateman Request
An attempt to clear my conscience.
...
Two years ago
ultimateman contacted me with a request.
"...my request is that i would like you to turn my avatar which is a punky anthro dragon with purple highlighted blonde hair into a gryphon...
Now, an eternity later, I've finally plucked up the courage to tackle it. And fail... (I've rediscovered the fact that I can't draw dragons- Not to mention: an arrow? Really?!) Please pardon my negative attitude, I don't know where its coming from... Unfortunately I'm still too cowardly and foolishly impatient to contact the user, (whom I'm not even sure still visits FA) with a request for further details as they initially offered to provide. I don't even have a name...
All my stupid drama aside, and preferably burned and buried never to see the light of day again- I'm also using this as a springboard into posting again. In the month or so hiatus from posting I've accumulated a couple of images.
I'll get on posting those soon.

Good to see you're still around, Koopus. Hope things are going alright on your end...
But, I guess I shouldn't bring up the drama right here, and should evaluate your hard work...which I think you handled the request rather well. The Before and After approach I think works here, and I think you draw dragons quite well, especially since there isn't a "standard" style/look, and everyone on FA has their take on it, and yours is just as unique. Back on the transformation aspect, I like the fact that this was a change in your usual MO, and the dragon (Before) form is in fact smaller then the Gryphon (After) form, and show it in the new leonine form as well as shifting from the reptilian wings to the far more expansive, feather avian wings. Two other cute little details I thought we cool was the loss of the snout-ring (that would feel rather uncomfortable with one who has a beak), and the other was the purple tinged hair shifts to purple tipped feathers flying about in a nervous shedding (or is it molting, now ;p).
In short, I think, for as long as it took for you to fulfill the request, I think you did well by ultimateman's request. Good work Koopus =3
