Eyes of an Eagle

I was asked if my gryphon picture could be used for upcoming series of videos about legendary creatures. [link] I think this project is a great idea and because my only gryphon picture is two years old, I din't like it so much anymore, so I decided to draw another. I experimented with light a bit. I didn't bother changing brushes, because I was lazy and figured the airbrush suits everything just fine It took me about 11 hours, I think (yep, I think I'm finally getting a little faster with digital art )
And leaves aren't exactly my cup of tea, so I didn't spend os much time with them as I should...
