Happy Easter to all. I hope you all are well.

While mulling over a few sketches I’ve done and which ones to bring to light after the next one for a friend as well as a major project I plan to do, I went back and looked at some old comments from an ‘Ask’ that has sadly been abandoned by me. There was one that was asked by my friend Nittany-Tiger that was suppose to have been done last year, but due to my job and constant bombardment of procrastination and the coming of the MLP show-style Hippogriffs (lead by the likes of Silverstream, Terramar, Sky Beak & Seaspray), my ‘Asks’ were put on hold and basically ‘forgotten’. There was also a couple of sketches I did that was to be answered to Nittany, but I could not get the pose I had for Sunfyre right. Dejected, I decided to wait until I got better.

Several weeks ago when I looked back at Nittany’s question, I felt I could try again and worked on a new sketch. But with Easter coming I held off from completing it until Easter came. I didn’t count on my job draining nearly all of my energy the last 5 days and didn’t start to scan the sketch and draw it until earlier today. so basically you can say this is Nittany’s question getting answered.

The tiger-like griffon? Oh, he’s a new O/FC. Meet Gareth, and he’s both Sunfyre’s friend as well as the bane to his existence (next to his mom Gail Wyndstrom). I had wanted to make Gareth for an awfully long time since last June but never got around to it. Gareth’s the friendly sort…too friendly if you get my meaning. Anywho, I hope you all enjoy this, and I hope to do more of Gareth in the future.
