Medieval Zoo










I've had this idea to do a zoo set in the middle ages for a while. I wrote down a couple of mythical animals that I would like to flesh out and the first two are the Naga and Griffin. A Naga comes from Buddhist (and Hindu?)lore and is a snake-like creature that can have multiple heads. And a Griffin is a creature with an eagle's head and lion's body.

I put the pictures in the order I drew them, I started warming up my drawing hand and becoming more creative (at least I think) nearer to the end.

Drawing beaks is fun!

Nice Ed! I love these! It's great to see some of your stuff again. I miss it haha. I love those Griffins especially. They've got a buzzard/eagle/flamingo satan spawn thing going on somehow.

Things are hot here too. I forgot how tropical NYC could be in the summer. It's brutal. I need a scuba tank to breath properly. How are you? Still in Ottawa?
