SciFi and Fantasy Art: Secrets of the Forest (Second Picture, Detail)December 2004 - Soft pencils and water colour - Original size 17cm x 24cm
A christmas gift.
Again that nice mixed media effect. In fact it's this picture, where I first tried it out. Then, because I liked it so much, I drew the other one again, with the same technique.
Hehe, guess what bird species is behind those songgryphons! :) |

Most cute ^_^ *first comment dance*   Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Hehehe, nope, no finch. ^.^ Thankies and cookies for the funny first comment dance!" | |

| 21 Dec 2004 |  Sofia Alexandra | Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis), know as "Steglits" here in Sweden. I've seen goldfinches where I live, but not so often as I'd like... Nice pic!  Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Hehe, good guess! Close but not quite. Actually I have drawn goldfinch-songgryphons as well: HERE. But these fellows have another spechies in them.

| 23 Dec 2004 |  Uta ´Freawyn´ Hesse | The same as for the other picture - I love motive and perspective alot. Here the songgryphns seem to have a little bit woodpecker inside...  Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thanks again, Uta! Well, since this riddle is already solved, I can just say, it's the "Seidenschwanz". Hmm. But I bet a woodpecker-songgryphon would look lovely! Maybe I'll draw one... Merry christmas to you!" | |
| 26 Dec 2004 |  Christel 'Kris' Scheja | Again sweet little guys! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Hehe, or maybe "ghastly beasts" after all ... There has been the idea of warrior songgryphons around. I guess I'll really have to draw some. After that reaction under the christmas tree ..." | |
| 22 Oct 2006 |  Sarah Cuypers | This is really interesting! An unexpected perspective and nice use of colour and black & white. Good use of shadow and light too. One has the feeling it's part of a larger story. Very original.  Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you, Sarah! I like the way the combination of black and white and coloured parts turned out, too." | |
| 22 Feb 2007 | Vanshira | Yeah, those definitely seem to be part waxwing. What kind of waxwing, I'm not certain, but definitely waxwing.  Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you Vanshira. I am always happy, when I manage to draw a songgryphon recognizably after a songbird species." | |
| 23 Nov 2007 |  Michael pixie john | Its not fair i wanted them to be owls however , now i have discovered a beautiful word called waxwing which can be used in poems and songs love the picture those song gryphons are adorable Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Hehe, I think owls would'n really count as songgryphons. But I agree, Waxwing is a cool name for a bird! Thanks so much!" | |
