request An artist for a Griffon OC?

[Umbreon 569]

Hello everypony, I'm working on a new OC and was wondering if anyone felt up to the task of trying to draw her for me?  She's a griffon, and I don't have a reference picture to work off of, the best I can do is a detailed description.  

 

Name:  Sabellah, goes by Sabel.

Gender:  Female

Age:  Borderline Adolescent / Young Adult

Species:  Griffon

Eye colour:  Gold

Character colour:  Half Eagle / Half Lion griffon.  White feathers with a few darker brown ones smattered throughout on her eagle half.  Dark gold fur on her lion half, with a stripe down her spine that’s darker than the rest.

Mane/Tail/Other:  She keeps her feathers slicked back to give an oiled look, both to keep them out of her way and (supposedly) to make her fly faster.  She keeps her wings preened, being incredibly proud of them.  Her talons and beak are both long and sharp, with a habit of reflecting light.  There’s also a scar over her right eye.  She’ll claim it’s from something like a monster or a cutlass, but the truth is it was left by a horse shoe after receiving a hoof to the face.

 

If just lounging around she'll wear a number of silver bracelets on either talon, though she takes them off to fly.

 

Physique:  A strong young griffon, Sabel is lean and muscled.  Spends most of her time either flying or practicing for flying, so she does everything she can to keep body fat at bay.  

 

Unique Traits:  She prefers to use agility and acrobatics to get by, so she carries the bare minimum while flying.  A long knife is held by a leather strap across her chest, but she doesn’t carry any other weapons.  If on a long scouting flight she’ll carry a leather satchel as well, to carry any supplies she may need or find.

 

 

 

That's currently all that I have to work off of, though if more details are requested I would be more than happy to fill in anything that you feel is lacking.  I'm not picky at all about a pose, though I would prefer if it wasn't anything grim/dark.  And if you feel up to trying more than one pose, I wouldn't object to that either!

 

Thanks in advance everypony, just for reading even if you decide not to tackle the task.

 

-Edit-  I'm working on two separate versions of her write-up, one a little less edgy than the other.  If possible, should anyone be willing to take up this request, could you also do a version with just the satchel and not the knife?  Thanks a ton.

Since no one seems eager to tackle this, I wanted to add a little more to the request by saying that as a reference picture I am perfectly fine if you were to try and base her off of Gilda from the show.

 

A couple images I found with a quick google search:

Anyways, I am perfectly happy if you based the picture off of Gilda.  All I ask is that please make the actual look of Sabel match her description as much as possible

Really like your design, is there more backstory to her?

 

Here you go, hope you don't mind the way the wings look; couldn't think of a better pattern.

That looks amazing! Thanks a ton, it all looks great to me. As for the backstory, it would depend on which "version" of her if that makes sense lol. I've written a few different versions of her now, including one where she becomes a pirate.

 

Sorry for the short reply, on my phone today because Wednesdays suck with my schedule this semester.

Alright, finally got home with access to my laptop, and it looks even better than it did on my phone's screen.  Thanks again, I love it!

Glad you like it.If you want something changed, feel free to sk though.

And where would one find those?

 

Anyway if you got anymore OCs that need drawing, feel free to hit me up.
