Description
UPDATE:
BID OR BUY NOW: www.ebay.com/itm/111919932448
1. Judging has concluded, and I have been notified that this sculpture is the FIRST PLACE WINNER of the griffin contest (fav.me/d8m4o4g) hosted by ! I am so excited! Praise the Lord! I'm so humbled and grateful to everyone who voted for this entry.
2. Now that the contest is concluded and winners have been chosen, I am auctioning off this sculpture (yes, the actual, original, handmade, 3-dimensional, hold-in-your-hand, sculpted piece of art seen from different angles in this photo collage--not a mere print of these photos) on Ebay. So if you want to make this OOAK piece of art your very own, please get in your bid ASAP.
Please follow this link: www.ebay.com/itm/111919932448
There, you can also see a few photos of the gryphon sitting in my hand to get an idea of its relative size, so if you want to see how small this sculpture is, I suggest you go check out the photos of it on Ebay.
3. And thanks ever so much to for requesting this piece to show in their group gallery. It's an honour to be asked!

This is my official (2nd) submission for the griffin contest (fav.me/d8m4o4g) hosted by
This is what I really wanted to make for their current contest: a sculpture of a drawing I made of a half red-shouldered macaw, half sand-cat. The original drawing was quick and easy, but turning it into a 3-dimensional creature was a huge and lengthy challenge, mostly due to the various details I forced myself to include. Normally I hate detail work (I'm trained in traditional animation--details are the enemy and to be avoided as much as possible, 'cause nobody wants to draw the same unnecessary detail on a character 5 hundred thousand times, but I digress), but I'm trying to train myself to do details anyway (do hard things!) and do them to the best of my ability. I finished sculpting this today, May 9th, 2015... hopefully just barely in time to enter the contest!
Everything visible on this sculpture--except for the eyes--is made entirely of coloured polymer clay. Absolutely no paint was used in the creation of this piece! Inside, there's a little bit of an armature made of wire and floral tape, and the eyes are onyx beads. Like most of my sculptures, it's also a relatively small piece of art. This gryphon stands under 2&1/2" tall, its wingspan is approximately 3", and its length from beak to tail is approximately 4".
And giving credit where credit is due, thanks to for the tip (via an amazing and thorough tutorial: fav.me/d38jnod) about using floral tape inside of a sculpture to get the clay to adhere to its armature (since clay just slips right off the wire and doesn't grip it). Anyway, it also worked great for getting a reliable shape for my gryphon's wings.
