This was the very first sketch of Gilda for the 2008 MLP:FiM pitch bible--- before she got her bad attitude. At that time, I didn't have her character worked out, I just had a section about magical creatures and drew a griffon for it. Once we want to script with grouchy Gilda, her original name was Grizelda, but it didn't pass legal.
Gilda's old and original name was grizelda i heard what they said in channal fredarator and celestia was a queen once at the 2011 luaran faust i knew it :3
NOWHERE VERY ORIGINAL 10/10
so it can be spelled Griselda and Grizelda?
she does look like a Griselda she looks like she could be Gilda's older sister, even though her original name and look was suppose to be that.
don't think she would have a older sister but anyway this looks great.
i like griffon's and i still like em
in fact my mlp OC is a griffon but still who came up with making her the way she was?
Gilda doesn't have a clear counterpart on Earth, but her "grouchy yet sociable" attitude reflects on the character of Skuld (even if Skuld IS more mature than during the events of the original anime)
Oh what a time to be alive
And if Grizelda was her name, there would be so much fanart of her playing Zelda or dressed as Zelda.
