Derkbabies

I recently bought The Tough Guide to Fantasyland and read it for the first time, and then of course I had to reread Dark Lord of Derkholm right away (It's based on/inspired by the Tough Guide, in case you didn't know!). And there's that part in the beginning where Derk is fondly remembering baby Shona and kitten-sized Kit "rolling around together on the living room rug" or something and I just went buhhhhh and put down the book and drew this.

I forget how much I love this family! They are so close despite the fact that they have siblings of an entirely different species! Also, I have never drawn a griffin before, let alone a baby one, and I am probably going to have to do some bird research and then draw a lot more, because they are fun.
