I've had it in my head ever since I released the first images of my griffon oh
so long ago.  People seemed to love my griffon, all except the static nature of
the wings.  So last night I worked on that.  I don't have more pictures right
now, but I hope to have more, better quality pictures sometime soon.

The original Griffon design:

The Griffon Mark II:

I realize some of you may not seen any difference, but I assure you, this guy
has been under an enormous redesign.  I practically rebuilt the wings from
scratch.

Improvements include:

-More feathers
-More movement for the feathers
-More streamlined look for the wing bases
-Horizontal movement given to wings (wings can now move forward and backward)
-Wings can be posed from backward, parallel to the body to about 15 degrees
    forward of perpendicular to the body
-When the wings are perfectly horizontal, they can be folded over the back of
    the griffon to give an 'at rest' wing pose

Questions and Comments are welcomed.

(...) I'm normally not much for revisions of previous creations, but this is really well done. I like the new wings a lot more. They seem more natural. The way the upper ridge gets bigger closer to the body helps with this perception. Good work! (...) (22 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle)
