Decided to do something a little different with myself for my 23rd birthday so I looked through my character makers favorites and decided to make a new form for myself using http://pidgepudge.deviantart.com/ar.....lash-148997243 I came up with this griffin design for myself. It took some experimentation with  trainman666 before I got a look I liked. Oh, I posted this a while back on DeviantArt, but only just decided to post it here.

Story behind this one: When I am given the necklace shown in this picture, I discover that the spirit of a griffin had been transferred into the jewel on the pendant after he died protecting his master. The griffin's name is Atlas Misttalon and he happily let me use his body, guiding me as I learn to use it. We learn much from each other as time goes on, transferring information and memories in much the same way as a dragon and its Rider in Alagaesia.
