Lovely. Thank You for sharing your talent. I can see such sadness and 'loss of potential' in Balinor's eyes. The glimmery griffen is lovely (celtic design in the wings...cool!). I wish (hope) Merlin could see it.

Thank you very much! For me, one of the essential pieces to Balinor's character is his loneliness. And so here he is, alone by his campfire, with only his magic for company. It took me a few days to work out the design for the knot in the wing, lol, never having made one before. Thank you again for such a lovely comment. <3

Awww, thanks, tomato! *blushes* It was fun to do, especially once I had my inspirational moment with the blue lighting. <3

This is fabulous! I love the look of the wings :)

[altocello]

Thanks, feather! It took me a while and much head scratching to sort that part out. :D

The lighting is wonderful! I love the blue glow the griffin emits, and how it illuminates Balinor's face! Gorgeous, lovely!
