I probably had more pressing projects to pursue (and my monster-girl Valentines aren't terribly beloved by viewers) at the time, but I wanted to take a shot at drawing a sexy bird girl, and this seemed like a good opportunity.
If she looks a lot like a Warner Bros. or Disney character, that's because I looked to them for guidance and as practice for Shendude's Egghead Jr. commissions. I hope that this fusion of styles makes at least as much sense as a griffin's anatomy.
