Midi's Sprites

[Kelvin]

Concept art of another of my characters. Yes, I do my concept art with sprites. Bite me. Shown with and without wings in comparison to Shacklebolt. Counting his ears, this is my second tallest character.

This is Silver Windstreak, a bluejay/snow leopard gryphon. He's training to be a police officer, and is very distrustful towards Shacklebolt due to rumors surrounding shadewings, and very protective of his friends, Justin, Skyla and Dexter, which adds a lot of conflict. As a side character, he'll be playing the role of "distrustful semi-antagonist turned ally", but I'm not sure if he'll ever call Shack his friend or not.

With the exception of water fowl, Kyrodian gryphons are made of all sorts of avians and felines, not just eagles and lions. Though their feline half is shaped like a "big cat", they even have some house cat designs. Nudity taboo also does not apply to quadrupeds (the only reason penguins go naked is because their thick feathery covering hides their no-no parts, and because it's necessary for them to handle warmer climates), so clothing is optional for gryphons, dragons and shadewings.

The reason I'm making platform sprites for him is because I have him planned as a half boss when he lashes out against Shacklebolt out of suspicion. How you defeat him is a surprise, though.
