The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

My Commissioned Artwork

So, this is some artwork I commissioned from various artists and I thought I'd share it. 

These first two were commissioned from Arven92 on Deviantart, featuring my two gryphon characters flying around and cuddling in Glacier National Park, Montana.  I love how these turned out.






This last one is by ElementalJess on Deviantart, also featuring my gryphons.  Windstrider is teaching his mate, Elees, how to read by the fire


I might share more later.

I remember seeing this but apparently completely spaced when it came to commenting. Those are pretty darn great! Do you know what lake that is in Glacier National Park btw? I've only ever driven through that park on the way to seeing the Solar Eclipse.

That's St. Mary Lake used for the background.  And yes, I enjoy this artist's work very much.  I follow her on Patreon and I've been following one of her comics ever since it came out.

 These look insanely good! Excellent use of lighting especially for the strong-lined artstyle

I must stress that these aren't my work.  They were done by other artists as commissions of my characters.  I just wanted to share them

Oh, sorry, mistranslated.  :spikeblush

Still, these artworks are awesome!
I guess it's osom feeling, to see characters were brought to life like this. :)

So here's part 1 of a comic I commissioned from Arven92 a while back featuring Chui, the villainous leopard from Argen92's "Africa" comic squaring off with an OC of mine.

In case you're wondering why these wild cats are wearing collars, they're radio tracking collars.  As for how an African leopard ended up in North America, that's up to the reader to decide.  XD

I didn't do them.  I just paid for them and thought I'd share them.  4th (and at the moment final) page.  Sweet, sweet karma for the evil leopard boi.

Another commission I got from Arven92 featuring Windstrider and his son looking out over Grand Teton National Park.  Windstrider always gave off "Mufasa" vibes, hence the Lion King inspired picture.

Whoa ... this art is quite masterful!  Love the glow on the feathers.  It's pretty much Disney tier!
