And last (for now) - Flintbeak
Flintbeak is a longhorn - the former guardian. Still a capable warrior, he mentors Snowhorn in guardian techniques. He tests Snowhorn’s leadership by tasking him to mentor Blackpaw

Fluffymane is another survivor
Despite a congenital defect, her mentor’s guidance helped her become a confident hunter. Mastering balance with her tail and wings, she favors diving from above over ground chasing

Snowhorn's younger brother
A cheerful little furrball of energy. Can't fly yet
He believed that there is more survivors. Snowhorn supported his optimism despite the obvious grim truth

My main character - Snowhorn
A survivor of the last mountain pack, he’s now forming a new group from the remaining wanderers
Thoughtful and inquisitive, trained as a scout, so he flies longer than average gryphons

A digital sketch illustration of three gryphons: Snow Wing (large, blue and white), Fluffymane (white with curly fur) and Blackpaw (smaller with turquoise eyes), exploring a snowy stone ruin. Fluffymane and Snow Wing are in the foreground, while Blackpaw is seen emerging from a stone doorway in the back. Snow falls softly over the cold, grey stone environment
The griffins come across the ruins left behind by humans centuries ago for the first time. They're like caves... but not as secure and highly drafty ❄️

Some quick concepts for Clar’s (High Light Spirit) assistants - little spirits resembling small animals mixed with vegetation and reliefs. Their combinations are infinite and totally random 🌿

A black and white manga-style comic page featuring gryphons in a snowy landscape. The panels show emotional interactions and memories of a tragic event. First panel shows a close-up of a Snow Wing (Snowhorn in future) face in distress under a large claws. Second panel shows Fluffymane against Elu (a hunter who can influence the mind and confuse thoughts). In the third panel the leader of their pack is killed with a spear. In the fourth panel Snow Wing flies away with his brother. At the final panel Flintbeak and Snow Wing are sitting in the mountains. All the panels are accompanied by a monologue from Flintbeak: "You understand that no matter how gard you try... You couldn't save them all and it's not your fault. No one is really guilty for that day. We should be grateful to the spirits that at least some of us survived that day. You and the others did the best you could. You'd better focus in what's important now. The artwork uses screentone for shading
First time trying the manga screentones!
The main characters met a sad fate - only a few managed to escape from the Riders (hunters with «forest» gryphons)

Digital landscape art of a snowy mountains. In the foreground, a group of four gryphons is trekking up a steep, snowy slope. They leave a trail of paw prints in the snow as they follow each other. The lighting is bright and cold, emphasizing the vast, frozen wilderness
In search of great achievements and new horizons - though underneath it all lies a sad story...

Digital sketches of 5 gryphons with different facial shapes. The same number of feathers on the canvas, personifying the characters by their shapes and markings
First steps into unique features (now they have become even more different). Trying to capture forms. Quite successful i guess
Feathers appeared spontaneously, personifying the characters

Digital painting of a blue-toned gryphon creature with a dark beak, light green eyes, and dark curved horns. The character has white and blue fur. Background shows a soft grey snowy forest, covered with moon light and falling snowflakes.
A minor character in the story. I can’t tell you anything about him yet, but one day he will appear in the lives of the main characters. And will play his role in it c:<

Nestlings are uninitiated youth (under ~2 y/o). Training starts when an Elder deems them ready, placing them under a mentor’s care. They acquire the same position as the mentor. To camouflage in caves, nestlings have grayish fur, which turns into a permanent bluish color as they mature
#TerraVentosa
Three fluffy gryphon nestlings with grayish fur and feathers, rest in a dark cave. One looks up with bright blue eyes, while the other sleeps. Their gray coloration serves as natural camouflage for their environment before they mature and turn bluish.
I was advised to create a separate tag for my griffin setting, I guess I need to add it on previous too
#TerraVentosa - name of the mountains, translates as "Windy Lands"
