GAX - Darkness Twilight

My exchange gryphon of the month was a hippogryph named Darkness Twilight, who is a red wing blackbird/shire horse combination. The right wing is meant to be dragon-like. There was a request for some blood. It's been a very busy month, so my mind was too frazzled to come up with any background. I had fun working on this during my spare moments. Played around with some different methods... I think the length of the body is a bit too compact. humm.
