So hey...My scanner arrived today, after gramma shipped it to the house for me. I promised, I delivered.

Fate is my oldest still-active character, a whopping 12 years or so old come June of this year. I created her when I was nine, although she certainly didn't look like this in my head. Originally, Fate was a non-anthro "griffin" with a blue-scaled dragonic head... Good lord, the stories I came up with back then were bad. I shan't relate them here. I would be grateful if those among you who were present for their creation would avoid doing so as well, since I like to pretend I have a little bit of dignity left to preserve.

Anyhoo, Fate's backstory was always, generally, the same: Griffin mother, dragon father, father died when she was very young, she left the family behind a little while later. That much I'm glad I didn't change, since it made her into an apparently likeable character later on, with some room to grow a bit.

The only thing I can't depict in this image is the gold dusting of her scales she acquired when she became a follower of a certain Goddess; the silver hair is the result of the same.

I couldn't be happier with the way this turned out.

Fate Blacktalon, the Blacktalon clan, and this image (c) me. If you steal it, you're stealing a work very dear to my heart and you WILL burn in hell for it.

Edit: I've become paranoid about art theft, though I still don't think I've reached that level of popularity yet. Expect a lot of watermarks to be added to things in the next week or so.
