It may look like a gryphon for now, but soon you will see how it's a wyvern

Also, I found new layer blend modes that get me way closer to the shading I want. Most people tell you to use Multiply, but Multiply isn't uniform: the shadow won't be nearly as strong with a dark background as with a light one. So sometimes I changed the opacity around to make it work, but now I can save myself all of that hassle by using Subtract.
The recent test drawing was a big help because it made me realize that plopping a canine head onto the wyvern didn't work. So now the head is this. More stylized and a trickier angle

Alright, I'll leave it at that for now. Next I'll try something a bit more stylized because drawing the fur like this is tedious as heck

This is working out so nicely, my art will never be the same again

Adapting my shading actually isn't nearly as difficult as I thought. On the contrary, I can ease up on its complexity because the fur patterns contribute to the depth, too

@Erpel Scary to remember that people like this can vote

@Jenetrix Took me a while to get there, but with the help of 300 reference pictures of various canines anything is possible 
I'm completely outside of my usual workflow with this
