They hated Grisweilda because she told them the truth…

Thanks to the Artist for the Magic 8-Ball, and the turban that helpfully prints its proclamations on its side for easy comprehension. The image as a whole seems a bit flat; I think that some of the contrast of that Hash-dream curtain should be toned down, and the contrast enhanced on the table and figure. I like how her hand-claws came out; they’re just birdy enough.

Overall, this is a fun image. I’m putting it in my upper-mid tier.

Pineapple? You MONSTER.

This earns an Honorable Mention from me. It's so gonzo and colorful and weird, yet it captures the story quite well. Awesome stuff.

Hm, personally, I liked it better when it said "White Power."

Okay, "UR DED" is the kind of stupid silliness that makes a stupid person like me giggle. I don't think we've ever seen a griffon on the show with a solid color, so Griswielda does look a little plain to me. That being said, her expression is great, and I love that little angle on her upper beak; it just screams "bird of prey". The curtains in the background are straight-up psychedelic in their color scheme, and it does clash a little with Griswielda's jet-black coloration, though this may have been your intention. Everything here is just crazy-silly, so nice job with that!

I disagree; it's only supposed to be slightly offensive, after all.

If you wanted to go with something in that vein, I'm partial to "Some of my best friends are blacks," or "#HeritageNotHate."

Thank you all so much for giving your comments on my art!

This paragraph is a callout post for Paracompact. I don't know how the fuck you knew it said white power at the beginning. I'm not kidding when I say that it did. I eventually changed it after the website broke down out of anxiety that some people would take it too seriously. After all, it's only supposed to be slightly offensive. I got legitimately paranoid for the last two days of the competition.

I'm glad you guys noticed the magic eight ball. Thank you, thank you. My own perfecto idea.

I'm happy I'm Miller's favorite person now. That's all the validation I will ever need.

Thanks for the reviews :D

Haha, I was going for exactly this reaction! When the site was crashed, and we were reading off of Rao's downloaded anthology of the stories, we were able to see all the art submitted thus far (bug, not a feature). I laughed myself silly when I saw it said White Power, and then remembered that line from the story.

oh my gosh,,,

I thought you were the next griswielda.
