Gryphions: The Feathered Feet

Hello, everyone. It's been a while, hasn't it? Almost a year. I assure you we've missed secundi. But this thread is all about stretching out wings and getting air-born again.

Breedings are overdue, and I promise litters will come, but first let's remind everyone who we are! ((AKA: Neo needs to figure out how to use this new art program Solistia was kind enough to share with her. Neo will get to litters once she gets enough practice. Not sure how long that will be.))


So this little thread will have a few gryphions that need homes.
Hope no one is too angry at us. We'll get stuff that is owed to everyone! Later on we'll have place to send all things that are owed. Until then, please be patient. Let us have a bit to get warmed up again before we do that! Thanks guys!

Fun Stuff

Raina, the gryphion who introduced you to the thread, greets you to this post.
"This is full of longer-running contests and stuff to start off this little thread. Why don't you take a look?"


Pick a cloud OVER

It sure is a cloudy day! I see 10 clouds. But guess what? There is a gryphion hiding behind one. If you can guess what cloud she's behind, I'll be she'll go home with you since you're so clever!

1. SkySong
2. Wildfilly94 <-- Winner!
3. BabyKittenCandy
4. Laviee
5. Kadana Sorano
6. CutieePiee
7. Luv007
8. hiyoko
9. sera
10. PonyMama

Only one person may guess each cloud, so first come first serve. She'll reveal herself when all the clouds have been picked.



Who am I?


This is... well, I don't know who she is. She only speaks the gryphion speech, so she can't tell me her English name. I bet she will bond with someone who promises to name her something nice! So if you want to tell her your name idea, write it in RED and  include why you would give her that name!

LOL Cat Contest

This girl loves cats! So she will go to someone who can post a really funny picture of a cat. She'll look at funny cat pictures and captioned pictures of cats. Anything with cats!

You may post once every three hours a new picture.
The winner will be her favorite picture's poster. So posting the most pictures doesn't necessarily mean she'll pick you. It's her favorite that wins.

In-thread stuff

Randa-breeding rules!
How better to prepare Neo for doing lots of breeds she owes than by doing something kinda like breeding?

What is randa-breeding?
It's Random breeding... it involved one gryphion and then something else. Anything else. It could be another adoptable, your puppy, or anything at all as long as you can provide a link to an image to reference. I'll take traits from both and combine them into one (already grown) kitten!

What if I don't have a gryphion?
You can borrow someone else's (with in-thread permission) or you can pick two 'other' images. So you could breed two other adoptables and get a gryphion result, or a PI pony and a pretty flower... anything you like.

How do I get a randa-breeding?
Each time I post in thread a finished randa-breeding, the first person to post everything I need to make a randa-breeding will get it. (by everything I need, I mean a gryphion and an image or two images) BUT I'll also ask you to post a certain phrase in a certain color. That phrase will be posted when I post the previous randa-breeding.

Simple enough?
A couple more rules
--If you own a gryphion, you must use one of them in the randa-breeding. Only non-owners may use two images that aren't a gryphion.
--You must post links, not actual images. Thanks!
--If you edit your post at all, I'll ignore it and wait for the next post. So no editing. I'm very serious about this.


This is not actual breeding. You can't use two gryphions, and the resulting 'kitten' will be first gen with no parents.



The game will start with the first person to post a gryphion and other image link (or two images if a non-owner)

[Gryphions]

Extra post.
Everything is open. Go for it!

i'm on Cloud 9. ^.~

[Luv007]

Cloud 7 please!

[Laviee]

I'd like to take a peek behind Cloud 4!

[Luv007]

Randa-Breeding please?

[Wildfilly94]

Cloud 2 please?

[SkySong]

Cloud 1's my guess.

I'd name the girl Firedance because of the coloring her pelt has.

[Gryphions]

So while I work on Luv's Randa-breeding:



How shall we give him away? How about speed drawings? That sounds fun!
This guy wants to go home with an artist! But it's not solely about technical skill. He also is looking at color and style. So do whatever you want. Draw a picture of a bug. You pick the kind of bug. Anything creepy-crawly will do. If you want to draw more than one bug, you may, but they must be the same kind of bug with the same colors.
Alright, you have two hours from the time of this post.
Have fun!


If no one enters, I'll just give him away some other way.

[Luv007]

The only kind of bug I like or have time to 'draw'.  Such a pretty boy!!

[Whimsy]

*slinks away from atrocious spider thingy*

My trackpad drawing skills = zilch.

[hiyoko]

cloud 8

[SkySong]

Err... I wouldn't really consider it a creepy-crawler, but I'd call it a bug?

http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k531/FrostedSkySong/Butterfly.png

If it doesn't count, I'll do something more creepy-crawler.

[Gryphions]

SkySong, I'd definitely call that a bug You're fine.

[Gryphions]

Ok! Are we ready to see the first breeding result?
Let me know if you like him. I'm very rusty on breeding and coloring (and very new to paint tool sai!)


He's in your account Luv, congrats on your first gryphion!

Next person who posts the correct information for a randa-breeding gets it, but they must include the phrase Fishies are fun in blue along with it!
Remember, no edits!

I'm not sure if I'll have time to color this one tonight or not. But this will continue as long as I feel like it.

There is no limit to how many randa-breedings you get, but don't forget others probably want a chance too. If I feel it is getting unfair (ex; one person gets 10 in a row) I'll probably ask you to sit out.
But we'll only do that if it comes to it.

[Luv007]

Wow, Neo!!!  He's phenomenal!! 

I'm sitting this one out since I just got that pretty boy, but I'm coming back for more later!!!

[hiyoko]

Fishes are fun

[Gryphions]

The speed drawing contest ends in a few minutes! Get your entries in fast!


The second randa-breeding is a barn gryph, thanks to his 'mommy'.


the special phrase to get the next randa-breeding is I <3 Barn gryphs!

I think I'm taking the rest of the night off. So I'll try to get some more done tomorrow (unless I find myself up at 2 in the morning and needing of something to do!)

No editing. Please make sure you have everything before you post.

[Laviee]

I don't think I have a Gryphion yet..?

Feeling French Revolution-y today. :D /historylover

I <3 Barn gryphs

[Gryphions]

Well this one will be a bit of a challenge, but that's good

[Gryphions]

Well, I hope he is ok! Based him off of Napoleon's horse and the french flag.

For the next one, the phrase is I want to visit France! in blue

[Whimsy]

I want to visit France!

[Laviee]

This is actually too amazing. I love him! Thank you so much!

[Gryphions]

Laviee, I'm very happy you like your first Gryphion!


As for the speed draw contest, it seems that the boy is very interested in all of the pretty bugs drawn, but hops on over to the colorful butterfly drawing of SkySong. He churrs and in a jump he bows to SkySong.
Congrats!

[SkySong]

Aww, thanks! I wasn't sure I liked the color composition, but it seems he does!

[Gryphions]

I'm very happy with how many people are getting their first gryphions!

[CutieePiee]

Cloud 6 please!

[Gryphions]

Seems like this boy is another first!
It's crazy how random.org is only letting males happen. XD Oh well, hope you guys like all these boys.


For Whimsy!

Next phrase is to be posted in pink : I love to smell the flowers!

Aaaand yeah, I know I keep saying I'm done, but I really think I am done this time. I need to go to bed XD

[SkySong]

I love to smell the flowers!

[SkySong]

I was waiting since the start of the thread for that. XD I originally had a different picture instead of Seaside, but I figured it'd be polite to follow the rules. And you know, it'd probably help me actually get the breeding. XD

[BabyKittenCandy]

Cloud 3 please?

Glad to see these back, thread looks fun!

[Kadana Sorano]

I would like to look behind Cloud #5 please!
I would name her Morning's Glory.

[PonyMama]

Cloud #10 please

[YourLoveOnly]

Cloud #6 please?

And I am SO excited to see a Gryphion event <33

[Neocridders]

((on phone so I won't edit clouds post  yet))
Psst, CutieePiee has 6. I really need to update first thing when I get to the computer.

[YourLoveOnly]

Oh well then they are all gone, I thought that was the only one left but I only checked the posts after the last Gryphion you posted xD I see it now.

[Neocridders]

Eeep sorry! I'll have a new game up later!

[YourLoveOnly]

No worries, not everyone can catch every game <3
I will defenitely stalk for this semi-breeding thing, so much fun.

[Willow]

I would name her Volcano, because her body reminds me of lava, and her wings and tail remind me of ash clouds C:

Although I am looking forward to getting my litter before anything else, it's nice to see Gryphion events again, and so far they've all been stunning!

[Gryphions]

After all the clouds have been chosen, we all look up to the sky. A lovely girl comes  giggling as she falls from behind cloud 2. She's lands silently in front of Wildfilly94

[Whimsy]

Pretty boy :] Now to a get a girl to go with him so I can breed!

[Kadana Sorano]

Congrats Wild, she's pretty!

Whimsy, you can borrow one of my females if you don't manage to snag one of your own before breeding.

[Gryphions]

Hope she's ok! Random.org finally gave us a girl!


Next phrase is Pretty Birdies in orange.

And I don't know when the next breeding season will be. I'm certainly going to make sure everything is caught up and I have the time to do it before I get myself in anything like another breeding season.

But someday

[Whimsy]

Pretty Birdies

[SkySong]

She's awesome! I love her bright colors.

[Wildfilly94]

Whoa, I won! XD I wasn;t expecting that!

Thank you! <3 I'll name her Angel, sense she, ya know, came out of a cloud. :p

[Gryphions]

Alright, looks like we've got another girl!



So the next phrase is Fantasy is fantastic! in yellow.

I'll update your girl's name to Angel soon, Wildfilly.
