These are some egg designs I made for a character design/adoption auction over at FA: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10477553/
Wanted to share the designs and the stories I made up for them:
Egg #1 Story: This egg was found by a young girl in Ancient Greece whose mother always told her to stop climbing the olive trees - but what young girl on a hunt for adventure amongst the birds truly listens to her mother? On one of these forbidden ventures, she found a particularly large olive tree and climbed all the way to it’s peak when she seen something odd at it’s upper branches. A nest made of not straw and twigs, but of barley, silk (from so far away!), and strange wefts of what felt like clouds in her mind. Scooping up the single egg, she hurried away to see what a man in the bazaar would make of it!
Egg #2 Story: This egg was happened upon by a young man heading home from the rice fields one evening during the Han Dynasty in a riverbed. Amongst the reeds and pebbles, this beautiful egg glowed with colours of jade and fleck of gold. Astounded by his finding, and finding the waters strangely warm around it, he took it for something valuable, perhaps a dragons egg, or some other lesser known creature, and quickly took to the market to see what it would fetch!
Egg #3 Story: Before the Modern period in the land of Alba, a fisherman just come back from a long journey came upon this egg. It had been growing dark on his way back from harbour to home, and passing by a cemetery housing both dead warriors and their wives, something caught his eye. The egg had a shine and a purposeful design to it, laying beside an equally well-carved tomb, as if crafted by the spirits, and though spooked by its location - being a suspicious man - he lifted it and brought it to his family to see what would hatch…
A commission that I thought was dapper to put up here…
In heraldry, a dragon features predominantly in English and Welsh standards, but appears in nearly every single European country in one form or another. They are classically associated with the Beast, the Devil, and thus ultimate evil and sin relating back to the tempting snake of Eden. They are often depicted as hoarders of treasures, be they gold or women, and fire breathing, but later mythology says they may breath poison or ice.

In heraldry, a griffin, or gryphon, is said to denote military courage and power. Females are depicted with wings, and males without, but with a horn similar to that of a unicorn. Medieval lore states that the gryphon guards priceless treasures, mates for life, and is king of birds. The hippogriff, is thought to be the child of a gryphon and a horse. ORIGINAL IS FOR SALE
I’m not really a storyboard person, but leica done to Personnages A Longues (People of the Long Ears) from Carnival of Animals. It was fun to make~
Just a doodle of a mix between a Bearded Vulture and a Golden Phoenix Rooster. Have a sketch and colour just for fun.
