Griffin Rainbow

I was inspired by the lovely caycowa and her adorable griffins, which can be seen here:


I immediately wanted to do a cardinal and a blue jay, but then I was like, 'how about a yellow one too?' Insert research into various birds of different colors here. I decided to do one of each color of the rainbow, cause why not?

Of course now I want to draw a female cardinal looking over her babies and a male peacock as a griffin. I imagine it would have a lot of tails to show off.

Anyway, the griffins I drew are based off of the following birds: cardinal, oriole, goldfinch, green jay, blue jay, and a starling.
