Warlock Town Take Two!

Couple of major updates to the warlock town project.
1. Is now a joint project with Alex ( http://alexcollins-art.co.uk)
2. The town is now going to be based on the warlock town from Heroes of Might and Magic II instead of replicating it. We are also going to model the creatures


Each of us is going to make three units and their environments, mine will be the griffin, hydra and dragon (might swap around who knows)

Griffin Ideas:
As I don't want to go down to much of a typical griffin route I've been looking at different types of eagles to base the griffin on and narrowed it down to three species.

African Sea Eagle

Quite like the markings, face and colours of this one.

Bateleur Eagle

I like the shape of the feathers around the face on this eagle, has a slight mane like look. Very unlikely I'll use the colour scheme though.

European Sea Eagle

I'll probably use this eagle as a base.

I'll do some photobashing to see what works best. Going to be in Dorset for the next couple of days without a computer so I'm going to try and get some rough idea sketches done. For the griffins habitat I'm thinking a combination of the large rocks lions sleep on and nests.
