Illustration of the bizarre heraldry beast known as an 'Alphyn'. Sadly couldn't find much info on these but still thought they deserved thei

Interesting beaked Alphyn appears to be based off of the Wikipedia asset. The creature on the lower left is actually a heraldic Panther.

A monster resembling a tyger but with the forelegs of an eagle and a tail tied in knots. No default posture. No proper coloration. Alphyn P
an Alphyn, a mix between a dragon + wolf + lion. Uses speed and strength to hunt, normally found in a Savannah type setting or grasslands
I bought a book of mythological creatures, and I’m going to try to draw one of the creatures described per day, and try my best to not be influenced by the provided illustrations. Hopefully I can keep this up =P

[Heraldry is an under-utilized source of monsters, I feel. Interestingly, the first English language book of chess described bishops as alphyns, which inspired the angled stride ability]
Alphyn This creature resembles a great shaggy hound the size of a man, and its neck is surrounded by a lion-like mane. Rather than canine paws, its forelegs end in the talons of a bird of prey. Its tufted tail winds and wraps around itself, stretching to great lengths.
Alphyns are noble creatures of the plains that pride themselves as impartial and fair arbiters of justice. Alphyns are nomadic creatures, wandering traditional routes over vast distances in search of food and conflicts to resolve. Some plains-dwelling people view alphyns as trusted and valuable members of the community, and organize annual holidays to celebrate their coming and have them mediate especially difficult disputes. Others see them as nosy busybodies and try to deflect or avoid their attention.
The hybrid appearance and dimensional powers of alphyns has been explained by some sages as the result of their origins as blink dog/griffin hybrids, but alphyns themselves reject such claims. Their own legends tell of their long-ago arrival from another plane to serve weak-willed humanoids as shepherds of justice and fair doings. They get along well with the churches of lawful gods and may be convinced to set aside their perambulations for a time if offered the position of councilor within one of these hierarchies.
Alphyns are typically solitary creatures, viewing families and friends as ties they do not require. Only a few times during an alphyn’s long life is it compelled to seek out another of its kind as a mate. Alphyn pups are raised by both parents until they can care for themselves, whereupon the entire family separates, never to see one another again.
An alphyn weighs about 150 pounds and stands three feet high at the shoulder. They are carnivorous, preferring to catch small game such as rabbits and voles. They do have a weakness for milk and beer, which they will take as payment for their arbitration.

Here is my entire character/creature lineup for this past Animal Alphabets Mythical Creatures Edition. I’m glad that I was able to get through the entire alphabet. Looking forward to the next one!

The mythical beast known as the alphyn. I love mythical monsters.
Another acrylic piece that missed the last convention. Heraldic Alphyn. There is a lot of gold accents that don’t scan well.

SCA Adventures in Heraldry, pt.1
~Hang on folks, this is gonna be a long one~ So recently, meaning back in January, I joined the (one and only) local Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) rapier combat group. At first, I thought it was just fencing. I had no idea what I was getting into- it was recommended by a friend, also in this group, who knew I thought it was modern fencing. This friend decided not to enlighten me, and once I got to my first meet. Well. Safe to say, I was surprised.
