Shadow people (also known as shadow men or shadow beings) are a supernatural phenomenon reported by some individuals. Most accounts of shadow people describe them as black humanoid silhouettes, lacking mouths or eyes, although they are sometimes reported to have red or yellow eyes. They are generally described as lacking mass, although their specific nature varies from two-dimensional (like a shadow) to vaporous or distorted. Their movement is often reported as being very quick and disjointed, or "jiggly", in the sense that they first may move slowly like a fluid (similar to jello rather than water), then rapidly "hop" to another part of a witness' surroundings (5 years and 3534 days ago)

The Harpy
Favs: 2SBS: 5Hi-resRank: 7/26Score: 57.9% (5)9951 views

In Greek mythology, a harpy was one of the winged spirits best known for constantly stealing all food from Phineas.
In this form they were agents of punishment who abducted people and tortured them on their way to Tartarus. They were vicious, cruel and violent. They lived on Strophades. They were usually seen as the personifications of the destructive nature of wind.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffin for the meaning of the Griffin: "The griffin (griffon or gryphon (see below)) is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and often wings of an eagle. As the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle was the king of the birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. Griffins are normally known for guarding treasure.[1] In antiquity it was a symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine.[2]

Most contemporary illustrations give the griffin legs like an eagle's legs with talons, although in some older illustrations it has a lion's forelimbs; it generally has a lion's hindquarters."

Very hard for me...Since the orig. PST went down, I have been so out of practice with my methods....can't say I did great here....the shadows are too much, but I think the blending went ok....BE GENTLE PLEASE!!

Changed foot....got rid of wing shadows and added a better background...I hope this improves him!!! (5 years and 3538 days ago)

Phoenix
Favs: 1SBS: n/aHi-resRank: 10/26Score: 55.9% (0)7508 views

In this image, i clone stamped out the original wings and tail and replaced it with flames. A couple of colour adjustments were added to the sky and as for the sparkling around the wings i just made a custom brush and increased the scattering. A speedy entry!

A phoenix is a mythical bird with a colourful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends[1]). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of myrrh twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis
