SciFi and Fantasy Art First Flight by Karl A. Nordman


	First Flight This mother Rafin watches anxiously as the last of the nest makes ready for its first flight. She is ready to scoop up her youngling if he makes an awkward miscalculation on his first leap into the sky. He spreads his little wings and lets loose a crow on the wind as he prepares to catch the early morning breeze.

23 Apr 2008	Marika Viklund	Loading... Very nice and different take on a griffon! But I like it, makes it original! I like the setting too, how they’re perched on a cliff by a nest, just just standing around or flying like so many does them! Good on you! How did you put your name all over the place like that? I didn’t even see it at first. Smart. Karl A. Nordman replies: "Copyright protection... a condom for the 21st century webpost. lol"

5 Jun 2009	Sarah Fragore Roper	Loading... gets caught by the mother and squeals Karl A. Nordman replies: "Uh Ohhh... *Ducks"
9 Jun 2009	Kimberly A Taylor	Loading... wow thats beautiful; i like the pose of the adult, as it gives it a sense of realism, rarther than a pic of a creature just posing ontop of a cliff or something like a lot of people tend to do. Karl A. Nordman replies: "thanks, I wanted a unique Griffon and I dreampt up the Rafin. I like showing drama and action... this one is more drama as the action is about to happen adding to the suspense momma feels right now."
5 Sep 2009	Natalie Adams	Loading... lovely concept. i love how the mother is clasped to the rock, she really looks part of it. and the young one is beautifully done too - let’s hope it ends happily. Karl A. Nordman replies: "Thank you. You know that the ending is all up to you... "
