Adrastos - Guard Design

Another one of those sketch pages from Äladhal, this time featuring a Guard of the so called 'Gryphon People' in the book, it's actually the character Adrastos (because he has the simplest tattoos and I just like to draw him )

It's actually from the greek influenced area of Ädras, as described within the story, they do have a slight touch of a Harpy following the design, but I aimed for a look that fits to the history of this culture, where it tells that they were transmuted into beasts for their evil past and slowly as their civilization grows they slowly become human again.
