one thing with griffon oc! 90% of them like the commun of the griffon! short thempre! only 10% of are more like gaby! so only 90% chance you get a punch in the stomach! hehehe good luck!
@Keith Mowz
Still not giving any reason why using the classical and to-this-day standard Eagle-Lion Griffon is a problem.
Equivalent logic would conclude any unicorn mare in the purple spectrum is a Twi knockoff. Do you demand people make up new pony races?
@Keith Mowz
That’s like suggesting every earthy-toned earth pony is a knockoff of Dr Whooves.
A griffon has always been an eagle and a lion. Modern works play around with those occasionally, but 99% of griffons are still the old combo.
@Agent Tasmania
It’s still highly derivative, though. White feathered head with a brown furred body, golden beak and claws. You have the entire range of predatory bird tops and cat bottoms to pick from. Wow, you changed the feather highlights to a different color, slightly modified the beak and gave her a pony tail. This is pretty much all I can think of.
@Agent Tasmania
There is a big difference, the problem is people who hate OCs don’t bother to check. They just see a female griffon OC and think “clearly this is a Gilda clone”.
Even having never seen nor heard of this OC before, I still don’t see how anyone could confuse her with Gilda. The red highlights are quite sharply not the lavender colour on Gilda. @Keith Mowz
I have too many OCs to count and do my best to steer clear of recognisable pallets, but sometimes veer close without realising it. Or deliberately in one isolated, early case.
Its kind of like having an orange earth pony with blond hair, or a gray pegasus. You’re going to be compared to the canon character when you could be mistaken for them at low resolution.
There’s nothing wrong with it, you just have to nut up and fucking deal with being compared to Gilda all the time.
Oh God, please dont give these guys any ideas! They will fucking make Half Pony half Bear Hybrid OC’s.

That’s why we’ve literally never seen any other gryphon on the show that has used those colors.
