[KnyannaHenderson]

buti liked it

[KnyannaHenderson]

the dragon should always win *nods*

[HAMSTERlover65]

This deserves to be viral

[Gureishia]

omg really well done! the animation is so smooth! i dont even wanna know how long it took you to draw all those frames o_o

[ImAwesomeYourNotHaha]

that. was. f*****g. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! holy bejesus how could anyone even dislike this. it was AWESOME! AWESOME I TELL YOU!! AWESOME!

[wolfspiret395]

your animation is awesome ! ahaha i love how the snake is curled up on the chimeras butt :D xD

[DarkDragonFlame999]

WOW! wish i cud draw this well!

*Sigh*

[stickmananimation900]

they are all greek mythology creatures! All hale god zeus!

[UlquiorraRyuzaki]

Dude,just ignore the bad stuff,EVERYTHINGS AWESOME ABOUT THE ANIMTION.Its how you think a griffon,chimera,or a dragon looks.Btw:The chimera has an aggressive attitude. ;3 keep going great vid!

[diesel7268]

Cool chimera but unless it's a girl wheres the mane? And how come it don't breathe fire too?

[southprince34]

i thought griffins had tails? at some point i thought the griffin was a pegasis

[GamerGeeKid123]

That dragon's got issues. Great video, though!

[diesel7268]

In what legend does it say griffins have horns?

[Indrijid]

@diesel7268 -.- the one that says their anatomy cannot be imagined any differently otherwise it would be considered a mythical creature.

[DarkDragonFlame999]

@diesel7268 when duz it say they don'T.

That's the best thing about drawing myths and legends. becuz no one knows truly what they look like if they're made up so no one can say 'That's wot what hey look like!' altho i do see ur point. oh, well, kwl anyway!

[bianca4550]

This is COOOOOOOL

[WolvesandDragons1]

OMG that..was.. simply amazing!!! each feature of the creatures were captured perfectly. Bravo!

[DragonSoul54]

Danse macabre, Camille saint saens ;)

[puzzleproducktoins]

[baileybunny22]

This is a parable of America.

[vampirewolf2011]

I love it but Why do the lion want's to kill the dragon?

[Nidaky]

a dragon has 6 members, not 4, but excepted that thing, it's a beaucifull work :D

i love it

[tetraquadtrio]

AWESOME!!! i can't animate :( at least i can draw

[Shurrackia96]

love it! :D

[WolfFifteen]

dude! epic!

[Pseudopatvaroloid]

I had goosebumps... Epic (:

You rock, Bee!

[freezerburnfreeze]

Really good, but you might want to erase better

[Avatinfernus]

You are very very amazing at animation ^.^

[boltfire000]

fantastic. it is wonderful to see a classic black and white animation with good but simple elements to the characters and a small story line. this is the stuff that gets me off my ass and wanting to draw. keep up the good work. by the way very good classical music.

[MinathePikachu]

awwww poor gryfin it didnt do anything to get in a mess

[TARUolento92]

i love it :))

[SashaGreendyk]

Very cute! I love Danse Macabre. :)

[QueenofDragon]

nice...the music really makes it even more dramatic...and in the end, the intelligence of the griffin was the winner

[mason8398]

COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AdmiralFerret]

That's really awesome! - I just finished a full 1:31 minute full animation - took a group of us about 44 hours each to get it together - I'd love to do a long animation!

How long did this take you?

[dracocath]

Amazing! good gob!

[WolfKashi]

My fav was the griffin!!! The whole time I was like "GO GRIFFIN GO!" This is absolutely amazing!

[thewolfchyld]

I love how each of the animals has their own score. ^_^ The lynx-chimera is my fave, though. When he'd start running I could really imagine the weight and balance of him - a feat seeing as the creature is naturally off balance. xD' <3 good job!

[BurningGodzilla42]

oh my god this is amazing. Dude this is what i want to do in college. i did a stopmotion class for Scad summer seminars, and we did 2d animation. but this is incredible. i plan on going there in 2 years.

[AmelieCZ100]

i love this video is ... is a coool

[RosieTheUmbreon]

Griffen rules!!!

[withered962]

It was like watching what cartoons should be...

[Wyzdm]

BRAVO THAT WAS SUPERB!! 

[dinogirl71]

sorry to be rude.(EPIC ANIMATION) but wouldn`t the dragon be a wyvern,since it has no front legs?

[DesertStormRex]

@dinogirl71 A wyvern is a sub dragon species that only walks on two rear legs, true. but a wyvern is noted for a poisonous barb at the tip of its tail and CAN NOT breath fire.

[S0XF0X]

@DesertStormRex Dude...it's a fictional creature.

[DesertStormRex]

@S0XF0X i was responding to someone getting technical that it should be a wyvern.

[KriahFox]

1:58 - THE DRAGON LIVES!!

Superb animation.

[SaberRaver]

Superb! Brilliant!

[W0mb0l0gy]

this is so amazing

[gaylelopez]

It's driving me crazy! What is that song? I know it but can't think of the name.

[DarkmaneTheWerewolf]

@gaylelopez

Dance macabre (Dance of death) by Saint seans

[umigainsborough1]

ive got my back on the dragon but o well its the animator's decision 5/5 by the way

[shadowdrayktransform]

I really like this, it's awesome! I was hoping the dragon would win but it's an amazing video anyway! Great job!

[FidelityEverling]

i like this video, i can tell you put a lot of effort into it! but i think it's a little confusing who is chasing whom.

[kendallies]

LOL I like at the end with the chimera: IT BIT ME

[raptorkil]

THIS IS the BEST animation I have ever seen in my life!!! :D

[ROCKNintendoYO]

awesome!!

[Dragimal]

Wow. This just.... made my life. It is so detailed, and goes so well with the music, I'm in complete awe. Though, I'm just curious to know, was the Griffin's tail purposely left out in some scenes, or does it curl up like the Chimera tail?

[DisasterPuppy]

@Dragimal I'm guessing it was left out for animation purposes to make the process easier.

As said before, this is a great show of skill. The timing is perfect and I love the story. :) Keep animating.

[Dragimal]

@DisasterPuppy Alright, thanx!

[XxsilverflowerxX]

Is that a griffin baby at the end?

[XDoranges]

it's AWESOME because the music goes with the animation and the drawing just rule!

[DFPUR]

WOOHOO!! and the griffin wins!! xD I was voting on him!! xD this is awesome great job! ^^

[WILDMUSTANGX]

Nice!!! How long did that take? Did you do it on paper on an illuminated surface?

[Foxi1309]

I've got only one think to say: Wow.

[TheBonitaproductions]

Love it! what ingenious story telling, bravo!

[shyfyre11]

Poor Griffin, he just wanted to be left alone

[TBN4evr100]

This is wonderfully done! How long did the whole thing take you?

[CorinaTheVampire]

what is the nusic?

[RascaIKat]

I'm flinching at the amount of work I know this took. I could never make something this epicly awesome, even if I took years.

[Albusvesper]

That chimera is a dick! >:/ Excellent animation btw!!

[Rinnjah]

it would have been better is the dragon won

[FlyingZamora]

this is incredible. better than anything i've ever seen, how many frames did you use?

[9999poppy]

*Griffin* sorry

[MoonFiyr]

@9999poppy

Griffin

Gryphon

Gryffin

Griffan

Four ways to spell it. Doesn't mean someone's wrong.

[gn2010Productions]

@MoonFiyr yes it does its spelled griffin its my name i care LOL

[MoonFiyr]

@gn2010Productions Lol, your name is spelled Griffin. Doesn't mean it's the only way to spell it. My name can be spelled five ways. Does that mean mine is more correct than the other person in my class's name, which is pronounced the same but spelled different?

[9999poppy]

Griffen always wins!

[tanch0708]

Dude this is pretty darn epic! In the end the Griffen totaly dominated both the dragon and the Chimera. Based on the ending, the griffin wanted to protect it's young by the end, right?

[pokemonrule88988]

This is EPIC

[Horsezzify]

amazing! Must've taken ages.

[computerhacker225]

if you stop at 2:07 it looks like da goat part of da chimera is eating

[emofoxkid]

this is amazing but you got the griffin and the chimera wrong

[fabianfucci]

I loved this! You should color it.

[Chibigaaralover]

Be awsome.

[Duskstarofsunclan]

Chills. Every time.

[chillincello]

This is pretty damn good!:O

[yumyumgirlthedragon]

wow that was really good what program did you use?

[ShadowChimera1390]

I look epic. ;D

[okami141]

are you going to add coler

[nosleeptonight]

Moral of the story: Don't piss off a griffon.

[darklighteryphon]

@nosleeptonight i agree and if you think gryphons are bad you should see a keythong when he's piss off

[CrypticYang]

wow that was amazing. it seems like something you'd see on fantasia

[Danidoodee]

woow thats amazing (:

[sugarray300]

TRUELY AWESOME



[bogercs]

Here's a game of Dragon, Griffin, Chimera! Chimera hunts Griffin, Griffin rips apart dragon and dragon fire-breaths chimera!

[irkendragon]

@bogercs Dragon should work more like the bomb. Destroys everything. Griffin can rip apart a unicorn because Griffins eat horses. Unicorn can slay chimera.

[darklighteryphon]

@bogercs chimeras can't be hurt by fire real life and like the dragon and the gryphon it can breathe it

[DeadlyLady120235]

if only it had color :D

[Jprocke]

That was realy good! u should be famous

[DeadlyLady120235]

the griffin is like "Oh forget them" at 2:49

[Lemonlime947]

Wow..this is great! 

[MrAngryDinosaur]

very well composed

[WendyRatte]

:O

just wow!

aaw griffin mom protects her baby :3

[Ispod4]

Am I the only one here that actually favors the Chimera? :(

[Clawmarkedmovies]

i thoght my favorite out of the three is the Dragon because he was the first myth creature i ever knew. =)

[BIGK241]

Nice animation music goes great with it

[megadracosaurus]

did you now a griffin is a dragon species?

[megadracosaurus]

the griffin and chimera aren't right, the goat head of the chimera is on his back not next to the lion head and the griffin has no horns and he has a lion tail

[TheBlackRoseProd]

@megadracosaurus actually there isn't really a definite chimera or griffin really, it just depends on the story/mythology

[seeing8spots]

@megadracosaurus bah artistic reditions can be however they want them to be especially in a mythical beast though i personally would agree that the griffin kind of bothered me.. but i just like the full bird frontal type griffin..

[WhiteWolfDragon23]

the goat head keeps grabbing for grass xD..

[kyuubi83256]

That's so good animated O_O!!!

[TheAnimegirl321]

nice animation

[NecroObscurite]

Actually, that's not a dragon, it's a wyvern.

[nothingspecial018]

@NecroObscurite Actually, it is a dragon. According to mythology, a wyvern only has two legs, two wings, a poison stinger on its tail, and can't breathe fire. A dragon breathes fire and typically has four legs, two wings and a spade tail, but there are variations where a dragon has only two legs and two wings (like the one in the video).

I'm getting all this from a mythology book on my bedside bookshelf XD

[tbonedogstar]

wundervoll!!!

[TheAlliesCanHelp]

gryphon

[Voodoofox3]

nice job!!

[ReighnDrac]

What song is used in this, I love it!

[sandpaw327]

one word epicness!!!!!

[darklighteryphon]

the gryphon's name is arbiter he is the first of all the gryphons and is typhon's secret son,the chimera's name is dawn he is the first of all the chimeras and is typhon's first son and the dragon's name is leviathan she is the first of all the dragons and is typhon's first daughter and this is the truth i am not lying

[DarkmaneTheWerewolf]

@darklighteryphon

Decent knowledge on greek mythology eh, but actually, in this animation, i just named the Griffin Adrian, the Dragon Tormund and the Chimera remained nameless.

[darklighteryphon]

@DarkmaneTheWerewolf

oh... ok

[KyokoFujita]

8 people must obviously hate this extremely beautiful animation. Dx

[SharpieSabre]

the chimera kinda runs like a rottie or bulldog

[angelicaldazes]

WOW

this is truly amazing!!! u have got real talent wish i could animate like that =/

[CrystalDraco123]

Lol. ^_^ I felt that the griffin just wanted to help, and you could see by his face. He wasnt trying to cause any really bad harm, hm? am i right?

[LapraslvX]

This is far beyond amazing. It is obvious that you put quite a bit of time an effort into this animation.

[Rexaros]

best animation with this program I ever seen

[0tterzindawaterz]

i couldnt have chosen a better ending myself

[PheonixQuill]

@mbarreras8 depends on how you draw them, mine does

[lils846]

how long did this take???

[feeloader]

@mbarreras8

actually, no

[LongFingered]

......you sir are EPIC. zomg......

[Albatross0123]

Griffin FTW!!

[totrice]

very nice but the dragon sould have won

[jonathanjkeller]

Very cool.

[Blendiv]

Amazing, 5 stars for animation and drawing. This is beyond skilled and must have take a world of patience.

[MissZiggyZoo]

Omg That Was Amazing! I So Wish I Could Draw Like That! I Love Dragons(:

[Stiltonator]

This animatic is awesome and only goes to further prove the phrase: "if it looks good in black and white, itll look good in colour" - You really should take the time to colour this, as its a great example of your obvious skills as an animator.

[cooltyrannosaur1]

thats a wyvern. and i like the vid and all but, a wyvern can tottaly pwn chimera.

[diesel7268]

why does the griffin have horns?

[wupomLines]

out of all the griffen could of done at 2:45 it sits down and watches wtf?

[RatteGonzo]

like it veeery much! :D the drawning, the animation <3 wonderful

[tukky93]

OMG this is soo awesome

how long does it take you to make something like this?

[LostWorldRaptor]

HAHA! Maybe that bee-yotch dragon will think twice before messing with the Griffon! poor griffon....

[helldrake77777]

this video is so awsome, i just didn't get what happened to the dragon ?

[FaunaDragon]

@helldrake77777

He drowned :(

[helldrake77777]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!­!!

[Darkfoxdemonx]

this is so beautiful and well animated! I hope to someday be this good!

[mcf7021]

please could you do a fight between an gryphon and a hippogryth

[capsulepictures]

@mcf7021 The gryphons will still prevail either way.

[mcf7021]

@capsulepictures yeah it has too win so i can rub it in my sisters face she says hypogriffs are better than griffens

[capsulepictures]

@mcf7021 *gasps and facepalms* XD Wow....

[mcf7021]

@capsulepictures her thing is mcf7022 so tell hershes wrong i cant believe im twin to a hypogiff adict

[capsulepictures]

@mcf7021 Naaaah, you can tell her. XD Hey, she probley thinks the same thing about you though. *Shrugs*

[ReighnDrac]

What's this song? It's beautiful.

[SaziSkylion]

It's like a scene from Fantasia! Very cool!

[WolfwithredEyes]

wow it looks beautiful *-* very nice *-*

[ObloquyCondemed]

This is Holmesian music... I approve XD

Awesome animation too!

[michostylo]

deviantart como siempre excelente :)

[LacunaWolf]

The angles in this are so great! As are all the walk sequences. <333 @-@

[MissFlying1]

ur very good :D but its a bit hard to undestant ^^

[rattypink]

The Griffin pwned them all. And he looked like he was only trying to help until the dragon attacked him. But the Chimera started it all. Rude I say!

@rattypink thats my name woo LOL
