Description
Greta Griffon, one of Princess Gaia’s most faithful and loyal students, grows concerned when she stumbles upon a grim prophecy during her studies. The dreaded griffon king of the starry skies, Grigory Gloom, is fated to return at the zenith of the Crimson Moon in just a few days! When Greta informs Princess Gaia of the imminent disaster, it takes only moments for her trusty companion Plume the Phoenix to receive a reply via Phoenix Fire. Flabbergasted, Greta learns that the Princess isn’t taking her research seriously! She’s told to go and socialize with the kind country griffons of Griffonville in order to oversee preparations for the upcoming Crimson Moon Ceremony. With a sigh and a groan, Greta boards a chariot and makes haste to the settlement, unaware of the adventure and new friends that await her! The only question is… did Princess Gaia send her out in time?
Ah, so to somewhat explain this… we had a “role reversal” theme for our most recent art-jam and I kinda turned it into an alternate universe thing for my entry. I think it still counts…? Griffons are the bringers of friendship and peace in this world while ponies are just grumps. Anyways, I’ve been on a huge griffon kick these last few weeks so when this idea came to mind, I quickly seized it and put it to canvas. It was a bit laborious to do a 6 character group shot, but I think it turned out really well! Initially, I just made the center photograph you see here, without the scroll or anything else… but I had to take it one extra step further and complete the parody. Had a blast with this project, would definitely watch a My Little Griffon show, for sure :y
Oh, for those that are curious, nah, I didn’t do a full design of Princess Gaia, but rest assured she is very, very pretty. Maybe a secretary bird with a white tiger mix? She’d have special wings, prismatic feathers and glowy jewelry, probably, something to signify her magical powers. My headcanon is that griffons use enchanted jewelry and intense magical training to harness the forces of magic in their world along with friendship of course, though that may be a secret!
I may go ahead and upload the clean photo as well, just for fun. Next things on my plate are probably a Halloween pic and another style emulation, though who knows? Whatever comes to mind, I’ll try and commit it to canvas. Aight, until next time, keep it classy, ponefriends ;)

You bet I have.
your current filter.It’s Madame Birb! Here to see your brethren or in this case sistren eh?
Edited
Well, consider me along for the ride.
Pfffft
Yep! While they are mimicking the Mane 6’s positions, their actual elements besides Greta’s ;) will likely be changed up a bit. I do have some ideas in mind for them already, so we’ll see as I continue developing things! I’ll try and make sure their personalities fit well with their respective elements.
@Clever Clovers
He may very well have a royal role… at the very least, he’s got a full family in this timeline, so make of that as you will. I want to make him into an important side character for the AU, someone the Griff 6 will be able to get some help from here and there. He may not be a king, but he’ll be very close!
Hmm, voices… well, my headcanon for Greta is that she has a soothing voice, something that fits her overall look. I think Tabitha St. Germain could do a voice that is sweet and sincere for her thinking about Luna’s voice, something similar?. You know, just for fun, I’ll jot down some of my ideas for voices for each griffon, despite not being anywhere near powerful enough to pull off an animation with professional level voice acting. Gilda’s already all set, she’s got Maryke Hendrikse’s awesome voice. Erin Mathews has Gabby covered, she did a great job with her though I still have a soft spot for that Polish voice actress’ (Barbara Garstka) portrayal of her… just so cute!. Gimme Moore was actually voiced by Ashleigh Ball; I wonder if she’d still have a deeper voice or if something lighter would fit her better? In the AU idea I had, she’s not as money-minded as she was in the Griffonstone episode, so if Ashleigh did her again, she’d probably have a gentler tone? That leaves Irma and Natalya… Irma (our black and white griffon friend) would probably have a higher pitched and peppy tone to her voice, something energetic and light (and maybe a little nutty at times). Kind of like… Janice Kawaye, she did XJ-9/Jenny, actually, if not just a slightly lower-pitch. Maybe even Tara Strong? Natalya (bottom-center black and gray) would have a slightly Russian accent, but also… maybe like a Nicole Oliver kind of voice? Nicole Oliver doing a slightly Russian type of accent, probably, that could be fun.
GASP OP noticed me! I love your work, both explicit and non-explicit! :D
Headcanon accepted (until FacelessJr tells what Gallus is actually doing in this AU).
