Gryphon Design Test, Temp. Ref

When I were still in school in Borås, a girl in my class and I used to talk a little, and she drew, and still draw, amazing birds and gryphons, so I felt like I wanted to make one aswell, and she said she'd love to see me make one, and that's where the idea began :3
So, a few days ago, this girl from my old class, ~Exynthie and I sat around derping on Skype, and started talking about this, and she helped me find pretty birds, helped me with the bird part of the anatomy, and then this pretty little girl was born!
Many thanks to Sofia

Info!

Name: Iris (Pending.)
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Spieces: Gryphon - Serpent Eagle x Lion

Apperiance and Biology

She have an eagle head, with lynx-like ears that she can angle any way she wants, but they usually lay flat against her head like shown on the picture. A collar of white feathers and thick fur covers parts of her neck/chest.
Her front feet are eagle feet, very large with bent, sharp claws to tear apart her prey. Her elbows have some feathers.
Her body and hindlegs are of a lion. Her body is very slim and she's pretty agile. Small tufts of fur on her "heels."
She have a modified lion's tail, with a big fluffy end.
She does have wings, but they will be optional, with a big eagle wing option, small pixie wing option, or no wings at all C:

This is just a test and her design and such are still an undergoing process, but I hope I will be able to make her a proper ref soon!~

Many thanks to ~Exynthie, check her out, she's amazing~
