Having learned a lot in Ponyville, Gabby returned to pass on some of what she learned to the next generation of griffons. The griffon fledglings seem to be very enthusiastic about it. Also Gabby found some allies among the griffons already. Gilda seems to have become a kind of bodyguard for Gabby, protecting her from the anger of less enthusiastic adults. Greta has taken it upon her to clear up the library (Twilight would certainly approve). On the right we got Grampa Gruff who doesn’t seem to share the griffon fledglings’ enthusiasm one bit. The shopkeeper griffon appears to be positively unsettled by the announcement of something being offered free of charge, while in the rear another adult griffon is rubbing the chin / beak possibly wondering if maybe Gabby and her helpers may be on to something good.The background is a screenshot from S5E8 “The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone” from which I removed Gilda and Pinkie Pie.

I drew this for the New Character art challenge by GJ301

It is still going on until February 20th 2017. Maybe you want to submit something too? I hope for the organizers of the challenge to see their work rewarded with plenty contributions.
