Introduction

I am looking for an artist to help me figure out if my idea for a breeding system will work. I am not looking for final images but simple sketchy concepts to get a general idea of how this could end up looking.

Breeding System

Each pet is a gryphon. A pet has many “parts”. Each species of pet has a completely unique set of parts. See the images below, Gryphon A is one species of pet and Gryphon B would be a different species of pet. The unique parts, however, I am still deciding on. As an example of what the parts could be:

Beak

Head Shape(?)

Ears

Neck(?)

Forelegs

Wings

Hindlegs

Tail

The Problem

As each species needs to have a completely unique set of parts, I’m not sure there could be many unique variants of certain parts. For example if there was a neck part, are there that many different neck types that would work? Long fur, short fur, feathers etc. Or would it be better to combine neck and forelegs? Or neck and head shape?

Artist Requirements

I would like an artist to sketch out many different complete variations of these parts. It can be done as a full pet image, or each part separately (there needs to be an equal number of parts). To work with me in figuring out how many different parts is plausible and would work well for coming up with future species.
