The idea for Gryphon Elegies came to be during one of my more depressive episodes, lack of motivation and will to do anything made me think if I could output those thoughts and so a comic about it came to be. It's meant to portray events and situations in a life of Loop with no real story except for some vague references to events that happened earlier.

The comic itself isn't meant to be fully depressing, it's meant to help convey feelings of how anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and the life of a highly suicidal person is. Sometimes it's sad, sometimes there is joy, sometimes it feels like the end is around the corner and then sometimes things are funny even if in a morbid way. Regardless of the contents it's meant to help dealing with those thoughts, and maybe it might help someone deal with it too.

If you're here and struggling with depression or similar thoughts I urge you to seek medical help, while it didn't help me much i've seen it be crucial for some people and it is worth pursuing. If you're struggling with suicidal thoughts at dangerously high levels, please contact your doctor, help or a hotline or at least reach out to a friend.

Be safe.

Loop is a gryphon, they are the main character of Gryphon Elegies. Not meant to be a full self-insert of the author but things that happen to and around them are based on how my own depression and anxiety is doing so it is a close representation.

They are a male quadruped gryphon, silvery white body with slight tints of blueish gray. Their eyes, wing feather tips and claws/talon tips are dark red. Their tail is long and disheveled resembling a rope with a loop at the end of it being their namesake.

Always tired and sleepy, they try their best to go through life. They are cheerful, goofy and supportive but their low self-esteem quickly makes those traits appear briefly and sporadically, usually during activities and when they are trying to be friendly and somewhat outgoing despite wanting to be left on their own. They have heavy depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts, leading to questionable behavior and things happening to them.

Sometimes putting up a happy face is better than worrying others.

Hello! I'm VoCrisSo, the author of Gryphon Elegies, thank you for checking it out!

I'm a self-thought artist and all around "media" creator for around 20 years now. From art, animations, some music, mods to game development. I do a bunch of different things that help me make ends meet and things I randomly get inspired to do. I'm not that good at them and a lot of those things are furry or furry adjacent, I just find the creativity of the fandom fascinating. You can find some of those through the link below.

As you'd expect (and maybe read above), I'm a highly depressed, post suicidal attempts individual with heavy self-esteem issues so starting this comic was rough on me but I want to try and leave something for people to enjoy and maybe relate to.

I don't know how long I'll be around to keep this project going considering my state but I will try to update semi-regularly, hopefully every few days or every week or so if I can, I'd love to be able to draw faster and more consistently. If anything I'd be happy to leave a little trace of myself out there for what it's worth.

Again, thanks for stopping by!
