...which is exactly what I intended.  I know they're less clear than a
much larger version would be, but that is what happens with smaller
ascii pictures.  With smaller pictures, fewer details can be added.
To clarify, I have added descriptions and pointed out which parts of
the body I am trying to depict.

gryphon sitting, wings open, tail and upper body upright, front legs
off the ground

wing         
 \         
  `->(\   
     (((7<---head and beak 
   , `"()/<------foreleg and paw
   ^`-(), 
   |   ^--hind leg, comma is paw
   `--tufted tail

gryphon seated, wings furled, upper body and tail on ground, kinda
like a winged sphinx

wing, furled
  |   _
  `->/((7<--beak and head
   ._(),)_
   ^-.^--hindquarters
      `-tail 

gryphon rampant

right wing
  `->(\ /)<-left wing
     (((7)<-head and beak partially obscuring left wing
   , `"()_<-foreleg
 .->`-()_ <-one hindleg
 |    \, `
tail   ^--other hindleg

Just for refrence what did you think they were?
