I remember Gargoyles...just a couple of days ago me and my friends were trying to remember all the things we watched when we were younger. I think your gargoyle is brilliant, as is the detail! im so envious of your talent!

Neat! I love all the Celtic details, especially the standing stones. Very cool. I'd love to know more about this character!
Congrats on Mod's Choice!

I loved that show!! and the movie.. fantastic!! You did an awesome job on this!! I'm glad that I read the intro.. because I would have gone on and on how he reminds me of the gargoyle (the red one?) from Disney!

:-) J. ´Kythera´ Contreras replies: "Thanks! (The "movie" was really just a different edit of the show's pilot, just fyi. ^_-) I can't say I really see the resemblance to Brooklyn, though... especially since Mórguú doesn't have a beak, and is a she, not a he. ;]"

I really like the Celtic knot at the bottom and the swirls on the stones...it's nice change to see gargoyles with a Celtic influence.

Yeah, it sort of reminded me of Brooklyn too. I think its the shape of her legs, how she is posed, and the look of her tail. I guess its just one of those "Is it just me or..." things. 2

Great work! I love the shading, posing, and and and and...

Also, a request. Try not to color this one, I love how monotone the blacks, whites, and greys make this picture's emotion sort of speak for itself.

Very VERY nicely done! I especially like the carvings in the rocks. Great shading technique too.
