Har Wishes She Was a Gargoyle...by *Harseik

Digital Art / Drawings / Macabre & Horror

I've been really psyched about the Skyrim DLC "Dawnguard" lately, even if I don't have the game. I'm a SUPER HUGE fan of gargoyles, and after reading about them being in said DLC, I just... my nerdy heart imploded. They look smashing too, if I do say so myself. <3

This is my take on those lovable stone guardians of lore. Weirdly, I don't have a lot to say about this. I just... wanted to draw a gargoyle and let you guys know that I love them. .____. Roar.

I play Skyrim on PS3 - DAWNGUARD MIGHT NOT COME OUT FOR PS3 SO IF IT DOESN'T I'M GONNA SUE BETHESDA FOR NOT LETTING ME PLAY THE MOST EPIC GAME EVER CREATED!!!!!
And great drawing, by the way.

Just out of curiosity, how did you decide whether the arm or the wing was on top? Idk if this question makes sense, I'm just wondering about the muscle structure & whatnot.

*Harseik Aug 22, 2012 Student Digital Artist

I think I was looking around for which area had the most space to attach a large muscle to, and the back area beneath the arm seemed to be a good spot to place it. I've heard a bunch of different theories, but apparently it can go above, below, or right behind the arm - it just depends on your design tastes. As for me, I didn't want the scalene muscles to be ridiculously huge, so I had the muscle below the arm and had it slope upward, just so he isn't too top-heavy.

Now I hope I made a little sense. xD Here's a little something that could help. It's a four part tutorial that discusses the matter. [link] Theories might very well be different with four-legged creatures though.

ahhh cool, thanks a lot!!

I enjoy it when artists really think through the reality of the appendages and monsters they create, so I was just curious to know your thought process on the matter

I want to be a Gargoyle sometimes too .... or at least a Gargoyle Gecko, they have the most ridiculously adorable little hands.

*Harseik Jul 9, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Thank you, honey! I'm sure he appreciates that. ;D

I love the dark edge of the gargoyle and I really like how I can tell its one but that you also put your own modifications on this.

Har, you should totally draw yourself as a dragon. ;D You can be orange with a Superman symbol on your wings or something~

*Harseik Jul 9, 2012 Student Digital Artist

I have drawn myself as a dragon. [link]

Thanks a bunch for complimenting my stone baby.

~Aracely Jul 13, 2012
