Description This painting is available as a limited edition series of prints from my store.

I painted something that doesn't have scales! Go me.

Seem to be on a bit of a roll lately. This one was my husband's fault inspiration again; he mentioned something about gargoyles, and it occurred to me that it's been AGES since I drew anything gargoyle-related.

So these lovely fellows came about, guardians at the entrance to a mage's castle. And I don't think visitors in the dead of night are much welcome...

Digital painting done in Photoshop.

Gargoyles are so cool, I've thought ever since I was little and I watched the tv show^^

They still show it, just really late on Disney XD (or is it the Hub?) Ehh, can't remember

Both gargoyles look amazing! I'd feel sorry for the person who angers them, though

Bu-but I wanted to comment on your process. O: It is very clean and efficient. I'm taking notes!
I love the textures of the stone. They look weathered and craggy, but somehow very alive.

Clean and efficient! Hehe, it's probably good you can't see the chaos that goes on between the steps.

Wow.... blown away. So gorgeous! :-D I adore the spooky feeling the night sky, moon and clouds gives the scene... the stone work is gorgeous as well, and I love that you also post your painting process. It's incredible to see how it goes from sketch to complete. I just love your work!! <3 One of these days I'd like to write a story to go along with your artwork. :-D

I think I'll hire these guys for my new apartment. Orlando'd be a breeze with them protecting my home! ^^

btw, Epic art is still epic.

Replace 'real' with realistic.

Been a little too long since I got to paint creepy things! With Halloween fast approaching, I might have to do more.

If I wasn't trying to save for a new engine I'd seriously consider commissioning a picture of my dragon-disguised-as-a-horse character. (His name is "Two-bit.")

MsRedNebula In reply to Iron-Ed [2012-08-14 04:55:00 +0000 UTC]

Hm, well... I don't have commissions open at the moment, but keep watching the journal; I might have an announcement coming up that is relevant to your interests.

Iron-Ed In reply to MsRedNebula [2012-08-14 11:15:59 +0000 UTC]

I'll definitely be watching but, like I said, I'm mostly saving for a rebuilt engine for my vehicle.
