Description Otherwise titled "MGC May 2009" and/or "Who me? Write fanfiction? Nooooo! XD"

Edit: Here's a [link] to the original drawing, in case anyone is curious as to what it looked like before I colored it.

lol, No I'm not off my hiatus.
This was a pain in the butt to get finished because it involved bouncing it back and forth between my PC and my mac to make sure all the colors looked right.

The only reason I decided to do this is because this month's topic in the Monthly Gargoyles Contest is "Fanfiction Illustrations", and I absolutely can NOT pass up this opportunity to shamelessly plug my fic.

Link to the Contest Main Page

Now, in the description they said to draw a scene from the fic, but I couldn't really decide on any one particular scene. =/
Mostly because I love all of my main characters, and the only scenes where all of them appear at the same time are all scenes that are way too complicated for me to even hope to draw properly. XD
So instead I decided to go the route of "If 'Gold Demona' was a book, what would its cover look like?"
And this was the end result.

So yes, this is the entire clan, drawn all together for the first time.
Up front and center, of course, is Gold Demona herself.
On the left-hand side, from top to bottom, we have Professor Mac Hen, Krypto, Markl, Red, and Boober.
And on the right-hand side, from top to bottom, we have Vaala Marsaille/Xanatos, Jigen, and Silverbolt.
Now, originally, I had Blackarachnia on the right-hand side as well, but I just couldn't get her to look right. So, I opted not to include her in the pic, which is ok because she doesn't show up until late in the fic anyway, so she's only "sort of" a member of the clan.

But yeah, I know the left-hand side is a little crowded. =/
I tried my best to rearrange them so they'd fit better, but this was the best I could do.
Aside from all that....
Overall, I'm REALLY happy with how this turned out.
It took me forever to shade all these characters. X3
It was a real challenge keeping the shadows consistent. ><
But I think all my efforts paid off in the end.


Edit: I totally forgot to add a link to the fic. lol XD
So, if you haven't read it already, here are the links to both versions of the fic so you can pic which one you'd prefer to read.

- The Original Version
- The Reduced Dialect Version

This isn't showing up for me, either in the thumbnail or the actual deviation. WTF.

Aaaand now I remember why I switched from IE to Firefox so long ago on this machine - IE crashes every time something tries to load a flash file. -_- WAY TO GO, MICROSOFT!

Personally, I use Google Chrome on my PC.
IE crashes too much and Firefox is paranoid. P:

Oh god. I'll most definitely pass on Chrome. >_< Spyware, AHOY!

As for Firefox being paranoid...I'm not entirely sure what you mean. O.o This is the first time I've ever had a problem like this, TBH. It probably has far more to do with the various forms of malware protection I've got going on than Firefox itself.

Meh, I'm just going by personal experience.
I've been using Chrome for a good long time, and I've had no problems with it.
I'm pretty sure I've had more problems with IE and Firefox than I have with Chrome.
Although I've heard some good things about the newest version of IE. Could just be corporate prop, tho.

Libberachi In reply to Whimsy-Floof [2011-05-14 04:32:51 +0000 UTC]

LOL. Yeah, it's probably just corporate prop. XD I still have version 7 and it keeps nagging me to update to 9. They can forget it.

Although I do have to say that I'm impressed with the recent version of Firefox's speed. It used to slog quite a bit after a while of being open, and I use a LOT of tabs...Apparently it liked to use a lot of CPU time to speed up general surfing, but the payoff was that if you had an older machine or did a LOT of shit online (like me >.>), it would slow down and even start to crash. I'm not sure what they did to correct that, but it's a shit ton faster.

Blah, blah, blah. I'm just spamming your poor submission comments with my babbling. XD I'll stop now if you like. :3

I just remembered something.

I would really appreciate it, if you or someone else could draw a likeness of me. Would you be able to give that a shot. You could have me in regular clothes and then have me in the Lupin costume next to me. No pressure or anything, I just wanted to try my luck and see if you would be willing to do that for me.

The thing is I am an artist myself, but I've never been able to get my likeness just right in cartoon form. Plus even if I could, it's always cool to see someone else draw ya. So if you could, that would be really awesome.

I really do enjoy your artwork, and yes the Gargoyle motif is very very cool.

As it stands right now, I've already got a LOT on my queue.
But I will consider it. So far the only real person I've ever cartoonized was myself. XP

Actually I'm currently in the process of trying to get a good pose together for it.
It's difficult because a lot of the good ones have already been used in the official pictures and whatnot. XD
And I don't wanna just copy off of official artwork. That's just tacky.

I've also got some 3d models of B1 droids in Garry's Mod that I plan to use as reference. :3

It never works in Safari. I don't know why.

I'd say try looking at it in another browser.
