My friend came to Moscow recently for a visit and my bro and I dragged him to my cottage and there we had a Gargoyles marathon xdd.
It didn’t look like it would happen, but then we got hit by XANATOS. Well, as usual, I was also struck, in parallel, by the Bible’s references. I can never get past it… So as soon as I started to realize the obvious “David and Goliath” thing, I wanted to use it in art. I thought it would be cool to make a reference to a painting from classical art - the subject is popular.
I immediately thought of Caravaggio with all three of his variations, but I just couldn’t use it. Then I saw Jacob van Oost with his version and everything fell into its place. I love parallels of this kind, and Xanatos is very much like someone who would collect paintings.

I’ve sold a surprising amount of my Notre Dame gargoyle sketches on some Redbubble products lately. These sketches were based on photos I took when I climbed to the top of the cathedral when I was in Paris in 2011. I’m really happy to know others are enjoying them!

Some more characters from a thing I’m trying to write.
The blue girl is actually a gargoyle made of labradorite. Her name is Lola and I love her a lot.
Fun fact, the only reason demon dude has a ponytail is because I binged Adventure of Sinbad for a week when I drew him.

love is in the (h)air
My Stoneborn lad, Hoplite, that I’ve been designing off and on for the last couple months. I’m having fun with him in my guild so far too, which is always a plus.

btw you all have to stop talking about gargoyles when you actually mean grotesques. not because i actually care that much about using the correct technical terms but because those wretched beasts deserve your love and recognition too.
basically, for those unaware of the difference:
gargoyles: freaks with a job, created to drain water from the roof
grotesques: freaks for the hell of it, created when one guy dared to ask the question “what if there were some absolutely disgusting creatures just hanging out on the roof”
both:swell guys who deserve your admiration and make architecture look metal as hell
Gargoyles are the plumbers of the architecture
Grotesques are the models
They’re both respectful jobs
Strange Owl, or The Spirit of Trying
What the heck are you,
You strange, long-necked bird-thing,
Looking down on the square from high
Above the cathedral’s central window?
Someone who had never seen an owl before
Must have been your sculptor;
He was deeply confident in his accuracy,
Much to the likely dismay of his patron.
Wings wide-spread at the center,
Wide-eyed, loudly shouting,
Carrying your song, such as it is,
To the highest of heavens.
Placed where all eyes are drawn to you,
You are a crowning glory,
Clearly intended to convey
The importance of this endeavor.
But I thrice name you differently:
Spirit of Trying,
Spirit of Not-Actually-Failure,
Spirit of Ostentatious Confidence.
For you stand tall and proud in your space,
Awkward and hard to define,
Just like us, when we are at our most assured.
Be with me, Spirit of Trying, as I do my work today.

Legend tells that the Lincoln Imp was turned to stone after causing havoc in the cathedral. The city of Lincoln have adopted the grotesque as their mascot- Lincoln, UK
