Description Ugh, if I see one more elephant I'm gonna die @_@ (yes yes, I was barraged with refrences like whoa). As you all know I'm not too great when it comes to doodling male characters of -any- species, so I rarely do them unless they're like kids. Well this bad boy is a guy AND a large guy at that. So I went to some pretty good refrences right here on deviantart, namely they like them big and muscley over there so...yea.
Ganesh, one of the only two (adult) males in Ilianna's clan. Despite the 'angry' pose he has going here, he's rather peaceful. He's cozy with Kali [link] for who knows why, (who knows maybe opposites attract?) and is the unoffical second in command. All the sketches I was doing of him were looking very much like what he is-an elephant... so I'm rather pleased that I finally produced something that fits the look I was thinking.
Yes, he is a gargoyle and yes those are small pygmy wings. I don't care what anyone says, gargs like Broadway, Hudson and our ever lovable 'bigger' gargs should not be able to fly with the wings given to them. Its areodynamically impossible @_@ well, to me anyway. Anyhoodle, there's a story beihnd why his wings are so small, you'll find out soon enough For now, enjoy my lineart and give me some ideas on what color he should be. I was thinking 'sacred white elephant, but i wanted a secondary color to compliment it. Ideas?

lol, I'm studying Hindu art and mythology, and I wonder if you have a drawing of Hanuman?

Haha, I wouldn't use my gargs are studious reference- they really push the envelope when it comes to Hindu mythology

hehe I guess I missed this one. The little details are awesome. The little tiny wings are so funny lol. And you're right, realistically the gargoyles probably couldn't fly/glide with thos wings - but I guess some suspension of belief is in order

Now that is the niftiest gargoyle design I've yet come across. I would have never thought to fashion one after an elephant--you mostly see cat-like ones and the more common mammals. Great work. :3

awesome lineart... though I agree that it's not possible for gargoyles of robust size to fly... [or any of them for that atter when I think about it...]
I still believe it's certainly possible for them to be able to glide, granted the wings are large enough... which is all they can do anywho lol.

I always thought of gargoyles as chickens. they have the equipment, but can only manage a couple seconds of airtime I wasn't even going to try to draw wings big enough for my garg, the pygmy wings match the pygmy ears indian elephants tend to have anyway ^_^

I always loved the white/blue/silver color schemes. White gold is love...
Maybe like a blue-tinted grey as opposed to anything too dark?

Anyway... nice job stepping away from traditional gargs =3
I like the hoofish toenails.
