Thank you! I really need to draw an updated version of her... However it's been so long that I've drawn ANY Gargoyles I've lost my grip on drawing them.

I will make sure that I'll do that! The only thing is though is that my friend is married now and we both live in different counties (I think) from each other and we rarely call each too because we're so busy.

This elderly female is beautiful. Biut the wolf and the bear Garg just take the "resemble" (animals in this case) thing too far once again. Everyone is doing it like this. Everyone. I don't know why.

Hey thanks! I'm glad you like my elderly female! (Don't tell anyone, but she's secretly my favorite too! ) As far as the animal gargoyles are concerned, I agree with you: just throwing in a random anthromorphized creature with wings and calling it a "gargoyle" isn't really really fair. However, I will say this in my defense:1) Real gargoyles often are real animals or composites of real animals (here's a winged wolf in Croatia[link] ) 2) The animals I chose were animals that figure prominently in Norse mythology; I chose a fox and bear because these creatures are in carvings, stories and artwork, etc, and they held value in Norse society 3) In the Gargoyle Universe, these heraldic gargs aren't uncommon; Leo, Una, and Raven and his "clan" (seen here as a wolf, bear, and eagle gargoyles --> [link] )are prime examples. So, there ya go, just felt I needed to play Devil's advocate there for a moment. And once again, I AGREE with you; "random animal person with wings" does not necessarily equate a gargoyle!

Um, thanks for the long reply.
I know the London Gargoyles "resemble" "heraldic" "animals". Have a look at my gallery to see what "resemble" means.... many people don't get this word, apparently. It means that a Gargate/Gargate has, by chance, some features that remind humans of a certain being/animal. Nothing more. These features can also be mixed in every possible way.
Raven's clan doesn't count because these are a Child of Oberon and his Totem Beasts. Grandmother clearly states that the Totem Poles are not Gargoyles but the ancestors, and that Gargoyles never lived on Queen Florence Island.
Also, people need to think about what Gargoyles are and what Children of Oberon are (like Gods and mythological beings!) before drawing something that "looks kawaii" and such. Kitty-cat Gargoyles anyone? *facepalm*
But thanks for agreeing with me, overall. I'm always glad to have a good discussion, and although I'm a canon nazi, that doesn't make me a troll. XD

«I did what I could in the time I was given; I know these look a bit rough (...)»
Bit rough?! This looks amazing. No! This is stunning. And I mean in all aspects: anatomy, poses and especially design, I just love your colours palette in every single one of them. You, my dear friend, did a stunning job. I bow before you . You made me jealous of your fantastic skills.
I like your re-creation of the clan. Is yours to take and modify on your will.
About the characters:
Gosh! How, and who, to even start: Isblom and Gudlaugh are by far my favourites. Gulurbyrn, the way you drawn him, looks great. The aquatic gargoyles, love the idea of a beaked aquatic gargoyles: love it. And Sigdis, she reminds me of Orin, which is awesome. You did marvelous in all of them, not only the design,, but their written as well
Congratz of such marvelous work.
Now, I'm super jealous of your fantastic skills xD
