Saw this a piece of amazingly clean line art in VKahri's gallery, and looking at his physical design, what with all those wicked thorny-looking spikes, well, I just HAD to color him! If you'd like to comment the line art, please visit VKahri's original black-and-white work: [link]

Now, when V gave me permission to color this, she mentioned that she really didn't want to see a green, red, white, black or gray gargoyle, since those colors were very common with fandom gargoyles, and even blue and pruple were seen quite often with all the Goliath and Demona work floating aorund DA. So I sat down and thought to myself, what's left? Well, a sort of bronze tone hit me over the head, and it worked very well, I feel, particularly with the bright red wing sails to enhance it. My scanner paled the colors a smidge, but otherwise it's accurate. Gave him green eyes just because, well, everyone loves green eyes, and black hair because you can get away with doing black without shadows, and by that time I was getting lazy... I'm a terrible person, yes. The face shadowing is not exactly what I had planned, but oh well, live and learn.

Colored with Laurentien pencil crayons
