I've still got Gargoyles on my brain. Please know that my heart belongs to The Trio and the single brain cell they share.

#gargoyles #gargoyles disney #disney gargoyles #disney's gargoyles #lexington #brooklyn #broadway #they may share a brain cell but obviously Lex is the only one to ever use it #I'm gonna try to post more often!!

@shadowpuppetteer thank you for the nice comments about the baby gargoyle drawings! It motivated me to go draw some more ideas.

(Everyone go check out this artist and their gorgeous inking in particular)

(No babies were injured during the making of these doodles. Baby gargoyles are like cats, and Alex is a magic baby who can probably float.)

Bonus:

Sometimes it takes a village to make accommodations in this world. Even if it's to flip the bird.

Buena Vista Style Guide, Disney's Gargoyles (1994)

Size Comparison & Color Callouts

#disney gargoyles #disney's gargoyles #elisa maza #david xanatos #demona gargoyles #goliath gargoyles #broadway gargoyles #lexington gargoyles #bronx gargoyles #brooklyn gargoyles #hudson gargoyles #i tried to figure out if this was actual model sheets or from the buena vista style guide #i'm inclined to think buena vista because the numbering system seems to be the same #and the inset on the trio is included as a blown up image #i'm also wondering if something happened in the original scanning process because xanatos and elisa look much paler here than in the show #because they never look like that. not even 'full light' scenes.

Watching Awakening Parts 4 & 5 is mostly just me waiting for my favorite failwoman to have a bazooka-assisted meltdown on national TV

#gargoyles #disney's gargoyles #this whole exchange is flippin' incredible #girl you went from 0 to 60 in 0.3 seconds #she was happy for like… what… an hour? before it all started falling apart #for someone who’s been alive for so long you think she’d’ve learned some patience and subtlety #but no all she really knows is how to betray first and not ask questions later #anyway I can't do justice to her and all her character flaws in these tags but she's incredible and tragic and complex and I love her #demona

My Retro-Cartoon Ramblings, Part 5

I am not going to insult anyone by telling them they need to watch Gargoyles. This fact is self-evident.

youtube

Taken series-by-series rather than by franchise, it is the king of the Battle Animal Genre, even if they're not technically anthros.

Great characters, great story, great animation, a fan-frikkin' tastic voice cast, as deep of lore as you could hope for. The fact that it has yet to be rebooted or resurrected or turned into a movie is baffling.

In my book, the way you reboot a kid's franchise to work for a sophisticated audience is you "Gargoyles-it-up". Rich characters, a sorrowful undertone, scenery-chewing villains and a satisfying lore.

But Will Riker in a robot Gargoyle suit is also here. (He represents capitalism.)

Now taken by franchise, the TMNT of course rule the battle animal roost.

They made the genre, even if there were others who were scrapping for that place at the time. I can't tell you the kind of switch that went off in kids heads when we first saw this:

youtube

You can not understand what the initial TMNT wave was like unless you were there to get caught by it. Context doesn't help. A nation of children botched our save VS ridiculous but extremely fun bullshit, and my kidvid/toy aspirations crystalized just a bit more.

What gets lost is just how bonkers the show actually was. While remembered more like an AdverTtoon in the Has/Ken model, with wisecracking action figures going on sci-fi capers, the reality was way more Looney Tunes. An old lady pulls an assault rifle on the boys in episode 1!

The whole thing is exceptionally cartoony, though not in the way a lot of latter-day crossovers would have you believe. The world is less wacky-for-wackiness's sake, and is more the exact kind of world where "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" make sense.

It's the one thing that makes OG Fred Wolf TMNT unique among all its other variations, reboots and predecessors. Everywhere else, the boys are the barometer for weird. They're the out-of-place thing in a (more) sane world.

In 87, they might live underground, but the turtles are cool-kid everyman characters. They're normal New Yorkers compared to the tourists from Dimension X and the horde of mutants, robots, robot-mutants, and a grown man calling himself the Shredder that show up each week.

Coming out of the first major wave of turtlemania was like awakening from a fugue state.

I love Gargoyles, but whose idea was it to write out 2/3rds of the main cast for all but one episode of a 22 episode arc? Kingdom was a great episode and all, but it was nowhere near enough to balance out the other 21 episodes and it shouldn't have come halfway through the arc. Goliath and Elisa had already been missing for days by the time the Avalon 3-parter was over. Why didn't Kingdom happen then? And why were there no other episodes exploring what the other 2/3rds of the clan did while Goliath and Elisa were gone?

Where's the episode where Hudson has to grapple with possibly having outlived yet another younger member of the clan? Where's the episode where Lex laments that even with 20th century technology (including this fancy new thing called the internet), he still can't find a trace of his missing family? Where's the episode where Broadway finds some time-sensitive clue to Goliath and Elisa's whereabouts but the clan can't act on it in time because Xanatos decided to take advantage of Goliath's absence?

The lack of the majority of the Manhattan Clan is made worse by the fact that, at least in my opinion, the gargoyle the show focuses on almost solely in this arc is the least interesting one. Nothing against Goliath, but the Trio and Hudson are infinitely more interesting to watch than he is. And it is taking this man way too damn long to learn the lesson that sticking to tradition when it hurts your loved ones is a bad idea. Tevye learned the same lesson in way less time, and not because Fiddler on the Roof is a short play.

TLDR; The Avalon World Tour Arc needed less world touring and more Manhattan Clan.

#at least the one episode with the rest of the clan gave my favorite garg some much-needed love #even if maggie didn't #disney's gargoyles #disney gargoyles #gargoyles avalon world tour #avalon world tour #goliath gargoyles #elisa maza #hudson gargoyles #lexington gargoyles #broadway gargoyles #brooklyn gargoyles #manhattan clan #david xanatos

It's Gargoyles time! Revisiting my very first fandom after a considerable time away. I'm having a ton of fun figuring out how to draw my favorite Scottish gargoyle ladies from the SLG and Dynamite comics series. Absolutely LIVING for every panel they appear in, and I love how much "screentime" both Sacrifice and Antiope have had in Dark Ages. Even though they’re all new to me as of last year, I'm retroactively imagining them in so many situations, particularly True (I'm still working on a little fanfic about her, so I've been drawing her the most. Been giving her lots of different facial expressions, and this was the sketch I liked best!). And even though I didn't include Alesand from Dark Ages on this page, I absolutely ADORE her too <3

Common Era dates are shown in parenthesis, indicating the timeframe I depicted each character in.

#gargoyles #disney's gargoyles #gargoyles dark ages #there is no reasonable way to tag these characters but I love them

I recently watched Gargoyles for the first time, and I immediately knew I had to draw them because every single gargoyle design on this show kicks ass.
