Quand un challenge part en sucette.... la consigne c'était de dessiner notre personnage en l'imaginant être chacune des espèces présentes sur le forum, à savoir : Humain, Sirène, Dryade, Banshee, Vampire, Harpie, Efrit, Loup-Garou, Labubu (What ?????) et Stryge.
Parmi tout ça, il y en a une de vraie mais laquelle ? Haha Personne ne sait puisque tout est secret sur Crimsonveil !
“As an illustrator, I see gargoyles not as mere grotesques, but as sentinels of stone—crafted with reverence to ward off darkness. Their fearsome forms belie their true nature as protectors, standing steadfast against the evils they are sculpted to repel. Through their intricate designs, they remind us that even the most unassuming guardians possess a sacred purpose.” — Brittany Chargois
This is my original quote, y’all ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️🤩✨
This is how I see gargoyles, just like my favorite gargoyle statue from Notre Dame de Cathedral with the angel wings and spitting its tongue out. Yeah, that one! I drew this during my participation of Portfolio Day on social media. As you may all already know, I’m an illustrator who draws both traditionally and digitally on Procreate. Realism is my favorite illustrative piece to draw because I drew everything beautifully especially the grotesque ones like gargoyles. Well, I think they’re beautiful! 🤭💕 Don’t you agree?

Anyway I had not drawn original content in a long time so here is a warm-up sketch of one of my main characters from my future book
c - The Call of Cthulhu
Here's another commission for Sans détour éditions, ( www.sans-detour.com ) for a supplement for the french Edition for the Call of Cthulhu tabletop Roleplaying game. Again, a lot of the new creatures in this book are Lovecraftian riffs on classic mythological creatures from Greek,Celtic and roman mythology, as Marseille has been a meeting point of these three cultures. The stryge is usually described as a winged vampire-like creature, but here I was tasked with drawing a lump of flesh that hangs at the ceiling of caves to eat creatures. It's probably the most disgusting thing I've ever drawn, and I guess in this context it's a good thing.
