Artist's Comments

Here's my entry for MGC about Zodiac Gargoyles.
I decided to design horns for each zodiac sign. I spent so many times on these designs but I hope you like them!!!
The colors I picked are traditionnally attibuted to each signs... I had so much trouble with the aquarius ><
Tomorrow I'll post a larger version of each zodiac gargoyle, if you want to see it closer.

Designs (c) Karell Clara (Coda, it's me ^^)

Genial! Each gargoyle concept fits perfectly its sign! :D

OMG, I saw the thumbnail for this, and I was like, "How cute. I should really do a series like this with my Zodiac characters!" And then I look at the title and say, "Oh. Oh well. At least my designs are original." ;P

I'm being annoying, I know. This is vastly imaginative!

d'awwwww! I really REALLY like how you designed the Cancer gargoyle. Love the spines on the forehead, and the Brooklyn-esque face.
You'll have to forgive my focus on only Cancer, but it being my sign, it's the one that I'm most versed on.
Silver skin was a great choice, symbolically as well as artistically. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and its metal is silver. Also, artistically speaking, the light gray silver matches perfectly with the white hair and the gentle blue background. The choice of a male is a rather interesting one, since a female would more naturally express the symbolism attributed to Cancer: moon, water, motherly, empathic, etc. I like that you decided on a male, since it's more challenging, and thus, shows your talent in a brighter light.

I must say, I am equally impressed with the rest of the zodiac signs. Each has such a distinct, unique personality brought by your talent, especially your amazing skill at human-like faces (and the awesome ability with the non-human, like Leo and Cancer). The use of the horns as a more distinctive way to personalize each gargoyle was a stroke of sheer genius. I can't really pick a favourite (though Cancer's obviously on the top fav ;) ), they're all too good.

Sadly, I really can't remember everything about astrology, so I can't really give each sign their own little comment. On the other hand, there is, by coincidence, a way to tell you how great this piece is. You see, the next piece of art I add to my favourites will be the 100th fav.. and from what I can tell, this collection really deserves to be favourited.

So, without further ado, I end this ramble with a congratulations on 12 jobs well done (one for each sign) and I head off to make this pic my 100th favourite.
