Happy Labor Day everyone, and speaking of resting an idea that’s come to my mind while getting back into the groove of drawing by making some Gargoyle OCs: do you all think Gargoyles Clans have their own... “bedtime routine” for lack of a better word? Just like how Gargoyles of the Ishimura Clan face backwards before entering their stone sleep (which makes me wonder if Katana does that or if it’s a more recent cultural thing), how do you think Gargoyles did in their last minutes before sunrise?
When I got the idea of drawing my Loch Ness Clan Gargoyle OC in stone sleep alongside their “awake” form, I took inspiration from ship figureheads and now that’s how I think some of the Gargs from Loch Ness before getting into stone sleep alongside them “camouflaging” themselves as “figureheads” that somehow got into the Loch in days long past
Other ideas I have are that Gargoyles of the Pukhan Clan get into rows before entering stone sleep like the Japsang figures in Korean architecture; while Gargoyles from New Olympian Clan (specifically those descended of Clans from Rome and Greece) have a habit of “extravagantly posing” in both imitation of marble statues humans sculpted and also camouflage; and Gargoyles of the Mayan Clan lied on their bellies and/or opened their mouths as wide as they could. It’s not exactly a reference to the Mayan/Aztec/Incan architecture I’ve seen in my research on my idea but just reptiles sunbathing
Maybe I’ll come back with more ideas on how the remaining and past Clans slept, but what are your ideas?
