August 2008: Chinese Gargoyles

You should all know by now how much I love the cultural topics... I've actually been saving this one up to tie in with the Olympics this summer, and it's finally here! So yes, the topic for August is Chinese Gargoyles - draw gargoyles from the Chinese culture, or have your favorite characters visit the country's landmarks, or illustrate a Chinese story... Get creative!! My only rule is going to be no political entries. I know there's a lot of protest going on over various things but this is not the place to showcase it. Thanks, and have fun!

Mascots by Nebulan! Thanks again!

September's Topic Will Be: Video Games Gargoyles - Garg up characters from your favorite video games, redo of July 2003. (Mascots claimed by Volpe de Fuego!)

Title: White rice or Fried Rice Artist: chaos destine [DeviantArt] Just some random Chinese female Gargess. How can they walk in those shoes?

Title: Count G's Petshop Artist: VoLpE de FuEgO [DeviantArt] The theme of China brought to mind two of my favorite fandoms: Petshop of Horrors and of course, Gargoyles ;p Here we have the mysterious Count Sofu D as a Gargoyle with some Garg beasts, including Brooklyn's future Fu Dog in puppy form! Being of Chinese descent, Count "G" (G for gargoyle) is the regal head of the movement to protect and breed the rare Gargoyle Beast species.
