*climbs up and sits on Goliaths's leg while he reads.*

Goliath is one of my favorite gargoyles.

He'd probably raise an eyebrow and just keep reading.

that'd be just fine. *purrs and curls up on goliath's leg.*

Think he'd mind other things while he reads? *grins evilly.*

I don't think that would be a good idea! Eliza might would be jealous...

pfft I think she'd be up for a little sharing. if she was included.

Badass he is my favorite great work dude its ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AWESOME!!!!!!!

Thanks man. I do love his design and his deep, sexy voice but I go back and forth between him, Brooklyn, and Lexington as my favorite gargoyles. Goliath is all muscular and studly but Lexington is just so cute.

You dat's right
ULTRAAA COMBOOOOOO!!!!

Nicely done, I was always loved what an intellectual gargoyle he was portrayed as. :)

The longtime awesomeness of the series definitely warrants putting them in Kingdom Hearts III. :D

Gargoyles always had really good characters and I loved how he's this big, intimidating guy but also a great leader, a lover boy, and always reading. Putting these guys in Kingdom Hearts III would be incredible, but a lot of younger gamers might miss the reference.

Yeah there is that one problem, and yet somehow Tron Legacy got in Dream Drop, even though it wasn't that impressive. Japan ate it up for some reason and I'm not sure why.

The other problem stems from the fact that Gargoyles was not popular in Japan. I forgot where I read it, but there were some claims of them not "getting it" as they watched the episodes. Lots of "what's the point?" type questions.

This is awesome, and he has the expression of "What the fuck have I just read?"

I was trying to give him an intense look like he's really interested in what he's reading and thinking deeply about it, but yeah, it does look like he's stumbled across some of the fanfic written about him. XD

Just imagine what'd happen if he saw fanart of himself... it'd tramatize him for life.

Or Goliath/Thailog slash.

oh that would tramatize him so much that no therapist would be able to help him.

or perhaps he just finished reading Twilight?

Great tribute piece!!

Thanks my scaly friend.

Goliath was always my fave~

Man I miss that show! The kind of crap kids are growing up with these days doesn't even compare to 90's cartoons.

I could not agree more...and it is literal crap...I feel like the last good cartoon was courage the cowardly dog lol.

Yeah, pretty much. People always say jokes in pap like "Adventure Time" and "Regular Show" are really deep, but I remind them that one of the only cartoons to win multiple Emmy Awards was Batman the Animated Series, because the writing was just THAT good. Back in the 90's, shows like Rocko's Modern Life and Animaniacs that had episodes either banned or censored because they were THAT racy, and shows now get away with a lot more, but in a much less amusing manner. Animaniacs also had great gags based on double entendres, or making fun of the fact there were hidden adult meanings (like when Wakko would sometimes say "Good night folks!" after they said something particularly cheeky) instead of just doing gross/dumb things up front like cartoons now do.

Well its not even just that at least the 90 cartoons had morals lessons and BIG WORDS. I am shocked whenever I go watch shows like Extreme Dinosaurs and especially street sharks at all the scientific terms and big dictionary words I never realized that I was learning lol. I was always kid that read but still I look back on those clips and go dang that's where I learned that from? All of the 90s cartoons that parents now say are inappropriate are a hell of a lot better then the crap they let their kids watch now. And you wanna know why they were called inappropriate? Because of muscle structure (like our wonderful gargoyles here) And violence. Mostly Violence. In things like Tom and Jerry and bugs bunny. Why does it even matter!? In the things we watched they expressed pain! That's why the gens that watched these shows don't do anything stupid. That or we had the brains to be able to understand that it is a cartoon! lol. Sorry to rant this mess just drives me nuts lol.

I have to admit that kids shows seem safer and more generic nowadays but there's still creativity and clever writing. I'm told Avatar is supposed to be really good. There's good and bad in each generation's TV. Yeah we had Gargoyles, Darkwing Duck, and Batman when we were kids, but we also had to suffer through Bonkers and The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Avatar is one of those few great expectations. But unfortunately it is true most of this gens cartoons and shows suck flat out honest here lol. I like Avatar Air bender but I can't get into Korra...it's like they made her try too hard idk.. Another one of the new good ones is the how to train your dragon show lol. And the new gen of my little pony. There are some good ones but they are just so few and far between now. =/ I mention those 3 because they contain lessons and morals and realistic reactions to the things they have to deal with. Kinda like gargoyles here. Not as deep as gargoyles but still good lol.

I loved gargoyles...they don't make amazingly emotional and life lesson show's like this anymore. Still to this day it is an amazing show to me. Never gets old. My personal favorite is the gun episode where Broadway accidentally sets it off. I loved that lesson in it. I also love how the show would emphasized past lessons and how it would effect their futures. The characters actually grew and matured that's one of the reasons I loved the show so very much.

There were mindless action shows and shows that really hammered in the moral at the end. Gargoyles was one of those that struck the balance between. Lessons were hinted at but never really spelled out. It didn't treat kids like idiots. The continuity was also something a lot of other shows lacked. Maybe other animated shows just go through a ton of writers and directors, but in Gargoyles when they made a plot twist they stuck with it (Broadway and guns, Demona's changing to a human, etc.). There were plot holes but later episodes would always fill those in. And yeah, the characters change a lot during the show, particularly Brooklyn and Broadway who were really just comic relief in the first episode later have their own trials and responsibilities. I also like how no character is completely good or completely evil, but everyone's motives leads them to believe they are doing the right thing even if they are clearly not. Goliath, who is usually the incorruptible hero, has some lapses and even Demona has her good side saving Macbeth.

Okay, I've gone on too much about this show already. Glad you like the picture. XD

Ah ha don't worry we are just all speaking in passion of the show you didn't rant. I'll tell you a secret. When I was a little girl I would take my baby blanket put it on my back like a cape and try to walk like a gargoyle XD. Haha so if you want to rant about one of my favorite childhood shows go for it! lol. I would pretend my blanket was a pair of wings. xD

yeah, this show was the best animated series of its time. I got the entire thing on my desk XD
This makes me want to watch it again.

I know what you mean. They need to bring this show back.

oh and just to reply to this they did actually. It was on Disney XD for a little while...not sure if it still is.

No, I mean like a new season.

I wish XD I always wanted to see what happened after the humans accepted them. Might have continued in the comics. Yep there is a comic book series.

I think you really outdid yourself with this one. He looks great :)

I dunno about that, but thank you very much. ^_^

Ah great memories <3

Why the tears?

1. it's Goliath the bad ass of the bunch and like a wise Gargoyle.
2. Even though the series is on internet wish they made more of the show.
3. you did a great job with Goliath.
4. Just another great childhood show that I love the most

No matter in what way he is drawn...Goliath rocks! Lovely piece.

Why thank you. Everybody loves this big stud.

Welcome! Not that hard to guess why ;3

Ahhh, just makes me wish they did more with the series. I almost hope they don't reboot it, lord knows Bay would try and snap it up.

Part of me thinks that Disney should revamp the show but then another part of me worries they would cast the Jonas brothers as the Trio and Kristen Stewart as Elisa Maza.

That's a thought that had not occurred to me. Thanks, that'll haunt my dreams.

I wonder what he's reading about. I missed your artworks, big guy.

Thanks, I'm doing a ton of artwork but I have yet to color it all.

Good to know. How are you these days?

LOL, you're probably right.

I love the show, I love Goliath, I love that particular episode.

And I love your art here, beautiful and intense and detailed and amazing. Definitely worthy of the Wyvern Clan's leader. *HUGS*

I dunno if you're hugging me or Goliath, but I'm glad you like it.

You of course. ^_^

I wonder how Goliath would react to a gigantic musclebound Scottish lion hugging him?

I'm not sure...there are several possible reactions. I prefer the ones that are either sexy or funny. ^_^

I think he'd just look very worried.

Sadly likely.

Remember Claw? The tiger mutant who can't speak? I need to draw him.

Yes. Yes you do.

Goliath also has a sexy gargoyle chest in the cartoon and here.

Of course he does. ^_^

*hugs and grins.*

oh man I love this so much! Im a huge fan of Gargoyles

Cool, I would love seeing this behemoth in your style one day.

that's for sure :D

I for my part find the character of Goliath very fascinating. On one side he represents moral values like courage, wisdom, tolerance and justice. On the other side he also shows that he isn't infallible: He swears revenge and the start of his relationship with Eliza is rather ... clumsy. And that makes him adorable: He combines the intimidating musclebound guy with the awsome charismatic and wise leader and the adorable/cute/awkward lover.
And Claw, the mute tiger/bat mutant is just... CUTE! The first time I saw his expression I was like: OMG! I WANNA HUG HIM! I have a little sister and I think she would love to have him as a teddy bear/protector hybrid.

I feel the same way about Goliath and oh my god, Claw is my favorite behind Goliath. I have a thing for huge, musclebound shy guys. I definitely have to draw him in the near future.

Would love to see more Gargoyles stuff in the future! Love this piece of art, not many people try to capture Goliath's intellectual side. You did a wonderful job. (But I do sometimes wonder how he reads with those massive pecs in the way.)

Why thank you. I'm glad you like it. Goliath is one of my favorite animated characters: big, buff warrior stud who's also real wise with a soft side. I think he can juuuuuuuust barely see over his pecs, but if I ever draw him again, I can make no guarantees I won't bulk them up even bigger.

Cool! He has much to learn about the last centuries!
