This week's Illustration Friday prompt is "surveillance", probably inspired from recent news events.
I drew this relatively passive gargoyle because I thought about old buildings and churches that have gargoyles adorning them. I think gargoyles were first included near the tops buildings to act as spouts for rainwater, and it's also thought that they warded off evil spirits.
Makes sense to me, since they had such good surveillance positions.
Well... before the NSA.

Great idea! I coulda used him at work to ward off the few evil spirits we had staying with us.
Oh Sandy. Gargoyles give me the creeps, but because you drew it, it has a bit of a sneer, like it smells the government. lol
He seems a bit blase about whatever he has under surveillance. Nice one!
He's a pretty friendly looking guy!
Nicely done! Is he stippled? He's got great wings and muscles!
Thanks Cindy, yes he was stippled. Inspired from your recent stippling! I like the end products of stippling, but I probably gave myself carpal tunnel!
Oh, I just love gargoyles! You did a fabulous job!
