== Fanstratics Troop: Gargoyle ==
Born of the Stoutblud's unique variation of arcane arts, the Gargoyle is ultimately... a golem.  Expertly carved from specially quarried stone, the Gargoyle's authors crafted its visual appearance from a creative amalgamation of contrary influences.  Across its surface, the Gargoyle is etched with numerous runic inscriptions, giving it 'life' while codifying its behavior.  Additionally, their rugged stone structure and mysterious arcane essence give them many natural immunities and, occasionally... the ability to imbue their Allies with magical resistances.

I’ve mentioned this before, but conceptualizing stereotypical fantasy creatures can be more difficult than rendering original creations.  Such is the case with a Gargoyle.  After a quick page of exceptional thumbnails, Justin worked through two rounds of roughs and produce a big, bulky, magically animated, golem-like Gargoyle.  Good stuff. 

For those who want to see Justin create the drawing, check out a VOD from his Twitch stream.
