HERMIT A DAY MAY - DAY 29

Hypnotizd x Gargoyles

Minecraft youtuber Hypnotizd drawn as a gargoyle from Gargoyles. He is a gold colored gargoyle with blonde hair. Hypno is holding his real life fluffy white and light brown cat, Max, and smiling sweetly at him as he pets him. Above him and Max is Hypno's name in a pointy yellow font on a black background with a white outline around the entire word. The entire image is on a blue and purple gradient background.

For Hypno I chose the fantastic cartoon Gargoyles!

Hypno gives me cool 90s guy vibes and Gargoyles was my absolute favourite non-anime cartoon as a kid, so I had to include it! And, honestly, I just thought it'd be fun to draw Hypno as a gargoyle. I love the way he turned out.

To learn more about Gargoyles, one of the best cartoons ever, please continue below the cut!

The story of Gargoyles follows a group of warrior creatures called gargoyles who lived alongside and defended humans over 1000 years go. Despite acting as protectors, they were feared by humans and slaughtered in their sleep. The survivors of the massacre, a group of 5 men and their pet, were frozen in stone for eternity by a curse and doomed to never awaken again.

However, 1000 years in the future, an eccentric billionaire named Xanatos found a way to break the curse and brought the gargoyles back to life in modern Manhattan.

The story primarily follows the displaced gargoyles as they struggle to adjust to the shock of waking up in an unfamiliar future as the last members of their species.

While the show has plenty of action, as the gargoyles secretly protect the humans who live alongside them, the show is rather deep, often tackling nuanced issues like prejudice, mourning, and finding your identity in a culture that is not your own. Gargoyles also references a ton of mythology and literature and is arguably, in addition to the main plot with the gargoyles, an adaptation of multiple Shakespeare plays.

If you've never watched Gargoyles, I highly recommend it! It's one of the best serialized cartoons out there and I say that having also seen Avatar: the Last Airbender so you know I mean it.

Style references:

An intimidating light purple gargoyle named Goliath. Goliath is about like 7ft tall or something. As a gargoyle, he has large bat wings, clawed hands, pointed ears, horns on his head, a long kangaroo-like tail, and digitigrade feet with large, reptile like talons.

This is Goliath, the leader of the gargoyles and the a dual protagonist alongside his human love interest, Elisa Maza (who is one of my favourite female leads in anything ever). I would also like to add that Elisa is mixed race (Nigerian on her mother's side and indigenous, mostly Hopi, on her father's side) which was really unusual for a TV protagonist in the 90s. I just think that's cool, good job Gargoyles.

Goliath smiling lovingly at a human woman who is hugging him. The woman, Elisa, has dark hair and is wearing a red jacket. Her eyes are closed as she hugs Goliath and she is smiling as well. Goliath's large clawed hand is resting gently on her shoulder. They are standing together in a room that looks like an office at night.

Goliath and Elisa - I just wanted to show you how cute they are with each other. Love is real and you can find it with this detective lady and her 1000 year old Scottish bat creature friend.
