This is Arrk, a gargoyle demon that hails from the Demonic Realm in my 'Eternal Saga' world.
It is important to note that in 'Eternal Saga'; my fantasy world, there exists creatures like demons and angels, but that doesn't mean that demons are all evil and all angels are good.
Arrk is one of these cases. Arrk is actually a good guy character of mine that was captured by the demon lord Zeleme and was enslaved. Or at least, Zeleme attempted to enslave him. The black collars that Zeleme uses usually have enough power to control or break most demonic creatures, but not Arrk. In fact, Arrk has six on him, yet they are unable to affect him.
Arrk is strong and resilient; because he's a gargoyle, he needs to have the extra strength in order to protect who/what he is charged with, but that is one of the problems with Arrk: he doesn't have anyone or anywhere to protect because of his capture, and that actually bothers him a great deal.
Back in older rps, Arrk would eventually find someone that he cared for and became their guardian so he could fulfill his duty. In one old rp, one of them was a young boy of a royal household that a friend of mine played; he was as much interested in Arrk and Arrk would develop a soft spot for him.
This sketch is meant to be a 'last stand' for Arrk; the set up is that Arrk is running after some companions in an escape when there's a cave in and he protects his charge by literally holding up the tons of rock that have collapsed. He gets everyone to get out just in time for the rocks to come crashing down ontop of him and sealing the passageway, saving his charge and his companions.
It's...kind of a sad scene, but it would be something Arrk would do.
This was done during a DnD game, so hence the lined paper. There is a good chance I may try and finish this somehow, once I work out how to fit the companion into the scene.
