Gargoyle by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Gargoyle

A gargoyle is designed to help water flow away from the roof, they are usually grotesque or monsters. Chichester Cathedral has depictions of modern day people.

Northy asked me to do a lens distortion for my get-pushed challenge, I tried making it spherical, I added twirls, I zig-zagged it, but none looked good. I then found a button called lens distortion and used that to make him more bulbous!
@northy wondering if this one might be a bit too subtle as well ?? I had fun learning about Gaussian Blur, different effects and other buttons and sliders none used hers!!!. A great challenge to help me learn Affinity

Without seeing what he looks like before I would say he looks like a perfect gargoyle! How fun to have one thatโ€™s contemporary!

I know Lincoln has replaced some of theirs recently, but like for like I think. Definitely modern with the specs!

A funny modern gargoyle with the glasses. Nicely done.

What an unusual little fellow! Great choice.

Good choice. I think that is a good amount of distortion.

@kjarn oh so funny,!!!
@robz a grotesque is a face on a church that just decorates and no other function, usually very ugly!!
