| Design Process | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The guidelines for the design were: It had to be a stone gargoyle, as the ones seen on the gothic part of Barcelona It had to be a fantastic monster, but a cute, charming one. I don't want to scare children (unless i'm designing a haunted house ride, in wich case I have to make sure they enjoy the scare!!) It had to be manually operated It had to fit on my apartment stairs...and be easily transported. |

| the first drawings show some of the basic themes that ended up on the final version; a lionlike shape instead of a demon or human shape, heavy brows, big puppy eyes and a kind of goofy smile. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| After several tries, I made a clay miniature of the head and was pretty much satisfied with it...so I turned my attention to the pillar that was the support of the gargoyle. In some of the first versions the character had legs, and in the design I kept the wings almost to the end...well, because I like winged gargoyles! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| now a practical, ergonomic issue was at hand; �were would I be, inside, and how to see without being seen? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
