My first mood board i looked at different architecture, as i want an idea where my gargoyle is going to be placed. And obviously the architecture is going to effect how the gargoyle is going to look like.
These next two mood boards are of gargoyles, one is a general look at gargoyles and the other looking at a particular style (gothic) of gargoyles. I really want to integrate the gothic style into my own design.
DRAGONS! I love dragons, and i really want to integrate them into my design. Though the idea of doing dragons is possible considered generic. Regardless, i think they are very interesting given and make a good looking gargoyle. I looked at what would be considered dragon anatomy and concept art of dragons. Also, some screen shots from Dragon Age.
In addition to my dragon mood board research, I've also looked through some of my old dragon books ('Working with Draogons' and 'The complete Book of Dragonology') that i had as a child.
Meaning it's impossible to get an actual real world reference to a dragon, i looked at lizards as a real world reference. I've also looked at lizard scales for texture reference and dinosaur anatomy as some form of reference.
H.R. Giger
I looked at H.R. Giger for artistic research. Though the Xenomorph isn't a dragon, it is however very reptile like. I also wanted to look at H.R. Giger for the style of his work. Not for the sci-fi style but the really creepy and dark styling of his work.
I've also done a mood board in regarding on how other's approach creating reptile looking things using Zbrush

I've done a mood board on wing anatomy from birds and bats, just to get reference for my dragon gargoyle's wings.
This mood board may be slightly random next to the other mood boards. However, I haven't gone mad. I am planning to add a base onto my gargoyle sculpt, to which I want to add a Victorian style pattern onto it. Also considering putting a Victorian style patter on the gargoyle itself, not sure if it'll work, but I am going to experiment on it.
