Description

Following the theme, if not particularly the medium, of Inktober's first day prompt: Fast. And judging by my experiences working in and/or visiting New York, I'm sure no one in central Manhattan even blinked an eye / noticed our lovely heroine falling out of the sky, nor her purple knight in shining loincloth. For those unfamiliar with the awesome series Gargoyles from the 1990s, c'est vraiment triste. Educate yo'selves, it's worth the watch just to hear the entire cast of Star Trek: Next Generation and Deep Space Nine in recurring and cameo roles. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargoyle…

One of the things I like most about Elisa Maza's character is that she is rarely put forth as a damsel in distress. In many cases, in fact, she is the rescuer and as good a fighter as the gargoyles she protects and loves. She and Goliath's relationship is built on rock-solid (forgive the pun) friendship, trust, and understanding that their worlds are often miles apart despite close physical proximity. They are really a "Beauty and the Beast" type of couple, but without Elisa having to get Stockholm Syndrome first... ;) That, and pistol-whipping cat fights that somehow (mercifully) leave little blood to clean up.

As to why she's falling here, it's anyone's guess. Let's blame Xanatos for this, it might coax him into making a cameo in future fan arts. Not really his style, but meh. NB: I love him as a villain.
