Gargantuan by Name, Gargantuan by Nature (Patreon)

🎺 Dah-nuh, dah-nuh, dah-nuuuhhh! 🎺

Finally got this piece finished!

(Re)-introducing ガルガンチュア・ドラゴン Gargantua Dragon, or ガルガン Garga for short, the final Buddy of the anime series. 

There’s not too much to say about Garga – he’s quiet, stoic and gets easily embarrassed about how much of a big eater he is.  Whilst he’s not the biggest Buddy, he’s definitely one of the largest main character Buddies, probably a head taller than Batzz; Garga definitely was tall enough to look inside a second-storey flat (apartment) without issue (somewhere between 20 and 25 feet).  So for once I’m not exaggerating the size here.

Garga took surprisingly well to living amongst humans; even taking up the mantle of what I guess nowadays would be a v-tuber (the human protagonist, Yuga Mikado, ran a ‘Paltube’ Channel).

Anyway, Steve Olsen gave Garga a rather warm voice in the dub, so I grew to like the character. He may not have had much of a character arc as Batzz or Drum, and it took me a while to get to grips with how to draw him (given the lack of fan-art), but well, I tried.  Besides, a part of me rather likes being one of a handful of Western artists who drew/draws Garga semi-regularly.  Thank you so much for allowing me to do so.  

Enjoy!  (attached the full-size image)
