Description
PLEASE FULLVIEW! Sorry about the long load time, I wanted to show off the details.Finally done! This demon is constructed from different views of the same skull and piece of wood that I've used in all my still life drawings for art class this semester ([link] [link] [link] ). Part of the reason I chose those objects was that I thought they might come in handy in designing a demon, and when my teacher assigned us to do a "surrealist" image, I saw the perfect opportunity. This final drawing came out a bit different from the digital concept sketch [link] , but I like the way it came out, overall.
27 x 40, pencil & charcoal pencil, at least 12 hours.

Wow, I love seeing demon art that isn't generic(...like mine).
Not only did you do the contrast with the shading well, the contrast between the smooth surfaces and the detailed ones makes it more interesting.

Thanks very much! I'm glad you like it. Though I'd hardly call your demons generic. "Inspiring" is more like it.

This rocks !
I love the overwhelming amount of small details, must have been a real pain to draw. BW contrast is also very fine. Looks real good for a pencil drawing

Considering the level of detail, I think you finished this one up quick! The upper part of the demon is crazy.

This is one of those pieces that you think, it's gotta be an illustration for some epic story or something.
Sweet beans, that is nicely-rendered! The chestplate looks rather like the underside of an animal skull. I like the "barlowian" floaty bits, too.

You're actually spot on, I used the underside of (what I think is) a catfish skull as a reference. You can see some less surreal views of it in the artist comments.
Thanks so much for the comment!

Excellent work on this. Have you every seen Wayne Barlowe's work? He has this amazing book of demons that this reminds me of. Very nicely done my friend!

It's funny you should mention Barlowe, because it just so happens he's one of my favorite artists, and a major artistic influence. That my work reminds you of his is very flattering.
Thanks muchly for the comment!

my pleasure. Do you have his latest book about his trip to hell? Amazing work!

Is it... Barlowe's Inferno? Brushfire? Or is there a brand new one I must get my grubby hands on?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Inferno. I haven't seen any other new ones but I'll keep a look out!

incredible detail, you have pulled off the look of the diamond very impressively, which supposedly isnt as easy as it seems. Very well developed piece you have here. The shading is well balanced through out this piece as is the lighting. Excellent piece

Thanks very much! The diamond was a bit hard, I had to re-edit it a couple times. I'm glad you like the final result.
