Description

“The Devil”

 finished on 23/nov/2016

Inspired by one of my favorite Docs, “The devils bible”.

There’s something ever attracting about the devil, The “Gigas codex” contains many beautiful illustrations, but the page most are obsessed with is the one containing an image of Satan, The Gigas Codex was created by a single man and he made sure to draw a box around the devil so “it” can be contained for all eternity, trapped withing the codex pages.

Poor Susan got herself into quite a sorry situation this time. You did a lovely job on her angelic form even as she's simultaneously ashamed and terrified by the evil creatures. What horrific things are they planning to do to her and Jeff? (At first I thought it was her heart there, as in it's an open book. ) You did a wonderfully creepy job on the ancient minions, wonderfully detailed in their seemingly-decrepit forms and ghastly shapes as they support their lord. Gigas (?) himself is pretty menacing and scary, not least of all for the feeling that he's quite swift and shrewd. Whatever ceremony he's performing on the scared angel seems rather intense, and the rough blackness that consumes them ratchets up the intensity. However, the polka-dotted loincloth does make me giggle a little. Fantastic work, man.

Someone told me this is an artwork about loliness and seeking for companionship, I find that interpretation rated interesting, I now believe Susan was the one to Summon the devil straight from the codex pages.
Jesus senpai is going to be extremely displeased.




This is one in a series of drawings in which I draw Susan surrounded by religious motif.


According to the documentary the polka dotted loin cloth is a symbol of "supreme power/sovereignty", clearly, the artists back then dint count on the 1970's fucking everything up.
Thank you for the great comment.

Really cool version of The Devil. I also really like the demons withe the blindfolders.

Also, just so you know, I have requests open if you're interested. The journal entry with the details is on my page.

Thanks, I was out for a couple of days, I missed plenty of journals because they stacked into absurd numbers and had to delete them.

I do like to think of the blind malnourished demons as servants of the the Gigas demon, only there to guard the book and its current owner.
