Description

Finally a reputable vendor. Selling maps, no less. Kind of an odd looking fellow, but I'm not one to judge. Besides, I would sell my soul for a reliable way to find a manager. And I told the demon map seller exactly that. Unfortunately he didn't want it. Now, I'll admit, I was a bit taken aback. The clergy in almost every religion I've come across has been warning me, at length, about selling my soul for everyday items I might normally purchase with less spiritually detrimental currency. But here I am, in hell, faced with a honest to God demon, and he didn't want a piece of my soul. Sure, it's not in the best shape. When it came to sin I've always followed the whole "in for a penny, in for a pound" ethos. So my soul probably isn't as shiny as it used to be, but I'm sure it's still good for at least a map or two.

But I needn't have worried. The imp had recently sworn off soul trading, gambling addiction apparently, and was willing to part with his precious stock for some manual labor. I had time, so I agreed. Which is how I ended up helping him move his stuff out of his ex's apartment into a nice little three pit bachelor pad on the 4th circle. Little did I realize that selling my soul probably would be been easier. After the fifth trip carting that hellspawn's life size statuary collection, I almost called it quits. But, I persevered. And thankfully, on the seventh day, I rested. Which is when the demon gave me my new map. Mission accomplished!

So this is what an honest day's work feels like...I don't like it.

Finished this one super early, which was nice.
Demon is a bit weird, but eh... also those are eyes, not, you know...
Felt a bit like I lost some of the style I've been working with, not sure why. Probably has something to do with line thickness maybe. Another thing to work on for next time.
Had a lot of fun with the concept for this one. Originally was going to have a normal kind of map, maybe something representing the 9 circles, but this idea was too good to pass up.
Let me know what you think.
More on the way.
