Description I've been swamped with work these last 2 weeks, so you get a bit of a lazy post, my apologies ^^' 

That's this one (www.deviantart.com/keirathetig… ) but without the speech bubbles, so more as a complete art piece than cartoony thingy. 

To summarize the lore i'd written on the other piece : 

I redesigned this OC a bit compared to the previous versions. (his haircut now fits his skintone a little better ^^' Also is less outlandish than actual gold hair)

Being the Demon Lord of Greed, greedy mortals make contracts with him, when they want stuff (in my headcanon King Midas did just that, and got his famous "boon" from Mammon.)
The price for such boons generally being that, upon death, their souls become Mammon's eternal servants. (humans are so shortsighted)

And when you have an ever-growing number of ancient kings, heroes, warriors, noblemen, businessmen and the like, in your employ, for free, forever, and with no way out, the value of that insidiously become much greater than more "basic" riches.
(i mean, just with Midas, even if someone steals all of Mammon's gold, he can just make Midas make more for him.)

It's basically the difference between the value of the gold and the value of the gold mine.

So his wealth (and greed) run deeper/farther than just what you see.

Which makes him a very good fit for a shady businessman / corporate style.

Nice, polite, smooth at first, but in truth he's just trying to make use of absolutely everyone and everything he comes across.
'Power and control', as they say.

PS :
For the detail-oriented people among you who noticed the wedding ring on his left hand.
Headcanon : he's married to a fallen generosity-themed angel, dotes over her, gifts her a shitton of stuff all the time, and she always end up giving half of it away to demons and souls in need, to his absolute dismay. (because i need to lighten up the mood at some point)
