Demons, Monsters and Myths.

Wow its been a bit of a while. I have been miserable as sin, surprising. Bawwhh But I did lods of work and I am pleased.
I am excited for Helen McCarthy's project. It should be lods of fun and finally a chance for me to be imaginative and stuff on something.

Briefing for that was like this:
"To create a character, based on yourself. The character can explore aspects of yourself that you would like to
have or be, or perhaps exaggerate things about you or even fantasy elements.
Produce a series of drawings/ sketches/a back story/ fully rendered images of the character.
You can also work in 3D - either digitally or model-making. Remember, Helen also suggested you could cos-play your character!"
Yep. As for cosplaying all I would need is a long lab coat and the clothes I already have, as I desinged my char basically on me exactly hahaha. Yay so this sounds fun c:

So I will be really working on this now, I plan to pull this work into the Enwrought story I have been doing, and adding way more scary and weird aspects (as its getting towards the end of the story now). This is why I have been looking into demons of medieval times. The depictions of demons, monsters, Satan and such are all very spooky and erry and just perfect for what I am looking for. Here is just a massive spam of work now for that.

The demon comes to man and woman. It has a beasts face and the body of man, wings and tail of a dragon, horns of a bull, and the feet and hands of a taloned bird.

The demon resists the power of their holy weapons and throws them down, teaching them evil.

It teases and mocks.

Before being shown the word of God in that of books.

And is then swatted away with sticks. The demon now leaves.

Dragon like demons.

Demon with wings and tail of a dragon, feet and hands of a taloned bird, breasts of a woman and a beasts face with bulls horns.

This demon is very common.

Here it is again. Always with bird and dragon features.

Demon with breasts, dragon wings and tail, bird feet and beasts face with bull horns. Also calling upon lesser dragon like demons.
Demon dragon violating a woman.

Again the weird same demon we keep seeing, dragons tail, face of a beast with bulls horns, bird feet and hands. However this one has the body of a man (not the body of a woman with breasts).

This one here is really weird. The body of a woman with breasts, the face of a beast, the horns of a bull but now the back end of a fish.

The same demon again, face of a beast, horns of a bull, feet and hands of a bird and the tail and wings of a dragon. And I think this one has a mans body.

Can you see a theme here? This one had a womans body and a crown. Bathed in flame.

Here are the sins drawn out. Monsterous demons.



Bird like dragon demon fighting a vision of Thor.

Serpent demon.

The triple headed demon beast that called fire down from heaven and water up from the sea.
The Unicorn is not actually always depicted as a wonderful all pure creature. It is often shown as a evil demon beast.
Here we see a unicorn appearing to a virgin girl, not because he is just saying hi, but because he wants to rape her.
And here a young man saves a virgin girl from being raped by a young boy who spears the beast in its side.
Its body is that of a
The duke of hell 'Amudusias' Had the head of a unicorn. He was not a nice guy.
A demon cast up from a nightmare. Note the weird chicken limbs.

A large painting based on that original image.

Skull demon.

The demon god of hell, who has more arms then he would really need.
Here at last, my fav picture. The same demon again, with the face of a beast, the wings and tail of a dragon, the feet and hands of a taloned bird, the horns of a bull and the body of a woman with breasts.

Why does this same demon seem to happen again and again throughout these images? It seems extremely common. I know it is likely that artists simply copied each others ideas of what a demon looked like, but I would like to think that there may be some strange twisted truth in what they could of seen. That seems very spooky indeed.
