THE PROCESS

Print PDF So as I am waiting for the glue to dry on the hezrou ( i think i have been mis-spelling it hezroa all over the shop) , I decide to share some of the elobarate design procedures and extensive concept drawings that go on behind the curtain;

 some demogorgon heads and some fat thing vomiting souls

axebeaks. I really like what was going on for the top left one, like a super streamlined murder machine, like roadrunner but like with it axing shit. beep beep.

demogorgon was gonna have like an x in his forehead . But meh.

I may have spend nearly a minute on this drawing. It hurt.

I AM SO EVIL I HAVE 2 HEADS SO I CAN YELL AT MYSELF

hezrou ideas. Or slaadi.

vrock..and roll baby, ah I'm sorry that was real dumb.

this picture of a basilisk on the other hand is like, the opposite of dumb. "undumb" if you will.

squak squak stab stab

babau and hezrou sliding into muppet templates

bears, beetles

glaberzu (spl?), the boar/ape one that I can't help think would sound like rodney dangerfield (nafeshnee) and I'm thinking I will give a kiss the chef apron (kiss the psychopomp?) and some kind of jaw on leg arms thing

glaberzu! So these are like the sneaky, cunning , demons. But still like mayhem incarnate , so I.m thinking it should have this sly dog kinda thing with its little human arms, but have its lobster arms looming the fuck out over it and barely under its control. Like its trying to be all suave and convince some archmage about some dark alliance and its claws get bored and start pulling down light fittings and ripping up books,all while mr glabrezu (m.d) is trying to maintain its veneer of charm.

hezrou..

babua
..

hezrou again, starting to get cute

and yeah this is the one I started sewing from

and some more demogorgon , coz I'm making a mini one. Any day now.

VROCK

Print PDF The Vrock! 
 Gleaming eyes and verdigris inlaid spear! Dirty tattered wings! And 2 pack a day smoking habit!
Used wire in the claws , a little bit of fabric paint for colour, silicon sealant on the face for sheen and shaping, and pva to hold the wings together.  And the spear.
I got fancy again.  Prob will do so for the hezroa too. When I was making the giant ape, it kept trying to be a slaad or a hezroa. So this should be a piss in the cake right?
I should start making a minidemogorgon for a friend, but I'm procrastinating because mandrill faces are fiddly with those little coloured patchs. I might give this one a double butt to go with his double head.
Here are the photos oh eager children of the grime and muck:

SUCCUBUS

Print PDF Well I have been all like I.T warrior and made internet modem blah blah obey my sassy tyranny. Ha.
This is the succubus, she's modeling a fine example of the ruffle the fuck out school of dress making, as commonly seen in various wedding shops in brunswick , coburg etc.
She has also decided to slaughter the entire wedding party with a broken champagne bottle, because when your chaotic evil , its not a party otherwise.
I got way too into some details (like the face), leaving me skimming on others (like the hands).
Not that you can tell, but the head actually had the musculature crudely sewn underneath before the face was pulled over, and slits cut to allow the shiny eyeballs to beam through. Beam through menacingly. FIERCE!


So.. detail. the more you do the less it matters. Like a hyperbola curving to the x axis. Its a lot of art, I think, knowing what to leave out , as much as it is to add. I think I would be happier if I captured the essential essence (wait , maybe that's redundant?) with couple of lines of stitching and good use of fabric choice, rather than battle it so much with fiddling around with hair and eyes and lips and wedding dresses. No wait, scratch that last one.
Wedding dresses are awesome. The bottle was made from a gauze fabric and pva and then some silicon sealant to give it some gloss.

  NEWWWWWWWWWW

SO...

Print PDF So Imma getting proper internet on the 8th and will be updating like a dried fruit in a elevator (gettit?).
Have done the succubus, and 2 commissions (an owl and a panda). Just waiting on the convenience of home interneting rather than having to highjack my friends computers all the time.


 Until then!!!

ORCUS, DEMON LORD

Print PDF So my vodafone internet stick is doing increasingly horrible and weird things to my computer.

So I'm actually gonna get around to getting proper internet. But at the moment, no internet, and this post will have one photo for now, because am using the internet at friends house and so have only the photo that was on the deviant art site.

His mace is massive and has screaming souls and pointlessly elaborate spikes. If Orcus had a car , I do believe it would have those spinning rim things.

Bam! More photos because it is the future of befooooorrrreee!!!

MANES

Print PDF Manes are the weakest and most dweeb like of the demons (called tanar'ri later on. I actually prefer tanar'ri to demon, makes the cosmology of the whole thing less chauvinistic).
This one (is mane the singular of manes?) has some elephantiasis shit going, and gut sloughing over its vermicile penis. Vermicile means worm like, don'tchaknow, although the spell check keeps wanting to spell it vermicelli, which is the noodles I think. Which are named after the resemblance to worms. Vermin I think comes from this word as well. Rodent comes from a latin word meaning to gnaw (rodere maybe?) and that's where erode comes from as well.
What? oh yep the mane(s?). Here it is:

  The photos are taken in a kitchen OF DESPAIR actually no its pretty homely and lovely.
Next up: orcus!
Orcus is probably gonna have a massive malformed dong. It always annoyed me when stuff was illustrated with smooth crotch especially if it was a monstrous humanoid demon thing. Like its just a god damn dong, draw it if its gonna be there, is it really gonna make people cry?
Well according to various internet comedy sites; yes seeing dicks make cis-gendered straight males cry.
Might I recommend a sprinkle of Harden the fuck up?
It would make me laugh hard if people complained that dicks made it inappropriately sexual, when like 87.65546% of everything in advertising, rpgs, fantasy, comics etc is heavily sexualized, if only in a softporny way.
Okay sorry about the brief rant, I'm a little bit dosed up on pain killers and generally a moody bitch tonite.
IN conclusion:

DEMON; DEMOGORGON, JUIBLEX

Print PDF Woo! These were fun!

  There's slot of detail on demogorgon that I didn't really manage to photograph well. So I might dump some more photos here later.
I don't really have any interesting blather to add today. I'm tired and seething for no real reason.
Anyway, here is Juiblex, the facelord, prince of the oozes etc.
In some of these photos I do believe Juiblex looks like a angry space kebab.
 Was thinking of adding various buttons for eyes, but I felt the hook here was trying to get a strong form , while still being "faceless", ie not resorting to "blob with eyes" to make it anthropomorphically coherent visually.
Success? Maybe!

More demons soon! yay! demons!
