Lucifer

Lucifer dwells in Dante's Hell - a cold fortress of ice where all feelings die. It is hidden away in another dimension, time & space.

Lucifer is part of 2 illustrations. The other is Michael, above.

Phase 1

It's been a while since I foreshortened legs, so this pose was a challenge but so far, so good.

Phase 2

Does the hair look good on him? I opted for wild, unkempt hair to give Lucifer a savage look.

I've eliminated the skeletal frame of the wings, now they're gathered feathers that resemble a cape.

Phase 3

Added chains & shackles.

As for the background, I decided to go with Dante's concept of hell - a cold fortress of ice, where all feelings die.

Phase 4

Altered the hair, made them look "clumped" together.

Altered the shoulders & arms, made them bulkier.

Added horns.

Added ornaments around neck, arms, ankle & horns.

Phase 5

Outlined in ink. I took away the chains & shackles. That looks better.

Phase 6

Shaded-in face & body.

Phase 7

Shaded-in hair & ornaments.

Phase 8

Rendered feathers with a heavy point, leaving space around Lucifer for a fine point - this gives off the illusion of emanating light.

Phase 9

Shaded-in Ice blocks & shards. Did not feather the textures so they would look sharp & rough.

Phase 10

The background is generally black save for the trailing cloud in the back. This gives off a feeling of Hell being somewhere hidden away in time & space.
