(Concept Design Doodles) Duke Astaroth!
🕑 Added 2017-04-26 19:29:24 +0000 UTC Just a rough design concept I've been in mind for a while, and I have to draw something else aside from Patreon rewards. This only took like roughly 7-8 hours off my work schedule anyway."Duke Astaroth" is the 29th demon from the Ars Goetia's 72 demons. This is taken and recreated from the Lesser Key of Solomon. You can go read it on the Wiki as I had these idea popping up in my mind right away once I discovered and learned about it.
There's no actual story or anything for this. I just want to base my designs on something and demonology is what I tend to research a lot recently. So there will be a demon form, and their human form which will be in the present day's settings. May be these demon lords sneaked in our human society for some grand evil plan? Who knows. I just made that all up just when I was typing...
I'd want to draw all the 72 demons just for fun eventually... If I could, that is. This really serves no purpose but using up my creative juice or I will explode.
Quoting from the wiki
"Astaroth is the prince of accusers and inquisitors. In art, in the Dictionnaire Infernal (1818), Astaroth is depicted as a nude man with feathered wings, wearing a crown, holding a serpent in one hand, and riding a beast with dragon-like wings and a serpent-like tail."
So I came up with this design of the demon form. (I'm making them all female, if that's not obvious XD) and Astaroth also has the power of;
" ...he is a demon of the First Hierarchy, who seduces by means of laziness, self-doubt, and rationalized philosophies."
So I made her human form a Youtuber! Hope this makes some sense... Not like I see Youtubers as a lazy job. Hell no, I'm a big fan of many Youtubers and Minecrafters and I watch crap loads of videos and love all of them and know their job is hard af but yeah, like, Youtube does make people watching them a little lazy, doesn't it? I mean it kinda slows down my working speed watching Youtube videos... may be I should stop XD
This is Astaroth's wiki page if you want to read further --- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astaroth
If you guys seem to not hating on this, I might do more. Hell I want to do more, but I can't do this a lot since I'm on a huge delay on rewards. I'm really sorry for drawing doodles at a time like this T__T

Hi Fuya, Iโam a bit late but I just wanted to say that Iโam glad to see you doing something more for yourself and as I already wrote before, if you want to do more like this or something else just do it. Also you piqued my interest; I wouldnโt mind seeing more of those girls or some other creations from you. :)

Whoa, this is cool!! I'm a fan of the Goetia demons as well; Haagenti and Malphas are probably my two favorites. Great work on this, thanks for sharing with us!

Nanatsu no Taizai Sin actually released tons of great figurine toys long ago and people knows the series from that. The anime is just an attempt to expand the franchise and to sell their things better I think. I wanted to draw the 72 demons as girls the moment I learned about it, but to have them having a human form, I kinda got that part inspired by the mobile game called Destiny Child made by Haung Tae Kim, the artist who made Blade and Soul Online. The guy is my forever inspiration and hero.

Did you get inspired to draw demon girls because of that Nanatsu no Taizai sin anime out right now?

If this is what you like doing for your free time, then go ahead! We all know that you'll get the rewards out, delayed or not you will get them done. sometime and we can be patient o3o. I know how most artists can get flocked with a bunch of work/commisions at times so its always good to try to get a breather if you need it. I love this idea though, and the designs are real good! Maybe one day when you finish designing all the demons, you could create an artbook out of them and send that out as a reward or sell it on Gumroad or something ^^
Love the idea. I also think that YouTube is my kryptonite. ๐
