Simian Speed Draw #211 ~BELPHEGOR
Description: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon the dawn of the Apophis Project was it so that they were made manifest. From seven mortals who reviled the sins of their fellow man did the Archdemons Grand receive their form. For each cardinal sin mortalkind had exemplified was created an opposing force made to serve as damnation in counter to the Archangels of Heavenly Virtue.
Those beyond the saving grace of repentance, those who refuse the aid of virtue- were cast to be the victims of the Archdemonic Deadly Sins.
They were the first of Demonkind, with Satanifa being the eldest. Nuo cast half of her soul into the lot, making her the second eldest and taking the new name Lucifrael.
Mammon, Beezlebub, Asmodeus, Leviathan and Belphegor followed after.
Belphegor was by far the tamest and most gentle of the sins. Unlike the other lords of Sin, she tended to woo her victims into a delightful dream from which they would never awake. Due to how often she sleeps, she was the progenitor of the term 'dream demon' and is responsible for the curse of narcolepsy that infests various members of the mortal races.
As most of her hunting was done on targets who were asleep in their beds in the astral plane, she might be the source from which all dream-demons draw their inspiration. While she is very often observed as aloof, she's remarkably kind in person, and has a warm, earthy personality.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This took short of seven hours, which is pretty incredible considering how well it came out. It might in fact be my favourite of the Seven Sins Designs.
She has a lot of similarities to both Fyori and Lazylee who are inheritors of her deadly sin skill quadrillions of years after her body had passed.
I was going for a sheep / mountain ram monster-girl kinda look. Sloth felt well represented by a creature so often associated with sleeping, to the notion of counting sheep to fall asleep. Belphegor is also often depicted as a Llama or Sheep in demonology and pop-culture so it was a fairly straight forward one.
With this complete, all seven sins are now concepted and have a full color render, bringing Seven Sin September to a close and completing the challenge I posed to myself- I endeavored to concept the five Grand Archdemons of Deadly Sin that had not yet been given form, and that goal has now been achieved! Go me~
