Title Translation: God Wills it. (slogan of the crusades)

This started off as something for fun in my little notebook but then I got off into concepts and I ended up putting them all together in the end. Head shot ideas for 8 demons, mainly from the East Kingdom of Hell under the Rule of Amaymon (poor Raum is left out). Plus, I tried to sum up their personalities in their facial expressions, have fun figuring it out. The fallen spirits are listed in the order that they appear in The Lesser Key of Solomon.


Top from left to right

Naberius: A most valiant marquis and powerful. Appears as a crow but quickly assumes the form of a man. He has a hoarse voice but speaks eloquently and is most amiable. He promotes gracious living and teaches all arts and sciences especially rhetoric. He restores dignities and honors but can also cause the loss of them. An adept in the left hand art of necromancy.

Ronove: Both a marquis and an earl. He appears as a monster and harvests souls of decrepit men and animals near death on earth. He brings a strong understanding of rhetoric, faithful servants, knowledge of languages and favors of friends and foes.

Gaap: A high president and Prince who goes before the four great and mighty kings. He consecrates things that belong to the kingdom of Amaymon his king. His office is to make men insensible or ignorant, though in philosophy he grants them ever expanding knowledge as well as deliver others away from the custody of other magicians. Said to have the ability to intensify the passions of love and hatred. He answers truthfully and perfectly of things present, past and to come and has the ability to transfer men from kingdom to kingdom with great speed. Was of the order of Potentates.

Raum: A great earl who appears as a crow but will take a man's shape under the request of the conjurer. A great thief who can steal out of kings houses and can carry treasures to where ever he is assigned. A destroyer of cities, he has great despise for dignities and knows things of past, present and what is to come. Was of the order of Thrones.

Bottom from left to right

Furcas: A Knight, he comes forth as a cruel old man with a hoarier head and a long beard. He teaches perfectly practical philosophy, rhetoric, logic, astronomy, chiromancy, pryromancy and all their parts. He can make one invisible, ingenious, and articulate. He also can find lost things and discover treasures.

Caim: A great president taking the form of a thrush but puts on the shape of a man. He answers truthfully on burning ashes, carrying in his hand a most sharp sword. He makes men best disputers and gives the understanding of all birds and animals as well as the sound of rushing water. He answers best on things to come and was the order of angels.

Ose: A great president and very much feared. He appears in the form of a mighty leopard and counterfeits to be a man. He makes men cunning in the liberal sciences and answers truthfully of the divine and things most secret. He can make a man transform his shape and bring him to utter madness.

Vapula: A great duke and strong. She is seen like a lion with griffin wings. She makes men subtil and wonderful in the art of handicraft, philosophy and of sciences contained in books.

Honestly- some of your best work yet. Don't scrap it evar! I love all the designs. Everyone is unique and awesome and just...whooooaaa...~

A bizarre emphasis on coffee and soul-crushing tragedy.
O LAWDY INDEED. TOOK FOREVER TO LOAD. 6_9

Yay, I inspired :heart:

Don't worry, I'll be planning :iconmoarplz: in the future. I think I'm going to start with a little from south hell next.

:heart:
I can only imagine. 9_6

:heart: Yes indeedy~.

South hell, you say? :V Don't you know thats supposedly Belial's territory? Though they also say he comes from the North...why can't anyone get these things straight?!

And oh yes...any of these gaiz gonna be in your poast?

Yes, south hell. I will get into because of Andras and will discover what other demons I will try to concept. Yes, I know of Belial but I will leave him be. I can't stand how they can't keep it straight. Like Amaymon being the king of east hell OR west hell, I'm just going to say east and screw it all.

Hmmm, mainly all of them me thinks except for Raum.
You make drawing human faces seem like a piece of cake *envy*. Aaagh, I want that skill!
>:U I can't wait to see what you think up. And I have to agree- I just pick a direction and stick with it, but now, I can't say where Belial belongs- I gave the North to Vassago and uh, South...well, I dunno. He can just stick with wherever Beelze is.

YAYAYAY...I can't wait to read it. :3 Raum has such a stick up his butt, so I don't care if he's around.

Shit, no one said it was easy. I get stumped all the time. :lol:

Plus, cake is a lie ect.
:iconcakeisalieplz:
I can't wait either. I'm be off in mai research tower looking up demons again. 8D Either way it all flows in the end, I just think of Beelzebub and Belial along with the others in a kingdom of their own ruling over the four directions but under Lucifer ect.

Lol, Raum literally, has a stick up his ass. Notice how he's the only stiff one in the whole group shot.
Yay! More of 'em! :clap: My favorite is Caim. ^^

Dude, I still can't get over how much character you put into those faces. I'm lucky if mine have even slight variation from one to the next no matter how hard I try. :shakfist:
