Early Builds Of Demons





























Here's a few early digital build ups of some demon portraits. The lower one will have 6 or 8 eyes peering out of holes spread around the upper half of the head. The second down is going to have some juicy maggots pouring out of the eye sockets.You can see the way I lay out textures in that second pic using various filters to blend into other layers under and over the texture pics.

edit - the top pic is being built over a sculpture based on the devil in an engraving by Albrecht Durer's "The Knight, Devil and Death" seen here.
I wanted one of these demons to have a dog/pig like appearance and that interpretation of the devil was a great place to start from.

Thank you for documenting your work. It would be very interesting to have several steps of the same picture…

like in the first,the faces drowning in darkness work fantastically well.

Hauntingly hideous heads, aeron. Gaïn is right, you should make animiated gifs from all the stages of your collages. Maybe not too big, to not give away too much about how you did it, but it should look great to see a face like those demons evolve out of bits and pieces.

Thanks, and good idea on the process pics, I need to try to document some of these better so I can put a short animation like that together.
