The Princess of Lucifer

The first of 7 illustrations based on the main characters from mothy's "Seven Deadly Sins" series, a part of the grander Evillious Chronicles multi-media series. I've been wanting to make fanart of this series for a while since I have lots of nostalgia for it, though I always felt like I wouldn't make anything up to quality without being proficient in all the lore. While I did do a little bit of homework for this series, possibly to find potential symbols to include and just for the sake of it, I figured it was no big deal and finally got to work on the dream project. Anyway, here's Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche, played by Kagamine Rin!

digital drawing of meiko/banica conchita. she is holding a wine glass in her right hand and licking her fingers on her right hand, which are stained with a deep ultramarine blue. this contrasts the overwhelming reds and tans of her dress, hair, and the background. in the background, a tan ribcage stands behind banica for an intricate and symetrical composition.

Beelzebub Party

The second part of the Evillious Tribute series. Here’s Banica Conchita, depicted by Meiko. I was unsure of what to do for the background, but I knew she had a big ribcage in the background of “Seven Crimes and Punishments”, which suits her. Drawing it was a bit challenging, but I like the detail and balance of light and dark it adds to the whole composition. One of my favorites!

digital drawing of gakupo/sateriasis venomania. inside the frame, he is further framed by pink curtains with blue shading. he has a smug grin. four hands, colored red, cyan, pink, and green, and reaching out and touching him.

Dance of Asmodeus

The third part of my Evillious Tribute series. Camui Gakupo plays the role of Sateriasis Venomania. Probably my least favorite in the series of illustration. I struggled with really coming up with a background and I’m not crazy about what I came with, plus the colored hands lose a bit of cohesion in the colors. It sticks out a bit, and not in a good way. Still, I like how Sateriasis himself turned out.

digital drawing of hatsune miku/margarita blankenheim. her hair and dress are a bright cyan with some dark blue/purple accets in shading and white details. she is holding a 'gift' near her face, with her hands positioned to look like she is about to fall asleep. the background is a dark ultramarine and purple sky with clouds with pink accents.

Belphegor's Gift

Part four of the Evillious Tribute series. The one and only Hatsune Miku depicts Margarita Blankenheim, AKA the Third Sleep Princess. After how much the previous piece disappointed me, I’m happy that I can be proud of this one. I was unsure of how I’d make the cooler-colored characters work with the brown frame I had in mind to keep consistent across the series, which was one of the struggle points with Sateriasis, but luckily I found my groove here. My only hangup is that, in an effort to keep her more on model with the original character design, I had to draw Miku’s hair more blue-leaning when I normally prefer her green. Sigh…

digital drawing of megurine luka/kayo sudou. she is wearing a red kimono, green obi, and golden flower hairpin like in the climax of her song. she is holding a pair of scissors near her eye, and the blade and her hand is stained with blood. she has a resting smile on her face. the background is framed with blood-stained japanese screen doors and a gradient of red, yellow, green, and blue surrounding her head, mixed with more blood splatters.

Leviathan Slope

Megurine Luka, as Kayo Sudou, stars in the fifth entry of the Evillious Tribute series. This might be my favorite of the set! I’m really pleased with how the colors turned out and especially the blood, which was very fun to paint. Plus, Luka always looks pretty no matter the scenario.

digital drawing of kaito/gallerian marlon. he is doing the signature pose seen in the music video of judgement of corruption where his hand is doing the okay sign and crossed across his body. he has an evil grin. behind him is a railing and golden scales. the background is dark blue with bright cyan fire, and at the bottom are piles of golden coins.

Mammon's Court

The penultimate entry of the Evillious Tribute series, featuring Kaito as Gallerian Marlon. The posing is probably very predictable and obvious if you’ve seen the original “Judgement of Corruption” music video, but I couldn’t help myself. His signature pose was too iconic not to use for this series. The background is probably the most bright and saturated of this series, which gives it a pretty different vibe from the rest at a distance. I’m pretty fond of how Kaito’s hair is styled for Gallerian, so it was fun to draw it here.

digital drawing of gumi/nemesis sudou. she is wearing a mask with her left eye obscured, and she is holding her pistol close to her head. behind her are bright red-orange flames and four circular orbs, colored purple, red, yellow, and cyan.

Satan's Revenge

The seventh and final piece of the Evllious Chronicles/Seven Deadly Sins illustration series. Here we have Gumi in the role of Nemesis Sudou. I REALLY had no idea what to do for the background at all; I was inspired by the fire that’s the primary setting of the “The Muzzle of Nemesis” music video and the circular illustrations of the previous sinners at the end and just went with that. While I tried to do a little bit of homework on the main characters of the original series to understand symbols and maybe help inform design decisions, I was pretty tired by the time I got to nemesis. Regardless, I still like how Nemesis herself turned out, namely the rendering of her hair. I don’t really draw Gumi with this cool of a green (it just never really suited her, to me) but I think it’s real pretty!
