Description Meant to sort of look like an eyecatch. B/c it may possibly be the cover of a gift CD case, if I ever get around to making them for "Eyebrows"

Once again totally inspired by mind explodingly awesome rpg with (aforementioned "Eyebrows").

...In which Valteira, formerly Valgaav and reborn as a pure ancient dragon, has some pretty powerful backup by two kickass mazoku--the mazoku lord Gaav, the Demon Dragon King (Bune in the Ars Goetia), and the mazoku priest-general Xelloss Metallium, the Lesser Beast Wolf Demon. Both have served as father figures for him in this context.

Yay

may I please just say that Gaav's eyebrows are wicked delicious to draw (omg so ridiculously bushy!!! LOL) and I want to do naughty things with Xelloss just for his gawdang DIMPLES GRAH so cute and boyish yet so HOT and MANLY!

THERE COULD BE NO TWO MORE DIFFERENT GUYS THAN THESE TWO, lmfgdao. I think it's why I love their interactions so much. Gaav (top) is like the typical Man's Man, loud, swaggering, belching, fond of plain speaking and action over complicated thought and inaction, mercurial to a very dangerous extent. Xelloss (bottom) on the other hand is your typical Lady's Man, dapper and suave, ungodly brilliant with words and persuasion, crafty and deceptive... to a very dangerous extent, LOL. In Slayers NEXT and the novels, they can't STAND each other. Gaav especially hates Xelloss's creepy high-pitched giggle, LOL. He even snaps at him to "quit that damned giggling" in the manga that NEXT is based upon XDDDDD In the rpg, we have gradually edged them to a grudging mutual respect and admiration, even perhaps some sort of demony fondness, lol.

However Xelloss still calls Gaav "Red" semi-derisively, and Gaav still calls Xelloss "Fruity" semi-derisively. Roflmao.

Hmm....I *had* been having thoughts thanks to your latest work about doing a sequel to my other one shot for Dynast, based around the other Lords(deceased or not).

Gaav's interesting, because he's more cunning than he seems...if not nearly as labyrinthine in the nature of his schemes as Xellos, naturally.

Hmhmhmhmhm....

Yes, he is lol. His "hail fellow, well met" facade is just that, a facade. He's not stupid in the least.

I'd love to read some sequels to that one shot.

I have to say, your rpg sounds like so much fun XD and Xelloss is just too damn smexy in this picture. I want to have my naughty, naughty way with him. If only Filia wasn't around. le sigh. Maybe I can wait for Val to grow up...<3

Huh! ^_^ Val here looks a little bit like Gaav

And yeeeeeees, suuuuuure sure, Xellos as a Val's pal, hehehehe (naughty Xellos -_- poor Val in Slayers Try )

I love the Val's face all round, each line gives him a very expressive face and personal character. ^_^

It IS Gaav, lol. Not Val.

Well I've actually done a lot of writing on Xelloss and Val after TRY. Night Light is all about that (I sent you the link when you asked for it ). Things change. Xelloss doesn't really have the kind of melodramatic streak where he'd hold grudges. I don't see why he'd hate Val or want to hurt him, particularly when the Beastmaster has no need for Val anymore, nor feels threatened by him
