Description Belphegor
Seventh prince of hell, Belphegor, the inventor.
The prince of sloth, Belphegor tricks men with inventions that will make their lives much easier, and will take them away from their hard jobs. But this is just a trap, in order for makind to abandon activity, relaying them on machines, and thus abandoning their bodies, and minds and souls to sloth.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FINALLY, the last one of my seven princes of hell, Belphegor the prince of sloth.

Belpehegor was a very hard one, as he is normally represented by a demon sitting on a toilet, or a beautiful girl, and none of those seamed to be good options to represent the demon of sloth.

But then I read his powers, and this came up

As I said before, Belphegor is a demon who gives men inventions to make them lazy, so, I wanted to apply the same idea to him. As Belphegor is a very lazy demon, but yet a very intelligent one, I made him somehow of a mad inventor who crafts machines to make his own tasks easier, to the point of mechanizing his onw body, replacing his eye, hands and lower body with machines.

His body is incredibly heavy, more by the plates of steel than by his own fat, but yet moves quickly thanks to his mechanincal power.

for the machinery I went for a Steampunk look rather than a modern robot style, as he is a demon, and I wanted something that looked old, ancient and kinda rusty, and steampunk fitted pretty well.

Also, his wings are strapped because he is to lazy to fly using them, he rather will build some kind of rocket device.

Well, this is the last one of the seven, I'm not going to make the archangels so dont ask for them

Hope you like it and see you soon

Although I feel like the belief in this demon was born out of the fear of change. Besides, inventions take work to create, and more work mass producing them, so this kind of a contradictory creature.

Okay, I like your take on this. Because I was wondering "How does helping humans invent things make him a bad guy?" Because I was concerned that somebody wasn't telling me the full story. Or maybe humanity might have been wrong about demons. Because I know in some religions, some demons are good guys.

I really wanted to thank you because your awesome design for this demon really inspired me, and helped me to make my own vision of Belphegor Β

Love the concept. Β It's honestly kind of inspiring a design of my own which also draws from Doom and the like. Β I feel like I should credit you for it, though, but I can't wait to share some of the concepts once they're ready.

I think Geoffery Rush voice is the closest to resemble Belphegor, you know when he played as Barbosa from Pirates of the Caribbean?

Finally, the last prince of Hell. To me, Belphegor looks the most human compared to the other princes, mainly because his skin is the same color as human skin, and your depiction really makes up for the "not so creative" design that other sources have given him.

Also, it's a shame that you won't be doing the archangels. I would have liked to have seen them in your style.

I've just revisited your princes of hell series, and I have to say I'm really impressed. You have displayed a lot of originality and creativity in your depictions of them, breaking away from stereotypes while still staying true to the essence of the demon. It would also be awesome to see you redraw these guys in your current style, I think they would look even more badass.

HypoThermus [2012-05-12 22:30:48 +0000 UTC]

I always personally found the notion to Belphegor as a demon rather paradoxical. While he is supposed to embody indolence, at the same time he supposed to inspire people with ideas for inventions.

Zedekial In reply to HypoThermus [2016-04-08 05:38:09 +0000 UTC]

The church wanted to curtail invention to prevent the peasants from having free time to think and realize the priests were full of shit.

"Demon sitting on a toilet?" I'm sorry, I just died when I read that part.
It's funny, he's so lazy he actually has to work to compensate for his laziness!
