Description The monster's loose
This game is win or loose
Sometimes you gotta' do it
And show the world you want it all

Here's a picture I've been working on for a while now.
Kaz and his hungry alter-ego looming in the background.

For all you newcomers, yes, Kaaziel and Kaz are the same person/being. As if the name wasn't obvious enough. XD

Here's some background information on Kaz...

Originally, Kaz was a result of some kind of science experiment gone wrong that made him transform into a monster and live in the sewer and prey upon people. XD So yeah, I was really into Spiderman at the time, so I wanted to go with the whole scientist-turns-into-something-unnatural theme(fun fact: Kaaziel originally had four Doc Ock-esque tentacles that he could retract, but I decided they were rather unnecessary and ditched em) Then I thought he could be more like a guy who somehow became possessed by some being from another dimension, thus transforming into a monster at rather inopportune times.

Now I've pretty much decided he's some kind of demon of gluttony who sees the greasy allure of the human world, and decides to take a human form. Mhahaha, no one will suspect.... Aside from the rather obvious fact that he has greyish skin, pointed teeth, and a rather interesting navel. Oh well, people are rather oblivious to these sort of things, I suppose. XD However, he has difficulty holding onto this guise, especially when primal instincts take hold. I've always been interested in the whole Jekyll/Hyde thing, so I still kind of wanted to work with that a bit. So...this is what I have at the moment. Nothing's set in stone yet though.

I have just the silhouette of Kaaziel here- [link]

Ah wow, I knew he had two appearances but wow, I had no idea that was the concept behind the character. Intriguing if not quite scary at the same time. I like with you did with the finished version of the monster form, the green highlights provide quite the eerie atmosphere. And wow, his human form, just looking at him is unnerving because you can only imagine what's running through his mind.

Well done I must say!

Thanks a lot! I still need to come up with some kind of solid backstory...eventually.

I don't want to sound like I'm repeating myself that much. So I'll just say that I was definitely expecting the pic the last one was previewing to come out absolutely fantastic, as ever. And this just exceeded my expectations even more.

I'm saying this as unbiased as I can, this is perfect. Definitely the very best pic I've seen incorporating both of Kaz's forms. Everything from the atmosphere you went with to the expressions on both of them, right from Human Kaz's somewhat-irked expression to the actual monster Kaz's absolutely deranged expression(s), is absolutely wonderful.

But what also really added my enjoyment to this, on top of an excellent pic, was reading that description. That is some terrific backstory there and it's a great introduction to who/what Kaz is.

You nailed this and even outdone yourself this time. Wonderful, terrific work.

This rocks. I think it's the best pic of either Kaz or Kaaziel you've done so far. Very vivid and moody, yet still toony.

I've always gotten the impression that human-Kaz is really trying to fit in to the human world for some reason -- maybe just for a day job or something.

Or maybe it's some bizarre twist on City of Angels, or something -- slightly goofy gluttony demon falls in WUV.

That's actually pretty much exactly what I had in mind! I haven't really decided what kind of job he'd have, something fairly inconspicuous. My boyfriend wants him to be an engineer, but I don't think he's smart enough. XD
I actually did had him swooning over my sister's character, Rhonda, who'se a nightclub singer and is pretty much oblivious to Kaz's advancements.

This is so awesome. I love how you did the looming Kaaziel in the background.

The background information is a nice bonus as well, very interesting.

the coloring on Kaz, that is just wonderful looking...and that sorta shocked expression...or atleast concerned

that neon green glow and highlighting on Kaaziel is just fantastic looking, and looks so great against the background

this is amazing work

One heck of a creepy yet toony interp of both Kaaz's forms. I really dig the contrast between them both, and the Beetlejuce-esque backdrop suits it all pretty nicely. And as for the story, it's a winner. Great job.

It looks even better with color. I like the glowing eyes and the reflection of the green light on his silhouette
