Hi there
that's awesome
But i can't find how to download the 1k px version ! Did something changed on Deviant art since you published? Or am I blind?

Thanks! It's an oldie but I decided to upload a bigger image. All the images I uploaded 1 or 2 years ago seem to be 200px too small now. Is the layout of the dA website so much better or are we just getting used to bigger monitors? Perhaps both.

Both
Yes - I do remember seeing this earlier.
Quite busy now - hence no answers to your comments. I will respond thou.

I think you conveyed the morbidity with great impact in the way you depicted the various characters and in the placement of the various elements. And the sheer amount of detail you work into your piece is incredible!

Thank you! The general composition is not my own though. I referenced a Christian engraving of the Holy trinity and made everything into the opposite; the cherubs became evil, the father and son became monsters, the dove became a serpent and the crucifix on the orb was turned upside down.
Looking at it again, I think I rather upload a bigger image so you can see more detail.

I will take that as a compliment. Thank you for the comment.

Nice one! It's an ASS + a COCK isn't it - suits me, sir, with a likely case of the bends I'm just REARing to go
geeze - you retards do cluster-fuck together like mincing girls [SCROTE-suckers I'd say]

Not sure what you're getting at.

It's an ASS on the left isn't it - and some kind of scraggy fkking chicken-thing on the right, a COCK? Exalt that cnut Satan aka THE EUNUCH GASH and you'll encourage pig-fkkers like your client-base below [a right bunch of turds especially Missstrong whatever she is] PS your type-face stuff is intelligent but this diabolical shit can go fester

I suppose it's an ass on the left and a lizard on the right. After that you don't make sense to me anymore though. What's that about the eunuch gash?
In any case, the people below are simply members of DA who appreciate my work. They're not my client base. Regardless, I think your opinions on my "fan base" are misplaced as a comment on one of my works — or as a matter of fact, at all.

OK I'll rephrase it because you might have inadvertently & in all naivety been cluster-fkked by the biggest bunch of satanic ass-kissers in downtown ButtFuck USA.
My apologies cuz you are obviously talented & I liked the typography info & actually wondered what someone of intelligence was doing surrounded by a horde of numbnuts [eventually they'll be bathing in scorpions & dung-beetles but that's another story]. Put the word 'diabolos' in a pic and sub-human turds will come scuttling.
THE EUNUCH GASH is another of Satan's names - unlike God Who took flesh and, as it were, earned His genitalia, Satan's SECRET is he is bereft of sexual organs - he doesn't like this known because it loses him VOTES AMONG THE SCROTES + sexuality is a domain he would like to conquer & being a FUCKLESS CASTRATO doesn't help his image among the ladies like the butch-dyke Misterstrong & Johny Faat & Marmar et al.
Again, my apologies in mistaking you for one of the clustering RETARDS who drew up to your gallery. Try Overbeck's drawings of Satan etc exhibited on my site: cheers

Who are these "biggest bunch of satanic ass-kissers" anyway? Let me make something very clear here. What I draw is a personal reflection from me in a way but in no way does it represent my ideology. If "satanists" or general "Black Metal fans" happen to appreciate the themes of my illustrations that's excellent, but it wasn't drawn for them specifically. I barely listen to any Metal nor do I consider myself to be a Satanist. I have my own ideology which has absolutely nothing to do with any music genre or sub-culture. In other words, whatever you say about the people who commented on this page, I might even agree with you but then I don't associate myself with a particular people nor a particular ideology. In effect, whatever you say about these people only comes off as a general disrespect and stubbornness to me. If there's something you don't like about these people, tell them personally if you have to; I don't want to hear it. I wonder what you're even trying to achieve by expressing your discontent for the people who happened to have shown their appreciation of this particular artwork. If it should affect me, I can tell you I just don't value your opinions; if it should affect "them", I wonder why you're speaking to me.
I'm on this website to showcase my work in an environment where criticism can be received and where my work can be judged more subjectively instead of only showing it to the kind of people this kind of work might pertain to.
As for your words on Satan, I've researched this persona for many years and I particularly focussed on Christian theology and Jewish mysticism (qabalah is linked to both demonology as well as the major monotheistic religions) and I never came across a source which talks of the sexual aspect of Satan unless in the form of Chavvah (Eve, from Adam) which often takes the form of Lilith as either the bride of Satan or the female aspect of Satan; the capital sin of womanhood and a handful of dust in the eyes of the Godhead. A lack of sexual organs would define Satan by shame while he is defined by his pride and arrogance. I don't see how your interpretation of Satan could fit into any known legend of Satan.

It fits in with the reality - I've met him.

Or more like the holy trinity.

I thought it was a Black Metal cd cover. Amazing details! This would be a great illustration for a devils handbook.

It is. It was used by a Canadian "Black 'n' Roll" band called 'Vatican'.
Thank you for the kind words.

I've Watched the Details !! awesome man !!
Q : What is the size of main full art , i mean size of canvas or paper u used ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much! This was done on A4 paper, but it covers about 80% of the width.
I'm now working on my first A3 sized illustration which should surpass "Diabolos" in the amount of detail.
