Description
This project took me around 5-6 hours. No kidding. Why? Because I painted it. With India Ink and bamboo brushes. On paper.This is not digital, except for the touchup in Photoshop. The original size is more than 1 ft.x1 ft. I had to scan it into Photoshop as four seperate images, use Photomerge to put it together, and then fix the coloring and such. I made it darker, cropped it, and wallah!! I really didn't want to crop it, but I couldn't figure out how to use this one tool in Photoshop. So I might go back and change it later.
There's mistakes I made here and there, but overall I'm very happy with this, considering that this was my first real painting ever.
For those of you who don't know who this guy is, he's Chernabog, ruler of all that is Evil, at least until dawn. I used an image from Disney's Fantasia. That is one scary piece of animation. My parents never let us watch it because it was so scary. I watched it here, If anybody else wants to see it: [link]
And here's the page with the reference image: [link]

Not only was this the most terrifying scene in the whole movie of Fantasia, but Disney did a very good job of portraying the devil as he really is and I especially like the scene when the bells rang out and morning came that represented God and his son Jesus and so far this is a very good description of the villain and everything else was very well detailed.
I give it 2 thumbs up and 4 stars!
P.S. maybe as request, I wonder if you could make Night on Bald Mountain, could you make Dance of the Hours if you wanted to?

No problem and ok, I just thought you could make one because of how good your picture was.

I'm truly flattered, but it's just that I've got other things to work on that take priority.

OK, that's fine and no problem!

Chernabog or Czernabog is an easten european duality deity who represents the fall and winter, as well as death. He is also known for taking a hammer to skulls and loves gambling with fools.
Great painting I thought it was a darkened still from the movie. Great job

That's really interesting; the only thing I knew was that he represented death. Thanks for sharing the info!

A thought just crossed my mind about the "Night on Bald Mountain" sequence.
You know how there's a village below the mountain where all this demonic madness is taking place? Well, how do they put up with it?
Villager: (slams the windows open) Keep it down! I'm trying to sl-(Chernabog and all the demons and ghouls glare down at him) N-n-never mind. (shuts the windows)

Do you know what's the Horrible part of the music video called "Swan Meat"
just like Night on Bald Mountain in Fantasia?
Chopping a Swan or Sergei was eaten alive by the Black Ghost called a Demon Monster?

Just... wonderful. I loved this devil since I was a child, and now, it's one of my favourite bad guys in Disney's films. I'm glad to see you painted it with all its superb, all its charism, its beautiful darkness. It seems so powerful, like in Fantasia. Congratulations, it's simply great!

Well, I suppose the music video called "Swan Meat" is better than
the horrifying terrifying scary segment called "Night on Bald Mountain" in Fantasia.
Sometimes, Night on Bald Mountain is traumatize the little kids.
But the most horrible part of Swan Meat is when Sergei was scared
when the Demon Monster is gonna eat him on the tower.
You know, it's horrible when the Demon Monster
swallowed Sergei whole. You know why?
Sergei was inside of the Stomach of the Demon Monster
because he was eaten alive.

You know, I'm watching Fantasia as I write this and we're at THIS EXACT SCENE.
THIS. IS. FREAKIN. SCARY.

Forget "scary"; more like ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING!!
I'm so glad my parents never let me watch that sequence when I was a kid.

I think Chernabog is scarier than the Demon Monster
like the one in "Swan Meat".
That Demon Monster is so terrifying that he can eat
the children like Sergei, not grown-ups.

Did you know that the bloke who performed the movements for Chernabog was Bela Lugosi?

He was Dracula in the 1931 film.

Interesting bit of trivia...I didn't know that!

Actually, his facial expressions as Dracula were used as a reference for Chernabog's evil grin

This is extraordinary! It doesn't look like it was drawn, more like it was a very old painting.
Do you appreciate fantasy, like demons, castles and knights and stuff like that?

I like some fantasy, but I'm more of a sci-fi person.
