Description First demon painting for Cosmic Balance! This painting had one of the quickest turnarounds, which is part of the reason the environment is so sparse. Most of this was painted during a youtube marathon of goofy youtube creepypasta readings. I was originally campaigning to do all the demons as Hieronymus Bosch inspired things, but after going to Texas to playtest the game myself I realized a more standard demon type would serve the games binary Heaven vs Hell theme better. I like to imagine the demons start as those little snake larva and as they grow they physically evolve to a physical form best suited for whatever mini-biome of hellish subterrania they were spawned in. I'm always a sucker for worldbuilding stuff.

I see the snake lava in the 4-eyed skull! This demons boots are the best thing ever haha and his manic design adds to his character i think. I can almost hear him saying "witness me!" in some kinda mad max warrior boy style before going off to battle with that mallet. Very cool! Also, dang you posted a ton of stuff I missed while I was out of town for the last week+, please excuse any spam faving I may do hehe

Thanks! I think you hit the nail on the head! Demons in this game are actually pretty similar conceptually to the mad max warrior boys, although I'd never actually thought about it that way before. I figure once a demon is killed they're immediately reborn as a little magma snake again in some other random corner of hell and the life-cycle begins anew, so they can grow up and go cause more havok and chaos, in hell or otherwise. And I have no problem with fav-sprees. Go right ahead, I'm always flattered. Hope you had a good time where ever you went!

So if I see a little pink fleshy-snake when I'm there is it advisable to kill it, or are they just nice regular guys like Buffy "demons"?
