Demon Chibi - Belethby *oneoftwo

Digital Art / Drawings / Illustrations / Conceptual

In demonology, Beleth also spelled Bilet, Bileth, Byleth and Bilith is a mighty and terrible king of Hell, who has eighty-five legions of demons under his command. He rides a pale horse, and all kind of music is heard before him, according to most authors on demonology and the most known grimoires. According to Pseudomonarchia Daemonum Ham, Noah's son, was the first in invoking him after the flood, and wrote a book on Mathematics with his help.

When appearing he looks very fierce to frighten the conjurer or to see if he is courageous. The conjurer must be brave, and holding a hazel wand in his hand must draw a triangle by striking towards the South, East, and upwards, then commanding Beleth into it by means of some conjurations.

If he does not obey, the conjurer must rehearse all threatens the conjurations said and then Beleth will obey and do all what he is commanded. But the conjurer must be respectful and do homage unto Beleth due to his rank, and hold a silver ring in the middle finger of the left hand against his face, as it is the use of hellish kings and princes before Amaymon.

Beleth gives all the love of men and women he is commanded until the conjurer is satisfied.

My Design of Beleth has always reflected the 'Rides on a Pale horse' aspect, which ultimately reflects death. His concepts have gone from being militant to tribal and now has a roman appeal with some flare. I always thought a scythe made of glass was an interesting appeal, as it also reflects the sand which represents how miniscule one life is in the grand scheme of things.

His wing colorscheme is based on a black swan for european's interpretations of it being connected to the 'Devil' in the 17th and 18th century.

I'll be doing at least four others, if this is a design you'd be interested in for a sticker, please give me feedback! I want to put more original work in my portfolio.
