The devil.

I painted this character last year and hated how it turned out. So I redesigned him, and I'm much much much more satisfied with the result... this is exactly how I imagine he would look.

Painter 8 and Photoshop 7.0. Had lots of fun with the details on this one. ;) If you want a closer look at his eyes, there is a close-up here: [link]

I really like his hair, when you find the time, could you make a hair tutorial?

Wow, beautiful work! :clap: I how you interpreted the Devil as androgynous, beautiful being. It's perfect. I looked at the image at first and was like, "what a beautiful warrior woman". You totally got me! And I love how Khuiia's features are angelic but, the face has such a potent, disturbing stare that overcomes the beauty of the physical features. Is there any meaning behind the 3 scars on her/his right cheek? Does each represent a 6; as in 6.6.6.?

Khuiia is not the Christian devil. My characters reside in a culture that follows a philosophy based on Eastern religions. The superstitious/uneducated believe he is a demon, but he's not. He's a natural creature who doesn't have the capacity for malevolence, but like nature he can be destructive and brutal.

The significance of the scars are ritualistic. Multiples of 3 are sacred.

I'm was only trying to educate myself about your piece, since I am uneducated. Which eastern religions are your characters and their philosophies most closely inspired from??
