The Goddess Cerunne

This was an ink drawing that got heavily modified and touched up in Photoshop. I know, it doesn't look like much, but a lot of work went into it!

Ars Goetia 61 - Zagan

Zagan, one of the nine Kings of Hell.

A very powerful entity who commands over thirty three legions of demons. Listed as the sixty first demon described in the Lesser Key of Solomon. He is classified as both President and King, both titles symbolic of the power and sway he has within the infernal abyss.

When summoned, Zagan often assumes the shape of a winged bull, but will transform into a man some time after being conjured. He has the power to turn water into wine, blood into wine, and back again. He also has the power to turn any metal into coins. It is said that he can impart great knowledge upon any man, and even turn a fool wise.

The Morrigan


The Morrigan is a goddess from Irish Myth.

This drawing was "updated" in 2018 but was originally made for a 2008 Character of the Week (ChOW) challenge at the now defunct conceptart.org website.

Janus

Description: In ancient Roman religion and mythology, Janus is the god of beginnings and transitions, thence also of gates, doors, doorways, endings and time. He is usually a two-faced god since he looks to the future and the past. The Romans dedicated the month of January to Janus.




 This was a drawing I made in January 2018 for a Character of the Week challenge over at conceptart.org, made in Procreate and Photoshop.

Medusa

Medusa is creature from ancient Greek mythology, a woman who is hideous in appearance, has serpents on her head instead of hair, and has the ability to turn people to stone with her glare.  She is oftentimes portrayed as a villain in movies and video games.  She was once a beautiful maiden priestess of Athena, who was seduced by Poseidon, and fell in love with him.  For breaking her vows to celibacy she was cursed, and terrorized the world until she was killed by Perseus.

I portrayed her as a serpent, in the style of the movie Clash of the Titans, or the video game God of War.

I did this drawing for a contest over at Deviant Art themed "Born Bad" in February 2018. The drawing was made in Procreate and finished in Photoshop.
