Artist's Comments

So i was going through my notes and papers and junk related to my AAT manga [link] (YES! I WAS ACTUALLY WORKING ON IT!) and i found a note i wrote years ago saying 'Iason Mink makes a good Lucifer reference' and i was like, huh, and rewatched the second half of Ai no Kusabi AND OMG THE ART IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I REMEMBER IT BEING GOOD, BUT GEEZE NOT THAT GOOD :iconwthplz: and i mean, SRSLY it was made in the EFFING EARLY 90's AND IT'S STILL EFFING BEAUTIFUL
so i was immediately re-inspired and quickly drew this thing.

I drew Lucifer with Calla Lillies because they represent purity and death. tho lucifer isn't pure by any means, he puts up the front of light and beauty to deceive souls. he is the father of lies after all. and just as so, the Calla Lilly is lethally poisonous if eaten.

references used for the circles in the bg

i heard they're remaking Ai no Kusabi, i really hope the new artwork lives up to it's predecessor, that's half the beauty of the ova :iconimhappyplz:

This is amazingly beautiful. I like how you've incorporated symbolism with those flowers, as well. The coloring and detail are wonderful, and the sharp angle of his face makes him seem even more appealing. :love:

Oh my GOD!! Kiki, this is beyond gorgeous. I can't believe how amazing it is!! :love: :love: :love: :iconwowplz:

I just LOVE the angles of his face and the way you COLORED it gives it such an impact. It's just beautiful. His eye is just.. just. gah! It looks so realistic, and it seems like such a big jump from how you usually draw your characters. I really like the way his hair falls and you add so much depth with your shading. I was looking for the actual inking lines in his hair and there really aren't much. So impressive.

He reminds me of Sephiroth.

All of the pieces of jewelry you put him in are gorgeously done, even if they seem like they're not much, the gel pen adds so much to it.

I seriously can't stop staring at his beauty. The marker is sooo smooth and I love that about this piece. Did you do it on marker paper?

I really like how you did the calla lilies as well. They're such beautiful flowers, and I like that you used them instead of some random flower that had a completely different relationship to Lucifer.

Oh, and the background! I love the vertical strokes from the marker, and the lines for the circles are so straight! Did you use something to trace them, or are your hands just incredibly steady?


...I love his throat. I want to bite it. Or something. He looks.. very kissable. >_>;;

Kiki, you are my marker-art idol. Seriously. :iconiloveyouplz:

The expression on his face is what intrigues me. Even his expression seems clouded over, to the point where you can't tell if he is plotting, melancholy, or simply bitter. I also would never have expected someone to picture Lucifer with a human visage. Though I thought the jeweled necklace was a bit much, it adds to the imagery of his ties to deception hidden by shallow beauty, just like the Calla Lilly.

Yet another absolutely stunning painting, and of course, an Instant favorite.
