Artist's Comments

More work on this guy, some of you might remember him. He's more or less an archetype and plays by some really strange rules. I keep referring to him as "he," but he's really whatever you want him to be. Makes his job a cakewalk. So this isn't a change of design--The Deceiver is beyond things like "design." It's just another of a thousand faces.

....................

The flies and the spider I can deal with, but I'm regretting the centipede because it looks devastatingly corny. Pretty chuffed with the rest, though, 'specially considering it was built up with successively darker pencils and no help from an eraser (braggityBRAG). I very nearly gave him deerish ears, but decided against it because animal features seem to say "nature" and nature isn't evil, it's just itself. For the same reason, I'm a little uncomfortable with the arthropod imagery. Bugs are just doing their job, and I have nothing against them.

That's awesome. I like the colors you used. And you're right... that centipede is corny looking, but at least it's tiny, and the pictures overall awesomeness kinda makes up for that.

Damn the centipede. There must be a way to paint over it or something, because it's a blemish on the picture. *froth*
Ahem, and thank you! :D

Well insects are associated with decay. Maybe you can replace a tiny centipede with one of those monsterous foot-long ones from the amazon?

I like how you did the eyes without much distinction in shadin, like black holes in the face. Love how the figure looks so innocuous(like a child almost), but then again the greatest evils always do look harmless until it's too late.

Oh, and the bigger centipede would not only allow for more creepy details, but also would balance the image better (difference in size between all the insects and stuff)

This is BEAUTIFUL, and what an intriguing character, too...

Reminds me a little bit of Desire, from the Sandman comics.
