AAAAAH!!!! @gooseworx 's pilot, The Amazing Digital Circus came out and I've already watched it SO MANY times!!! Absolutely adore the story and characters and just had to doodle Pomni! Genuinely the creator and whole team deserve all the love in the world and I can't wait to see where the story goes!
The newest episode has impacted me so much that I'm actually creating a world based on demonology and some biblical stories. Giving my own spin on it is therapeutic and helps me with my religious trauma.
The show's Mammon is so shaped - I love Vivzi's spin on the sins even if it's not something I would personally design. I gotta thank Mammon for my rekindled love for demons.
Now here's my rambling about personal worldbuilding:
Souls:
I like to see hell less as a place for the damned, and more as a dumping ground for unwanted humans - which is useful to demon lords and Sins since human souls are very valuable. Think of it as revitalizing medicine - without heavenly light, an ex-angel grows ill, but souls work as a replacement.
They're actually taxed, a demon lord has to give part of the souls he collects (usually through demonic contracts) to the Sin(s) running the ring.
The souls themselves tend to be transported in "lanterns" as seen above.
Lucifer:
I interpret him as this elegant rotting creature - he looks like he's made of porcelain, but nowadays cracks are starting to form, and the light he emanates is dimming.
Belphegor:
I'm actually going for The Lanterne of Light's classification (not that I'm going to follow it sin for sin), making him the representation of Gluttony.
To me he's this lover of costumed parties (think mardi gras or the Venitians masquerades) - I was inspired by Bacchus, pigs, goats and wolves (notoriously hungry creatures) - but also the barking deer.
This jolly Belphegor you see here is a far cry from what he will later become.
