Behemoth and Leviathan

Description

Well, I don't know about you, but sometimes I just bounce around from one idea to the next, especially when I'm on-line. Anyway, I got to thinking about the different demons included in "Christianity". Now I use the term loosely because some were taken from other religions and mythologies and aren't all agreed upon by all Christians as actual Biblical demons. So I was using Wikipedia and it gave me a list of demon names and short articles on most of them. I didn't make it much farther than the D's before I started getting bored. A lot of them are these bullsh*t demons people made up and you can tell. I mean, theres tons upon tons of them and they're giving them titles like "duke" and "great marquis" of Hell.

Anyway, I was more interested in the big hitters. The ones that actually have Biblical or mythological appearances. So I found some (this was just skimming, nothing particularly serious or hard-core research), including the Leviathan and Behemoth. Both have been associated with being actual demons and I figured I'd sketch them out. Now demons and angels can take on disguised or mortal appearance so I tried to do both their "spiritual" form (I can't think of a better term) and their "mortal" form.

So maybe you're asking, what's the point? Well I thought that I could use it in some way like in a story of some kind. Maybe use demons and angels and involve them in some kind of conflict here on earth. I'd say "end of the world" scenario, but it's been done before. I mean, it's a good scenario, but just hard to do and be original still. I really like the anime movie 'X', like how they had the seven angels and the seven seals. Maybe I was thinking something along those lines. I dunno, it's all kinda vague in my mind. I just thought of these characters and drew them. I especially want to use Beelzebub, Legion, Lillith, and Satan (okay, I've heard Beelzebub used as another title for Satan, but I thought a demon dude who could summon a demon swarm of flies would be cool) in addition to these two. If anyone's got any bright ideas feel free to share them. Or heck, if you're into doing comics but need a premise and characters maybe you'd be interested in using mine. I'm the kind of guy that comes up with these characters and concepts, but never really puts them into action. If you're interested let me know.

They are not truely demons, just creatures created by God, much like wild animals. Your representation of them in this is great, especially the alias forms.
