“Apotheosis of the Speaker” Thumbnail WIP (Patreon)

You all said you want to see the process on big colour pieces awhile back and this one will probably be a WIP for awhile, so here’s the rough thumbnail sketch: Had to get the idea out of my head.

For those who don’t know, the Speaker of God in Hazbin Hotel is (almost assuredly) based off of a certain Angel from the Apocrypha among various sources; a human man by the name of Enoch who ascended and became the angel Metatron (do not say it I will zap you into a pillar of salt and you won’t enjoy it~) who is also the only Angel that speaks directly with and sits in the presence of God. I guess this is technically TF-TG? Even if Angels are genderless, this particular one presents feminine.

I wanted to layer in both religious and psychedelic imagery here, and it’s roughly inspired by TOOL’s album artwork, and the song Pneuma. The final version will have a much more detailed explanation of things, but here’s the WIP, anyway!

This is like ~45 minutes of work, most of it spent trying to set the composition which is rather a bit more complicated than my usual work.
