Ah!~ i love that beautiful shot of the Demon Lord in all her glory! It’ll be amazing once it’s colored, I just know it!~ (but all your art is amazing anyways XD) Anywho, I did see one error... “How was your sleep Aria? Sorry if my spell was too strong.” it just doesn’t flow right without the Was to help enhance the sentence

Oh wow, love how this is turning out.

Gilda should be grateful to Gilbert as it thanks to his screw up that she even exists. Though also makes me wonder if the church allowed Gilbert to join the Hero’s party knowing this would happen. Basically they knew Gilbert would screw up at the very end thus they are actually in on prolonging the Demon Lord cycle..

Hmmmm so Hero is just one of many minds in lodged in the Demon lord’s essence, I’m not sure how I feel about that, it kinda makes Hero as a character feel unimportant like a blank slate to me. I still think it’s a bit weird that The demon lord doesn’t change Aria right away like she did with Gilbert. I am just speaking my own opinion/mind and I’m not trying to change your mind on how you do this mini comic, you do you man but yeah I definitely feel a bit conflicted on this so far, it sorta feels more like a soft reboot of part one then a direct sequel to it.

Well hero got like 3 page before corruption. He barely a character in part 1 to be honest. Demon lord at first supposed to be 4-5 page tf sequence. I feel like to creat powerful demon the ritual is required and Gilbert tf kinda like crude on the spot transform.

Bit of an idea for Aria's transformation, if you don't already have it planned out. Feel free to discard or incorporate as you see fit: — Demon Lord returns Aria's staff to her, CLAIMING that she's willing to give her a fighting chance. (She's lying, of course.) — Aria relaxes fractionally, mistaking this as the Hero still trying to "fight back" against the DL's influence – which DL takes advantage of, shoving a Demon Seed down Aria's throat before knocking her into a pool-slash-portal of living shadow. — Aria flails inside the shadow for a brief moment (much like anyone who's ever accidentally fallen into a swimming pool), then manages to right herself and resurface. — Breaking the surface of the shadow, Aria doesn't even realize yet that she's already been fully transformed – in her panic and brief moment of sensory deprivation while in the shadow, she completely failed to notice the darkness spreading throughout her body and soul. Once this is pointed out to her, though – seeing her reflection, realizing that she's no longer holding her staff even though she can still feel her connection to it (it's been merged into her new demon body to become her tail), DL actually speaking up about her new look, whatever – because the transformation has already completed, Aria realizes she can't even find it in herself to protest, and just accepts it.

Yeah the story of part one was a bit vague and left to interpretation although I would argue that in part 1 Hero’s personality/memories were used by the Demon Lord enough (heck page 7 was my favorite page of part 1 for that very reason, the raw fury and emotion in Hero’s new voice as she lashed out at Gilbert with her all consuming purple aura was brimming with emotional/character story telling potential) that it is at odds with the chaotic mind we see here. That being said I totally understand that the primary enjoyment of your work is the artwork (which I have always thought that you are great at) not story, just as a heads up I have made some great progress on Rise of the ArchDemon Queen part 2/2 (TG/TF) story just want to double check on that to make sure you have no issue with me adapting a story from you again although it looks like this time it will be quite a bit looser of an adaptation admittedly. {Somehow I accidentally deleted the comment that came after this...stupid phone. Here it is recreated as closely as I could make it.} So Hero’s personality is still the dominant one well that’s cool although if that’s the case I don’t think it was as portrayed as well as it could have been. The Demon Lord Clearly says that Hero is just one of many minds within (with her even replying to Aria does it really matter if I am still Hero?) her and saying that that’s enough about her. When the Demon Lord refers to her struggling to maintain her ego personality is she referring to Hero? I don’t think we really disagree on the purpose of page 7 for part 1but the exact significance of it. Like I said for me I loved the Emotion and power (particularly the You Kneeeeew line coupled with the intimidating yet Beautifully crafted purple aura) it conveyed it was so good and I’m glad you made it because otherwise my Rise of the ArchDemon Queen adaptation may never have happened. Sorry if I am being a bother the last thing I want to do is upset or irritate you.

Well on that scene it's more like hero lost control of emotions by Gilbert action and unable to stop demon lord will to merge with his. I mean during his talk with aria before gilbert attack him should show that he slowly succum to it. Also the hero memory is still dominance in this one. He still call Aria by name. I just try to explain nature of hero being demon lord more.

Hmmm Interesting bit about she saying how its hard for hero demonlord to keep her Ego, What if before transforming Aria she asks if Aria would be willing to help her maintain it by always being by her side and never letting her forget who she was.

ibenz009

Hmm maybe i should use word more clearly. I intend on does it really matter since he already become full demon. Yes the dominence ego is still hero but with the mix of demon lord personality and viewpoint. Not worry it maybe give me new perspective for story

Is that close up of Gildas mouth in panel 3 supposed to show like demon teeth? I think the *crack* sound effect implies that her mouth can open way bigger than it's current form, which is cool. Love to see more of this! And there's a ritual now? Is Aria going to turn into a demon physically before she does so mentally or vice versa? Camt wait to find out!

ibenz009

I mean she still is technically Gilbert with his entire being and personality modified.

MagicCobra911

Lastly Gilbert’s Golem Demoness design sure doesn’t look like a crude/weak form to me, like many of your designs it is awesome/beautiful. It has been especially fun for me to think up how all three of them Hero, Gilbert and Aria in their Demon forms would fight😄.

Milton Romero

Still would be interesting if Aria was informed they were all betrayed by the church and they allow the demon lord to live by having heroes kill the demon lord. Than become the next one themselves. The Hero was used to strengthen the demon lord, Gilbert to ensure it would happen, Aria was meant to die thus never stepping out her family’s shadow. Thus why nit embrace the darkness and become the shadow that devour her family instead.

Demon Lord looking swagalicious in that cape... and Gilda looking scary AF with that gaping maw tease. Love it all! Big surprise, I know. I have trouble holding onto continuity of personality in the face of such radical transformations, and sounds like others do as well. I endeavored to lean slightly more in that direction with my edits, but it's difficult with limited dialog and the main focus being on the ritual to come. That's not really a criticism of the story structure, at least from my perspective. I'm rolling with the interpretation that Hero is able to hold his head above the metaphorical water only because he is going along with the gestalt's desire to convert his (former) friends into demonic minions.

Asani

I always seem to end up tweaking a word here or there after I post these, but this should suffice for now. Last edit: 2020-10-28 01:00 PST 3.1 There there, Aria, don't fret. I thought you were cute even before Goddess remade me. 3.2.1 Hmm, there's something different about your scent though. Is this [fear / what fear smells like]? Exquisite. 3.2.2 ...took a little bite, would she? 3.3.1 take => stand 3.3.2 Don't worry, Aria, I won't [nibble on / gobble up] anything vital, heh heh 3.4.1 gigle => giggle Kidding! *giggle* I just felt like teasing you a little. 3.4.2 We have something special planned for you, and I wouldn't dream of damaging Goddess's [new / next] servant. 3.4.3 Ahh don't be mad Aria, I'm sorry for scaring you, heh heh 3.4.4 No this girl, this "thing", definitely wasn't kidding. I'm safe only because she is suppressing her urges(, for now).

Asani

4.1.1 Gilda, have you been enjoying yourself with dear, sweet Aria? I trust she's still in one piece. Has the ritual been prepared? 4.1.2 ...everything is as you requested. 4.1.3 {use smaller text to indicate Aria asking it in the background to no-one in particular} 4.2.1 Good. It would be rude to keep our guest waiting. 4.2.3 How was your slumber? My apologies for the strength of the spell. (I find it’s best to err on the side of caution.)

Asani

5.2.1 ... Or is he truly gone? / ... Or have you consumed his soul as well? 5.3.2 I'm a manifestation of the collective demonic will to have a leader. 5.4.1 If you really must know, some part of Hero remains, but he is merely one among untold generations of Demon Lords that make up the "me" you see before you. 5.4.2 Truthfully, Aria, I'm having difficulty holding onto any part of myself. It's all I can do to not simply drown in the ocean of chaos inside my mind. 5.5.2 After all, today is your special day. / After all, today you are the star of the show.

i thought that crack was her skin, about to split open for her mouth.

Ok so then, i hope Aira dos fight the transformation. I think she would have be mind broken, perhaps lose her past self? Maybe ask to be able to collect soemeone from the past? Now then... so the DEmon Lord is a being of collective memories? Mm well that works. Scould see that on how to make the heros could win. Also why not have it so she ends up getting a complete fusion of all the old demon lords memories and Hero's? Like a brand new person? Not a demon lord trying to keep control over the body? Also i think the Demon lod could be called Demon Gqueen since Lord is normally used for a male. Grammar help. Page 3: Last Panel. Aira should say "This girl.... No. this "thing" wasn't kidding. She just barely suppressed her urge." Page 5: Second Panel, top right: "Are you Hero or just the Demon Lord using his body?" Page 5, Panel 3. Second from the top right. "I'm just the collective will of demons wanting a leader." Second to botton panel, on the left. "But if you really want to know. A small part of me is "Hero" which was mixed into the many generations of my Demon Lord memories" Second to bottom panel, Right: "It's still kind of hard to be the dominate ego, having to keep my guard up or i will be drowning in the sea of chaos in my mind."
