Satan Demon Form Redesign 💚🔥

[More Info Below / Demon Form Redesigns ]

Preliminary Thoughts / Word Salad

DISCLAIMER: NO CHARACTER DESIGN IS PERFECT! I designed these with my tastes in mind (these are purely subjective). I did not make these to insult the developers and their hard work. I also didn’t make these to fight with other people in the fandom (let me be a freak in peace)!

While I’m a fan of Satan, I personally dislike his demon form. A lot. His canon form seems… rushed? An afterthought? There are parts that I like (the weird rib cage ribbon is interesting to me), but most of it is… eh??? Anyways I think he deserved better, at least in some aspects of visual design. While most of Beel’s redesign were additions to his existing form, most of Satan’s are changes.

Satan’s visual design centers around opposing Lucifer in every possible way. Be it bright color palettes or asymmetry, he dresses in a way to visually solidify a unique identity for himself. Also, asymmetry, at least in my perspective, plays a lot into concepts of ‘imperfection’ and ‘incompletion’ and I think it works in showing his perception of self / forming an identity outside of Lucifer (later lessons hint that Satan feels like an inadequate copy of him). Anyway, those are the main focuses of this design. I’m grasping at straws and I feel like I’m going insane. <3

[ I’m monologuing too much. Onto the actual redesign.]

Redesign Info

With this redesign, there are two components.

----

The first form is a dormant one, with black gradients covering the limbs of the body (soot-like) and smoke coming out of arms and hooves legs.

Summary Info / HCs

Smoke erupting from limbs (can also emerge from eyes and mouth)

Black gradients on arms + legs

Detached / Suspended hooves feet (Wanted to make him seem ‘incomplete’)

Black sclera + Greener eyes

Cracks in horns

----

The second form is an ignited version of the first, with flames replacing the smoke.

He usually reaches this form when he’s pushed to a certain edge. The first form is a warning and the second form is the final outcome to most scenarios / gags.

Summary Info / HCs

Fire erupting from limbs (can also emerge from eyes and mouth)

Glowing veins + Transparent skin (parts of the bone can be also seen underneath)

Glowing Eyes + Mouth

Flames crack through the skin like molten lava on dark rock (Shows in cracks in horns as well)

The stronger / longer he burns, the more parts of his body turn to ash / detach. If it’s too much, all that’s left is a crooked black skeleton on fire :D

He’ll slowly recover overtime if he goes over the line

Will his outfit burn off when he ignites??? (only when I want it to)

----

Outfit

Portions are mostly mish-mashed from his different canon outfits: Outfit cropping like his butler outfit, Satan (™) coat draping like his casual / human world, button-up from his TSL, etc.

Lots of the implementations of the outfit take inspiration directly from his canon demon form. Gold patterning is taken from his belt, metal harness? taken from his ribcage bow concept, etc

Tried to implement the boa / fluff / feathers into the coat. I could never form an outfit and keep the boa. It drives me nuts

----

Additional Undrawn Concepts

More detached / suspended portions of his body

The smoke that comes out of his body can materialize into weapons? Hazardous objects?

If he blows himself up too much he just turns to ashes. Slowly reforms over time.

Transparent skin goes a bit farther and you can maybe see his rib cage / organs? Maybe take it a step further and instead of the ribcage ribbon it’s an open top with a distorted rib cage popping out?
