About 'Chill Out' Print on the sweater in the 11th doodle -

- The print on this shirt is heavily inspired by Rafael Serra's Logo series. When I was creating this doodle, I've been wanting to create a knit graph for myself based on this logo since i vibe with it so much - hence including it in this specific look in the drawing.

I don't wanna take credit for the logo, so I thought I should mention who made it lol. I know nothing about the creator.

HeywI love your art 💕 I was wondering: what is your favorite version of Lucifer, in terms of character design? (Sandman/Sandman TV/Vertigo..)

thanks so much!!! :DDc

honestly, lucifer's character design varies so much based on who draws him, not just the comic/adaptation version, imo. i think i did a post like this before actually

in general my favorite versions of lucifer are the ones that emphasize the angel part, and the ones that emphasize the Gender. so i prefer versions of lucifer where his hair is a bit longer, and he's not a Buff Dude. i like when his design is a little more neutral

hence, my favorite versions of lucifer include (not really ordered since i like them for different reasons)

lucifer (nirvana). if i were to pick what lucifer looks like irl, i'd pick this version

i really like marc hempel's lucifer, from sandman. the little devil horns are cute, and i really really like how he's kind of, small? so many artists draw lucifer as Buff Male, and i appreciate that hempel draws him as. Not that. i could kick him in the shins.

lee garbett's lucifer is also very good. the eyelashes / eyeliner are 11/10 and his smirk gives me life. also the crayon thing utterly sends me and i love it so much

jill thompson's lucifer. like this is literally perfect. the eyelashes are flawless. also jill thompson's version of morpheus is one of my favorite depictions of him btw

gwendoline christie does SUCH an amazing job. like as a gay i think she is very cool and i love the way she's playing the character. the Gender of it all is also so good. i am watching respectfully i am enamored with the emotion she's putting into the character and also the Height is . Excellent. (and that one image in the red robe? oghgghgohgohg)

i'm mehh about other character designs from the lucifer (2000) series and sandman. frankly i really don't like a lot of the sandman design -- he's very Muscled sometimes. and he's just so...Cis Male-Coded in the art, while he's pretty explicitly not either? so i'm not a big fan of most of the lucifer series character art of him.

the covers, on the other hand, can be really lovely. like . the one where he's being carried by death. (for lucifer 2016, the best cover is the one w mazikeen and lucifer having a tender moment)

i'm also of the opinion that tom ellis is fun and cool, but the lucifer tv series really really feels soo different from sandman lucifer, so like, not really the same character? lucifer from wicdiv has a very good design tho -- not the same character but very good vibes nonetheless

i also don't realllyyyy like the lucifer (2018) version -- or rather, i liked him in the beginning w the beard, but later he just felt very. idk, the sharp acrylic nails are a Lot. that being said, i think theres something to be said about the idea of him having to rebuild his entire body while in agony, and what that form looks like because it was built while he was in a very vulnerable, hurt mindset. like, he's sharp and pointed and it fits with the character being harsh and violent in that moment, as a reaction to being imprisoned.

since lucifer is a very metaphysical character, there are some interesting character design bits that stick out to me that are his choices, e.g., his hair color. it seems to me that his hair is a sort of ginger, but that he sometimes alters it to be blond (this can be seen in lucifer #8 p. 19 when he comes back to lux). i don't have much of an explanation for this, but it's an expression of how he presents himself in the human world

his eye color. some artists draw it blue, some draw it gold; i personally like the interpretation that they're more gold when he's emotional & there's some more Power there.

his wings, too. it's clear he has a choice what type of wings to have, since it changes between panels -- i think it's most interesting to analyze when it changes, and what that reflects. for example, his wings become batlike when he and michael are falling into yggdrasil and remain so for a long time -- reflecting his emotional state throughout that part of the series.

anywayyyy there's your way too in-depth discussion of lucifer morningstar's character design. tldr im gay
