Jinmen commission for ThemightyNanto

I've done a commission for @themightynanto of The Devilman The Demon Bird version of Jinmen, who also shows up in ThemightyNanto's Devilman/Devilman Lady fic Devilman: The Rebirth! Big thank you to ThemightyNanto for commissioning me on this piece, it was fun drawing Jinmen for the first time and a great challenge for me to stretch myself as an artist!   

Btw if you like what you see and want a commission drop me a direct message on tumblr, instagram or a note on deviantart

Has anyone pointed out yet how Jinmen appears for a split second at the beginning of The Birth but his design seems completely different from his appearance in Demon Bird, like it's more manga-accurate I think

+ OG Devilman is my favorite of all

Devilman Crybaby has so many mistakes but I like the reincarnated baby Satan… It could have been really cool but animators ruined it.

Amon the Apocalypse of Devilman has the coolest style in my opinion

I like watching OVAs

+ Favorite characters

Ryo/Satan

Mido Tatsuma (I love him so much)

Might as well get to it but my old devilman reimaginings when i was originally working on my own version of the story (never got around to scanning them so they're older photos). Akira's base form was intended as a mix of various designs, particularly his original furry look and his occasional insectoid armor from Apocalypse & Darkside, going with his Apocalypse purple color as it was a mix of Amon's blue, green, and red colors over the years. There was also some ps1 modrl renders in there and the mullet being inspired by 90s Supes. Unfortunately Akira's lower area looks off as younger me thought it would make his transformation less awkward somehow. If i ever get back to it, i would just give Akira full hairy legs which would eventually go to insectoid armor after fighting Jinmen as a way of representing him hardening, figuratively and literally

The other two forms were basically inspired by Ultraman Tiga. The power form was inspired by some Crybaby concept art which itself by Hellboy. The fists were also inspired by some live action concept. The speed form was inspired by fan designs I've seen a couple times of Akira having a longer snout and is ironically more armored than the previous two. I actually thought up more for it than the Power Form as it would've been a result of Akira getting infected from a bite from Jinmen and eventually showing up during his fight with Sirene. Don't think i ever thought up of a fourth form.

Oh my god the devilman volume I got like cuts off abruptly after the jinmen chapter and is like. Now in the middle of shin devilman this is so funny

[plushedboy]

sorry but as i saw the devilman anton/peppino stuff i felt compelled to make some extra pieces

i think of vigilante as kaim and pepperman as jinmen but i have no idea how to make those work so this is all you're getting

Hi, hope this isn't weird- I followed for the Jojo fanart and stayed for the dmcb content. However, I can't fully appreciate the art and other references bc I watched dmcb at least two years ago and all I remember is that time Akira busted a nut so hard it reached the ceiling. In lieu of rewatching the show or reading the manga are you willing to give a rundown of the plot :D be as concise or lengthy as you like and no pressure to actually answer, but I figured you might enjoy the opportunity to infodump to a very eager audience ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Hi there!

Sure, I´ll give you a little summary but first I let know that your message made me laugh really hard, the "nutting in the ceiling" scene is so bizarre that is not surprise that you remember it .

Basically, dmcb is an adaptation of the original Devilman series from the 70, so there are a few changes from the og story in order to reach newer audiences. The og series dealt with themes like the fear of an upcoming war but also made a point to show how humans tend to be selfish and irrational. It wasn´t meant to have a happy ending but rather show our cruel nature.

Crybaby changed the war aspects to show social issues like xenophobia but the ending remained almost the same. (Spoilers: Akira dies at the hands of Satan who then realizes how pointless the war between humans and demons is. This is because he was in love with Akira and now that he´s gone, he feels completely empty).

There are a couple of changes in the main characters too.

Og Akira was a little bit more violent because of the influence of Amon (the demon he fused with) and he wasn´t as sentimental as the crybaby version but he had his human side too.

Ryo (the blonde one) was the one who had more changes. He is still pretty much violent and deranged in the og version but he is way more human, in the sense that he shows way more emotions, allowing himself to be vulnerable. In the manga, when it was revealed that he was Satan it was a little bit more impactful because, while he had his violent tendencies, he still was pretty much a guy fighting alongside his friend to defeat demons and save humanity.

Crybaby Ryo on the other hand was a little bit colder to the point that I and other people who watched the show suspected that something was up with him. (Still love him tho) Also, the fact that he loves Akira is present in every adaptation he's in and is crucial to his character.

I should mention that there are a bunch of adaptations to the manga, the most popular ones are 1987' OVAs and Crybaby but there´s also Amon: Apocalypse of Devilman and a crossover between 009 Cyborg and Devilman. Every one of these has its own take on Akira and Ryo´s design and I tend to use all of them as references.

So, basically the sequents of events goes like this:

_ Ryo takes Akira to the Sabbath where he merges with a demon.

_ They go demon hunting and the story shows Akira trying to manage his new body.

_ There are a couple of demons that almost always are present: Sirene (she´s the one with the wings on her head and he titties out) Kaim (he's always with sirene and simps for her) Jinmen (the turtle) and Zennon (He´s the giant one with three heads).

_At some point the demons realize that Satan was simping way too hard and sacrificed one the strongest demons in order to keep Akira alive in the case of an Apocalypse so they invade the earth to kill al humans.

_Ryo finds out he´s Satan and joins the demons as their lord/god.

_ Miki Makimura (the girl who lived with Akira and the one he ad a crush on) dies in a HORRIBLE way and that prompts Akira to let go of his humanity and desire to live.

_He still wants to kick Satan's ass tho.

_ Satan kills him instead (accidentaly, I guess).

_ While he´s sobbing for the loss of the one he loved, God appears and kills everyone and reestarts the world.

There are two sequels to Devilman (Violent Jack and Devilman Lady) but for the love of Satan don't read them, both of them are incredibly violent and filled with SA. I sometimes draw stuff from Devilman lady (which is the worst one) because I got really attached to some of the characters even if the story they are in is one of the worst things I ever read.

I think I covered some of the essentials if you have more questions feel free to send me another dm. Also I'm sorry if there are some gramatical errors, english is not my first language so I might screw up some sentences.

DVMNINKTOBER Day 7 OVA

So I've been slowly, slowly been working my through this year's Devilman Inktober by nozoshii created for the community https://www.tumblr.com/nozoxshii/763169423585673216/i-made-a-devilman-inktober-prompt-list-for-the?source=share

The seventh day prompt is the OVA and I have to say that the 87-90 adaption of Devilman is one my favorite version of Devilman, its right up there with the manga and its because it is despite some changes it is extremely close to the manga's plot and honestly I think it really improved on some things too! The art style and the animation of the OVAs was truly godtier, like I cannot express enough how beautiful it is to watch, the use of colour that used to bring the horrific demons of Go Nagai's creation was masterful! The music is amazing and oh my gosh the demon bird arc was beautifully adapted in the OVA!

Like no joke it was so well done, I love how it starts off with Jinmen and Akira having to battle with the fact he can't always save everyone including his own mother and ends with him barely surviving his grand fight with Sirene! Honestly the OVAs do a lovely job with showing subtly Akira's morals break down little by little when he is introduced to violence and honestly if the OVAs had been able to be finished I am convinced that we would've seen Akira fully break down and abandon humanity in the final OVA part, I mean he does in the Drama CD so there's that at least.

But back to the demon bird arc, I utterly adore how the OVA did Sirene, she is powerful and yet shows some vulnerabilities as she battles with Akira for to avenge Amon's soul and man she really is his equal in so many ways, if Akira had made one wrong move he could've been torn apart by Sirene!

So for this picture I wanted to center Sirene a lot more and have Akira and Ryo be the more looming evil presence surrounding her, since in Sirene's POV they are the villains of her story. This was a hell of a test of my composition skills and honestly this batch of arts I'm gonna be throwing your way is all about me stretching myself when it comes to composition. XD

Incorrect Quotes for that Devilman vs. Kinikkuman Crossover I'm Making up...

Mantaro Muscle: You're back early. Weren't you having a good time? Devilman: Yeah, I was. But I didn't wanna miss springtime in Tokyo. Mantaro Muscle: *jumping with excitement* What did you do? Devilman: I'll tell you later. = = = = Devilman: I just happened to be walking past your training place, you weren't there so I thought I'd come over here. Mantaro Muscle: Devilman, did you see you know what? Devilman: Of course, I didn't, I closed my eyes like I said. Mantaro Muscle: Of course, you did. = = = = Bibinda: Oh, alright, I suppose I have to tell someone or I'll burst. Devilman: Secrets?! = = = = *Devilman waking up Mantaro* Devilman: Wake up, Mantaro, we gotta hurry. = = = = Devilman: But what are you going to put inside them, Bibinda? Bibinda: What do you think? Us, of course, Devilman! Devilman: US?! GOODNESS! = = = = Devilman: *chasing down Mantaro* MANTARO! MANTARO! Mantaro Muscle: YES? WHAT IS IT, DEVILMAN?! Devilman: YOU LOOK JUST LIKE TARZAN! Mantaro Muscle: Oh, don't be so silly, Devilman. = = = = *Devilman, whistling out to a snoring Jinmen* Devilman: He's still snoring, Mantaro. I'll do it again. *Devilman, whistling out again, the snoring stops* Devilman: Well, that's done it. = = = = Suzie: Would you be kind enough to carry my suitcase? Devilman: I'm sorry, I can't, I'm too busy. Suzie: I'll reward you handsomely for your efforts, think again, young man. Devilman: But all I want to do is fish! = = = = Devilman: I want to be on my own. Mantaro Muscle: Oh no, please stay here. I'll let you steer if you want. Devilman: No, really, Mantaro, please. Bye now! *jumps off* Mantaro Muscle: NOOO- = = = = Devilman: *laughs* Mantaro Muscle: It's not a laughing matter, Devilman, I hardly slept and I ache all over! Devilman: Still, poor little things, having their house fall down. = = = = Devilman: I'm sorry, you can't have anymore, that's all I have. Meat Alexandria: I don't believe you, your bag's still full! Devilman: Yes, but not with food, Alexandria. Meat Alexandria: What's in it, then? Devilman: You'll soon find out. *snaps a stick* - - - -

If you couldn't tell, most of these incorrect quotes stem from The Moomins, specifically those that include Snufkin. A prominent pattern here is Devilman being Snufkin and the rest being other characters from the Moomins.

The main reason I went for this is because there are a lot of fun lines and thought they could work! The most basic reason I got!

Enough rambling, I need to get this thing posted. ASAP.

i hate seeing the most questionable devilman takes and then seeing the only likes are people who’ve only watched dmcb

[kairunatic]

For some reason, the new AE mob reminds me of Jinmen from Devilman except his victim faces is behind his shell and are very much aware of whats going on.

So not fully possess

[revretch]

You can definitely have fused monsters that don't share a mind, what?? That's the classic set-up for many-headed monsters, like Cerberus or Medusa! And for specifically an unwilling fusion monster, just look at Jinmen from Devilman!

Nagging question
