The whole idea came into being from buying that head. I thought it looked cool and I could learn some head painting - starting with something not so human. In the end, I don't like the result too much. With a devil head, I thought of Diablo 2 and making some kind of hell's Forge. Just in my own interpretation.
Here are the original pics:







I painted the body partial red to fit the head color.

Oh wow, yes, I can see how the devil head gives the whole thing a totally different vibe. I love the red marks on the body by the way, it looks awesome!

That looks great, too, Valiarde, no wonder you won! Nice touch with the pentagram and satanic head on the wall, too.

I like the devil-head version, enamoured with the first pics.
you really convey the ambiance of your dios with how you
compose your photos.... well done as always!

The devil head looks pretty cool, as well.

Excellent work. I love your environments and characters. And while it may be impractical, I think forging shirtless at least provides an explanation as to why a blacksmith would be hairless. It all got singed away! LOL
