Description There are so many things I wish I couldn't say that were true. I didn't take part in the demise of thousands and millions of lives and the end of not only civilizations, but entire worlds. Complete genocide. That I'm not a walking plague or that I'm not destruction and death made flesh. The tears and screams of the innocent have long been silenced and only in dreams, or rather, nightmares do they ring for an eternity of endless injustice and pain that their perceptions of time were cut short. No tears or feelings of guilt shall be shared because there are none to be had at the outreached hands of the bringer of woe. I am not a slave yet I live a life of servitude and a longing of freedom that never seems to come and is the only thread that keeps me bound to existence. Love is frivouless and a concept for the weak, yet I long for the compassion of benevolence only to receive pain, deception and hatred bound tightly by the bonds of blood. I spit in the face of all and any gods who dare to gaze upon me and my often misunderstood reign of tyranny that leaves all scarred and grotesque from the backlash of a trillion cries from every abstact and diverse realm, of horror and sheer murder in his name. I'm shown no pity or sympathy, for who would give such aknowlegment to a tool. To a monster. I ride on wings of the ill-fated and destroy on souls forever damned to curse. Death would be such a sweet escape for those who could appreciate it's many paradise qualities, but to the undying it is a foul little devil that just points and laughs. I have not found my end in battle or in service, nor have I loved or been loved in return, yet I still linger and haunt and what it is I seek is always just beyond my grasp.


This is words from his own mouth...a very conflicted individual huh? This is just a basic colour job...I'll be doing an advanced version sooner or later.

I did indeed design him and create everthing about him. Well he's not a vampire. He's a half-demon and he gained his perspective through having a tyrannical father bent on overthrowing the universe. He values freedom above anything else and upon being denied what was promised to him he turns to total anarchy and kills his father. Eventually joining with the heroes who were trying to destroy him. He then takes over his fathers throne and becomes one of the 11 demon-lords of the underworld realms. Not quite a being of rightousness or malice.

lol yeah he's supposed to be that type of dark beauty kind of like a vampire. I have to redraw him and give him more comic appeal.

Hi there---not a stalker, just an appreciator!

I saw your art on Facebook through a friend's post and just had to come to Deviant and check out more. Beautiful stuff; being a writer, it's a knee-jerk for me to be instantly jealous of excellent artists...grrr! I'll be watching u...

Well thank you, love. I'm glad you enjoy my stuff. I'm a writer too...a far better one then an artist actually! I just have a slight knack for this type of art aswell though.

Thanks for the watch and fav

Oh the man of steel returns...he can't be killed that easy, but by the time he gets back it's too late...the majority of super heroes in the world are defeated by a single man.

After Supes wouldn't he still have to deal with Supergirl and E-2 Power Girl though? :/

Corey-Lee In reply to Zal-Ta-TalOs [2010-01-18 02:45:28 +0000 UTC]

Well Superman was on his own and even if those two around he would have much to worry about. His powers are demonic and arcane in nature so the limit of his power is a mystery.

Zal-Ta-TalOs In reply to Corey-Lee [2010-01-18 02:50:01 +0000 UTC]

Then there's always DC's queen of all Super-Heroes Wonder Woman who surely could give this guy a real run for his money.

Corey-Lee In reply to Zal-Ta-TalOs [2010-01-18 15:39:26 +0000 UTC]

She's not as good as Superman and if he can beat the man of steel, she has little to no chance of standing up to him.

Zal-Ta-TalOs In reply to Corey-Lee [2010-01-19 00:01:48 +0000 UTC]

Not as good as Supes? o_0 Dude she's a divine avatar created by actual Greek goddesses and raised by Amazons, I think she'd outrank Superman any day.

Corey-Lee In reply to Zal-Ta-TalOs [2010-01-19 18:22:49 +0000 UTC]

No way...Superman has to supress his powers so that he doesn't hurt people or beings. Wonder Woman is strong though and she would put up a great fight against him, but the end line is Superman coming out on top. Even if she was stronger then Superman she wouldn't deal with Crow well on her own...he still has the upper hand with his magical properties.

Zal-Ta-TalOs In reply to Corey-Lee [2010-01-20 09:37:09 +0000 UTC]

All due respect I'd be to differ. Wonder Woman was an actual greek goddess (of truth) on Mount Olympus where Superman is just a mere run of the mill human like alien under a red sun.

Corey-Lee In reply to Zal-Ta-TalOs [2010-01-20 23:47:06 +0000 UTC]

True...in that reguard Wonder woman doesn't really have any massive weaknessess which does put her on a higher level then SM all together, but under SMs peak conditions he can out strength and out speed her...so long as his weakness is put into play.

Hey there. Wow, that's a pretty epic piece. I'm pretty new on here and I'm not trying to be a stalker, but I sent you a message on pof. Hope you read it soon! Maybe when I finally get the concept of technology, I can start putting my pieces on here as well So yeah saw your link to here, and decided to check it out. Message me back soon!

lol you wouldn't be my first stalker XD

That's cool...I have another buddy on here I met on POF. I honestly never expected to really meet people from both sites, but that's what happens when you promote yourself to a new audience I guess lol.

What technology are you trying to figure out? it's all pretty easy once you start using it...I should know since I'm 100% completely sewlf-taught in every aspect of the digital medium.

Well I'm glad you came to check me out. Always nice to find new fans

He looks scary... But I like it . I would suggest working on the proportions for the chest and arms. I am not sure if he is throwing he chest out or if his chest is just too big, but it looks awkward.

I love the coloring on this and this guy is just...creepy. Very nice

Corey-Lee In reply to anjyil [2009-08-19 03:38:04 +0000 UTC]

Agreed...it's a matter of perspective and I messed it up a little, but I was trying to get the feel that he's slightly bend forward.

Thank you

In the next version bring a little more depth to the colors.
He looks very flat. With the right colors and shadings in the right places it will jump out more.

Oh yeah absolutely! I just wanted to get a basic version out to see what it would look like and despite the flat appearence he looks pretty good still.
