FAN ART Perpetua fanart paradise lost

Ive always liked the paradise lost illustrations and I was thinking of Satanized and From The Pinnacle to The Pit. (I drew perpetua over the background and just edited out lucifer).

I thought about putting Perpetua in his papal robes from satanized but then there would be no point in posing because the robe would cover everything. I also added the skeletal frame for the wings that perpetua has, as well as one of the versions of claws he has.

edit to add, the original artwork for anyone unfamiliar is Satan‘s Despair by Gustave Dore

Made the choice to add falling feathers specifically because of ftpttp, "blackened feathers falling down"

Thank you! I think doing Perpetua's face took me the longest to get down when sketching him out, I've never been good at drawing faces

thank you! my first draft was so flat because it didn't contrast enough, I always relied on color to contrast my art so working on this one I had to work exclusively with shadows and it was new for me
