Another supernatural-religious-renaissance-inspired figure study from me, or as someone else recently said, more strategically posed naked dudes

I originally planned to have this one take place in a more elaborate environment. But the more I worked on the character, the more he developed a kind of... quiet malevolence, which was getting lost when he was a small part of a bigger picture.

So I've ended up keeping him the focus, with a simple background, but hopefully with enough details to make it interesting and tell a bit of a story... We study the demon, and feel safe while doing so because he is imprisoned within the circle. But the demon is also studying us, and upon closer observation we see there are breaks in the circle, and little bits of him are escaping...

Yes, all the sigils in the circle actually have meanings, having to do with the demon's nature.
