Aloha Avian, I'm really stoked about your plan to render Isilblius in a drawing! I'm looking forward to how you would interpret him... As far as descriptions, here are a couple excerpts from TBT that may (or may not) be useful: From Part 47--Absinthe "The Demon was dark red, with gleaming rouge-skin and a ridiculously muscular body. He stood almost eight feet tall. His brutal face was crowned with two golden horns and long green hair with orange streaks. His deepset bright red eyes glowed like beads of volcanic lava; his complexion was studded with ridges of small horns for eyebrows, cheekbones and jawline. His eyes spilled over with a lusty hatred which repulsed and terrified Urd. The Demon's body was covered with a rough skin scaled with small prickly spikes, and he had bone-like shards extending out of his knuckles and down the middle of his back." From Chapter 102--An Eternity's Accord Between Infinity and Compassion "To her surprise, Isilblius appeared to her in his true form. She had encountered him once before when he had suddenly appeared in their midst, casting a fatal shadow over all of them. His body was colored differently this time; naturally, Isilblius could realize any physical form he wanted. Manifesting in a hulking, brutish form, Isilblius initially reminded her of Tyyr, former Marshall of the WarGods. His mesomorphic frame was predominantly dark-green skinned, with random streak-patterns of orange and silver that flared across his broad limbs like fire-flames. Long shaggy shocks of green-yellow hair streamed back from his temples. A blunt forehead forced his eyebrows to furrow low over his eyes, concealing them partially with shadow so that his gaze appeared deep-set and dangerous. Thick golden horns wrapped back from his forehead into a semi-spiral. Jagged shards of bone pierced through the periphery of his arms and legs, looking like spikes. In like manner, his backbone was a profusion of sharp-pointed ridges of bone. He had a short thick tail instead of a coccyx, and his legs were short and squat, with thick cords of muscle and claw." As I imagine Isilblius, his face blends features from traditional Japanese tengu, Quattrocento decorative grotesqueries and Gothic gargoyles stylings. As for his physique, something that resembles an 'organic' Gundam... Isilblius is definitely interesting subject matter, since he is the one character who's image is strictly imaginary at this point. Good luck to you in your efforts to clothe imagination with artistry...
