smolder

A man seated, unclothed but for some draped fabric, shown from the thighs up. His hair is catching fire, as is a circle on his arm like burning paper; the right side of his face is darkened by smoke and soot, and limned in orange light from the flames, which also flicker in his eyes — the only color in the image. He wears a black armband and holds a glass pill bottle, from which a few white pills tumble out.

Woof, what a hottie... Brad Dourif's character, Sam Kramer aka David Bell, from Spontaneous Combustion (1990). Aka, little orphan boy.

WIP: I have a bunch more ideas for this, but I'm happy with this stopping point. Probably because I've already drawn all the fun nakey bits

Loosely based on Hot Satan, aka Guillaume Geefs' Le génie du mal: that thing where the church commissioned a guy to sculpt Satan, but he was too hot! So they got his brother to sculpt a second Satan, but it was EVEN HOTTER 😩🔥

I also did this Spontaneous Combustion music video you might enjoy

Le génie du mal - Wikipedia

Some choice quotes from the sculpture's Wikipedia page:

-> Geefs' work replaces an earlier sculpture created for the space by his younger brother Joseph Geefs, L'ange du mal, which was removed from the cathedral because of its distracting allure and "unhealthy beauty".

-> (About the first one) The cathedral administration declared that "this devil is too sublime." The local press intimated that the work was distracting the "pretty penitent girls" who should have been listening to the sermons. ... A languid scarf skims the groin, the hips are bared, and the open thighs form an avenue that leads to shadow ... L'ange du mal has been called "one of the most disturbing works of its time."

-> Whether Guillaume succeeded in removing the "seductive" elements may be a matter of individual perception.
