SciFi and Fantasy Art: Volos

This was a comission for someone's RPG character, with a modern fantasy setting. No, he is not a true gargoyle; he's probably closer in species to something vaguely demonic.

Yup, he was my character for the White Wolf game Demon: the Fallen. I really appreciate the great work done with this pic and highly recommend Kythera as a commissioned artest. Thanx!

Wow. The shading in this picture is wonderfull. It really gives you the effect of night(even it you took out the dark background). And the almost contrasting lighting of the flame in his hand (could there also be a large bonfire before hin?). The way he is positioned and looking at you makes you scared for a split second. Keep up the good work!

"Volos" (and/or "Veles") is the name of an ancient god from Slavic Paganism. The old pagan religion is coming back, and you can find websites with information on this God as he is one of the main deities in the Slavic pantheon. He has horns and he is a god of wilderness and hunting, much like Herne or Cernunnos. You can easily find information by google searching on "Volos" and "god."

If you're going to make evil demons, then it's a good idea to *not* name them after other people's sacred Gods. Just a thought.
