development of my character

even though I have used programs like dream weave and using Photoshop to create silhouettes what I have created I think does not symbolise what the Lucifer is or how I'm trying to portray him. so I draw out a basic idea of him using the research I had to design Satan. starting from the top is my basic idea of the pose with Lucifer looking up to god with admiration and his left hand in the air as it was known that Lucifer was the left hand man of god. I also wanted Satan to hold an idea that either represented sin or represented him job as judge over humans; so I had an idea of a branding iron as if he is marking out the sinful for god to have final judgement over also the flower symbolises diligence the blue robe I thought was appropriate as he is pictured in this colour when he is heaven. Also I wanted his form and age to be of a young youthful child as they show innocence as well as being called by god as an "cherub guardian".

In conclusion I have decided that I will do Satan with goats leg (to remember his history is art with the pagan gods), short blue robe so I am able to show detail on the legs and with the branding iron with the symbol of  an apple. even though he isn't in the story of Adam and Eve the apple is one of the most well known symbols that represent sin. The next step is to start modelling him on Zbrush.
