"What are the demons, you may ask. I sure you that they are the people of The Nameless who got them from the other gods at the First Age of Andaya right before the gods had created the races of the world. The other gods pitied The Nameless, because he was small and powerless on the standards of the other gods, hence they gave him a small portion of their creation - some humans, elves, dwarves, giants, and angels - as a gift of compassion when he asked for small portion of creatures for every god. Afterwards, he lead the given people to his kingdom of heaven that he named Hell after the arrival of his new people. There, on the fiery plains and black mountains of his heaven, he corrupted them, mutilated them, to appear more like him - wicked and hideous. Once noble and pure creatures were tainted with evil, and their mind became obsessed with malice and cruelty.

The most pitiful of the mutilated creatures were the succubi - once they were angels of pure heart, The People of Solara the Sun Goddess, and beings of the noblest and brightest of all over Andaya. Their bright feathered wings were transformed into a hideous bat wings and their golden and pearly eyes were reddened with fickling flames. I am even more saddened by that their utmost love and passion were totally corrupted and tortured by His evil presence. They are now obsessed with dire lust and malice that not even the most evil human can start to compare with. "

This is an illustration of Lenne the Succubus that is one of the four main characters my upcoming fantasy novel series written in Finnish.

She has an exotic appearance of a succubi demon, although, she is still a very attractive woman in spite of her clear characteristics of a demon. Actually, she is magically so attractive that males in various of races fell instantly in love with her. She knows that too well and she use her looks and quick wits to accomplish some malicious and capricious deeds to her own end that may seem random or chaotic to an outsider. If her fantastic seduction and oratory skills are going to fail, or most likely she get irritated to someone enough, she has her magical handcrossbow in her sleeves (or somewhere near her anyway ). As a demon, Lenne has a great temptation to use the weapon loaded with poisonous bolts against everyone foolish enough to irritate or question her capticious actions. And even if her crossbow fails to accomplish what she wants and her enemy gets dangerously near her, she can always use her innate ability of teleportation that is only away of snapping a finger...


It was really nice to create this picture and I pleased to the result. This is my first time I used Art Media Tools like Palette Knife and Oil Brush, and it worked quite well. The shape of Lenne is made by Smudge/Push and an art media layer were added onto the woman's body. I didn't want to tailor the wings more than this because in my opinion strokes of oil brush give a viewer something more than just clear picture. I may add some small details like golden jewelry or magical effects on her left hand to make the teleportation skills more apparent.
Nevertheless, I'm very proud of this one.

As you may see the this is just an upper part of the picture. The whole picture will be seen on the pages of my second fantasy novel afterwards.
