Alright! Here's hoping Tumblr doesn't do horrible things to the quality on this one. It did not do well when put through my messaging app...
Anyway, this is Lucifer and Alastor's first meeting! I went on Google maps street view and dropped the little guy into the middle of a forest in Louisiana and then took a bunch of screenshots to base the environment off of. The northern foresty bits of Louisiana are surprisingly coniferous, which I wasn't expecting. I knew the Bayou was mostly in the southern part, but I thought the northern area would be more deciduous. The more you know, I guess!
This one took me literally forever. Mostly because of Rosaline and the background, not gonna lie. I draw people relatively quickly. Anything else takes me hours and hours to do. I am rather proud of how it turned out, though. I tried a new thing with the shading, too! I usually blend my shadows to give them more of a softer look, but I didn't do that here. I think I like it? For the trees, at least, I think it looks cool.
As far as lore goes, I feel like this one's pretty self explanatory. Lucifer picked up Alastor mostly because he thought that adding another person to his road trip would look less suspicious than just him, and this is set before people really started thinking about the dangers of picking up some random guy off the side of the road. For Alastor's part, he doesn't trust white men, like, at all. Which Lucifer is. (Technically. Race is a little weird to portray here since I'm drawing everybody in demon form, but just know that Lucifer is, in fact, white.) Lucifer is also only five foot two and built like a sturdy gust of wind would knock him over, so there's a bit of cognitive dissonance going on there for Alastor. That's another one of his internal Things he has to work through.
