#devil leon

Everyone keeps drawing the infected Leon's together, SO I MUST JOIN THE BANDWAGON!

Haaaaaaaa I finally finished it, been working on this ink drawing for a little over two weeks now lol

Really wanted to draw the rage moment of @polarspaz's Devil Leon, where he fully transforms for the first time during the verdugo fight. Verdugos are such a complicated design I swear.

Here's hoping Tumblr doesn't completely murder the quality like ot did my last couple posts.

Oh ffs here he go again. To the DMC fandom: I deeply apologize.

If I have to suffer so do y'all: @polarspaz @laf-e-taffy @quasar-crew @thesmi1ingcheshire

Devil Leon

If there is one benefit to becoming part demon, it would be that it made his job suck WAY less ass, if Leon was going be honest. No longer did he dread receiving a call in the middle of the night, but instead found himself waiting impatiently by his phone, drumming his fingers against his thigh as demonic energy bubbled underneath his skin.

He needed to get rid of this excess energy and fighting super powered Bio-weapons was the best way to accomplish that. A simple, friendly spar was not going to cut it. If the mission was slightly challenging, he might be even able to relax at least two weeks before the energy would surge within him again.

He even gives specialized phones to Claire, Chris, Sherry, and Jill, telling them if they ever need help, to call him IMMEDIATELY and he can find them by following the tracker on their device.

Chris was the hardest to convince, simply giving Leon this weird look when Leon tells him he can call him for ANYTHING, even if he needs to kill one measly zombie. Chris thinks Leon is taking on this heavy burden because he has powers now and has to protect everyone, which is partially true, but also not the whole truth.

And Leon just let's out this frustrated growl when Chris says he can carry some of Leon's burdens and fight too, and Leon is just like "Listen. I appreciate you trying to be noble and help me out, but honestly? I need to let loose! And this is the safest way for me to do it! Just promise me if shit hits the fan, CALL ME."

So later during Re5, Chris looks down at the phone and at the rapidly deteriorating situation around him, and finally calls Leon. "I'll be there in 10 minutes." Is Leon's quick response before hanging up, and sure enough, ten minutes later the sound of thunder roars over the echo of gunfire.

The infected hostiles that had them surround were now all suddenly encased in giant crystals of ice. Leon was standing in the middle of the chaos, appearing almost out of thin air, transformed and grinning ear from ear. "Sorry if I'm late, North Carolina traffic was bitch!"

He then lifts his arm up, electricity crackling loudly as it swells around him, and then snaps his fingers. The lighting coiled around his body arcs out, striking all the pillars of ice at once, and shatters them into millions of fluttering, twinkling shards.

After the display Sheeva immediately starts smacking Chris's shoulder, angrily yelling "WE HAD THIS MAN ON SPEED-DIAL AND YOU ONLY CALLED HIM NOW?!?!"

Devil Leon AU

So in this AU the DevilMayCry world and the Resident Evil world reside in two different dimensions. The demon that tried to possesses Leon originated from the DMC universe, and somehow managed to traverse dimensions. It resided in Leon's world for almost 2 centuries, slowly gathering power in hopes that it would become strong enough to challenge Sparda himself. (Thankfully Leon unintentionally foiled this plan by just being really stubborn)

After the chaos that happens in DMC5, Dante and Virgil are trapped in Hell, but they've managed to find a way out. Things unfortunately go a little sideways when they try to escape, and while Virgil manages to return to their dimension, Dante accidentally ends up the RE universe.

Of course Dante figures out pretty quickly he's not in Kansas anymore. He isn't quite sure what to do about it at first and after a moment of thinking, he's just like, fuck it! I'm treating this as a vacation!

After all, he just got out of Hell after being trapped there for MONTHS with his emo ass brother. And while he was delighted that Virgil was alive and slightly less evil, he desperately needed a break from his emotional constipated twin.

((This was also a good opportunity for Nero and Virgil to bond by going on an adventure to save poor ol' uncle Dante!))

There was also one little thing Dante wanted to check out in this world, and that was the one singular, yet powerful, demonic energy he could sense residing here. Curious, Dante starts tracking the energy and of course ends up meeting Leon.

The encounter is dramatic to say the least. Leon triggers immediately upon sensing Dante's presence and the two clash. Leon can barely control himself as his instincts are screaming in joy at FINALLY being meet with a challenge. Dante isn't upset in the least either, simply laughing at Leon's excitement considering the guy's acting like an overexcited puppy in terms of Demon behavior.

So Dante and Leon fight for a while and by the end of the demonic spar, Leon is lying flat on the ground, utterly EXHAUSTED, but grinning from ear to ear. Dante is smiling just as hard, surprisingly panting a bit from the fight. Leon was not as strong as him, but the guy still manged to hit pretty hard and pretty fast! It was honestly really fun!

The two of course become fast friends, it's hard not to when both of them share the same shitty sense of humor. Dante's even nice enough to give Leon a bunch of tips and tricks about being a demon and Leon, proving to be the greatest man alive, buys a bunch of pizza for Dante in return.

Devil Leon AU

When Leon wakes up after passing out in the boat in the middle of the lake, he notices that something is off immediately. His hearing had been amplified as he was able to easily pick out the sounds of fluttering leaves and chirping crickets from across the distance shore. His sense of smell was also cranked to the max, and he couldn't help but gag as the rotten smell of Del Lago began to clot inside his nose.

Confused and slightly irritated, Leon simply waves off his new enhanced senses and continues looking for Ashley, but things just keep getting weirder.

No matter how much he runs, he's not getting the least bit tired, in fact he feels REALLY energetic, like he had an endless supply of energy he desperately needs to burn off. He eventually encounters some Ganados and instead of the usual feelings of fear and panic, he instead feels EXCITED.

He dives into the fight without any hesitation, kicking and shooting harder and faster than he's ever done in his life. He can't stop the feral grin the stretches across his face when he sees more Ganados pour into the fray, not caring that he just used the last of his bullets and only has his knife left to depend on. He just simply starts snapping necks and tearing flesh, not noticing the sparks of lightning that are arching off his arms, or the clouds of frost ghosting over his lips

It's not until when the last of his villager falls dead does Leon realize that something is very, very wrong with him. He looks down at the bodies around him before glancing down at his now transformed clawed hands, his fingers tingling as blue sparks flared between them. There are also black scales speckled across his arms like moles, and his teeth felt sharp and jagged like a shark.

Okay! This design I like a lot better!

Now to the AU! I LOVED @devil-may-dante idea of Leon being an artificial demon (Made part demon) so I think I'll go down that route instead of Leon being born part demon.

The one possible way this could happen is that Saddler either accidentally or purposefully, implanted Leon with a demonic parasite, and not a Plaga.

So maybe until his fight with Del Lago, Leon is unknowingly having a battle of wills with a demon over the ownership of his body. The demonic parasite is trying to tempt him into an endless sleep so it can devour his soul, but Leon is like -NOPE, DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT SHIT!- and he inadvertently steamrolls over the demon's own will and shatters it completely.

In the world of demons, to the victor goes the spoils, and Leon is awarded with the Demon's power, and becomes part demon. SLIGHT PROBLEM though, Leon has no idea about any of this happened. It's even more confusing when he wakes up in the boat after passing out, feeling better than ever, only for him to look down into the water and see red glowing eyes reflected back.

((Leon can't control his powers and keeps partially transforming (Red eyes, sharp teeth, plated arms, and claws) throughout the events of RE4. Luis even sticks around this time, bewildered by the symptoms Leon is showing as everyone still thinks Leon's infected by the Plaga at this point. It's not until later, when Leon achieves full Devil-Trigger for the first time does Luis proudly declare that whatever bullshit Leon is going through, it is DEFINITELY NOT Las Plagas!))

((Leon has super regeneration and speed, but I'm not sure what element I want his powers to be? I always like Ice for Leon, but I can see maybe electricity/lightning fitting him here too....hmmmm))

Some more Devil Leon!

After Devil Triggering for the first time, Leon insists Luis look him over. If he's not infected by the Plaga, than it could be something even worse, and Leon wants to make sure he's not going to infect or hurt anyone like this.

Luis does his best, and after examining Leon, he assures the other man that whatever this is, it's not a viral disease or an animalistic parasite. If anything, Luis muses, as he looks at the sparks of lightning and ice emanating from Leon's horns, this might be supernatural in nature.

Leon scoffs at the idea, but Luis points out that Leon had literally created giant pillars of ice and destroyed them into millions of razor sharp pieces with blue bolts of lightning minutes before, something obviously beyond the scope of a mutagenic virus.
