forever adjusting keth's designs

keth redesign part 2 — I've decided to go with a more skeletal look and less towering height for keth's chosen form, with an emphasis on him making himself still imposingly tall with prominent fangs but very slight and thin (and there's a whole ton of reasons for that, things he both would and wouldn't admit). I also wanted to resign his true form to be scarier, more nightmarish, and bigger / more threatening that his chosen form. keth is by no means a big scary tough guy, but his true form betrays his demonness and his capability for violence and harm. I also wanted to play more with animal inspirations, going with more of a vaguely feline and/or greyhound look for his chosen form, and some kinda huge fucked up nightmare horse-inspired build for his true form

keth's true form <3 originally a sloth demon, keth learned to shapeshift to be able to engage with humans, with whom he is fascinated. this is why he created his chosen flesh form, which is comparatively much closer to human size and shape, and less frightening. as a trickster and deceiver through and through, even his true form has a mask, and it is unclear whether it is physically part of him or not. if there is anything underneath, no one has ever seen it.

[ID: two digital drawings and two detail crops of the drawings. the first shows keth, a lithe demon with black patchy fur, red skin, and a skeletal face bound in chains. it stands casually, it's all white eyes streaming white smoke. the second shows father eli, a young pudgy priest with light skin and short light hair, who is standing with his back to the viewer while smoking a cigarette, looking mildly annoyed. the detail crops show close ups on each of their faces. end ID]

[ID: a digital drawing and a detail crop depicting father eli, a young priest with light skin and ginger hair, kissing keth, a red skeletal demon with black fur on its head and shoulders. eli is blushing and has his eyes closed while keth's are narrowed, all-white, and streaming white smoke. there is white smoke coming from their mouths as well, and eli is holding onto a heavy iron collar around keth's neck attached to a chain. the background is pink and glowy. end ID]

[image ID: six digital paintings of father eli, a thin young priest with light skin and short strawberry blonde hair, and keth, a demon with red skin and black fur bound in chains and with smoking pouring from its mouth and eyes. the first is of keth standing in the dark, eyes, teeth, and chains the only things clearly visible. the second is of eli in his usual black shirt and clerical collar standing in front of a sunny window in a cobbled wall with his arms crossed, smiling very gently. the third is of eli seen from slightly below as he stands in the dark, sweaty and panting, lit from the right by a red light. the fourth is of eli laying in a bed with white sheets, his head on his arm and his hand reaching cautiously out of frame, wearing no visible clothes. the fifth is of eli standing on a train platform in the amber glow of sunset as a train streaks by, shown from behind in his jacket and wide brim hat, smiling wide. as he looks off to the right. the sixth is of keth again, an animated version of the first painting that is brighter lit, showing keth is crying. the smoke is animated to move. end ID]

[image ID: a two comics and several sketches of father eli, a young thin priest with light skin and hair, keth, a demon, and eddie and venom from venom (2018). before the first comic is a screenshot of a tag that reads “oh so this is venom but for catholics.” in panel 1 of the comic, eli and eddie notice each other standing on crowded subway. in panel 2, venom internally says to eddie: “what is dog collar over there staring at us for? there is something strange about him, eddie. I do not like it.” while keth internally says to eli: “what’s this guy’s problem, padre? do you smell or something?” in panel three, eddie and eli overlap each other as eddie says “be nice, v,” and eli says, “shut up, keth.” the next comic shows eddie and eli standing side by side, with eli reaching into his jacket and eddie unwrapping a chocolate bar as he says, “I’m not much of a church guy.” in the next panel, venom comes out of eddie’s neck to bite the chocolate bar, and eli pulls out a flask as he replies, “neither am I.” the following three images show eddie and eli with swapped outfits, where eli is dressed in a big sweaty hoodie and jeans with his hair messy and a symbiote version of keth emerging from his collar and smiling, and eddie is dressed in a tight black shirt and pants, a clerical collar, eli’s rosary and reliquary necklace, has his hair slicked back, and is holding a bible. end ID]

[image ID: two versions of a redraw of the barbie and ken mugshot meme. on the left is eli, a young thin priest with light skin and short strawbwrry blonde hair, looking serious as he holds up his name plate reading "elias leon." on the right is keth, a very tall demon with dark fur, striated red skin, big sharp teeth and white eyes streaming white smoke, who is smiling wide as he hold up his name plate reading, "and keth." end ID]
