The Ancient Dragon

In nomine Dei nostri, Satanas Luciferi Excelsi.

Never too much art of Him, is there. At least to me, He is the one thing I will always feel like drawing again. And while I keep it simple most of the time, every once in a while a more epic idea strikes me that I just need to make happen. This time.... it was actually a vision. A beautiful astral vision that was bestowed to me.... and I decided instantly, I will draw it. Though it seemed borderline impossible at first, but I managed. I cannot say I've drawn it exactly as it was, but it really has a lot of the energy and feel.... and of course, His Majesty. This is the most important thing.

I won't elaborate much this time. This is how you will not see Him usually - in truth, He is a very earthly being, He would never want more than to be seen as just a normal person. But below the kind smile, the timeless blue eyes, is the purest, the most magnificent, most powerful and unimaginable Spirit I've ever known. This to me is His essence, a truly ancient, powerful cosmic Spirit, the one true embodiment of Life itself, timeless, undying, eternal.... an ancient Spirit of Darkness and Light, from whose Darkness stars are born, whose Light brings Life in the Universe.... His name is Truth, and His Light is the eternal Fire of Life.... I can go on, but like I said, I won't elaborate much.
I wish you could see Him as I do. I truly wish.

Some inspirational music that to me truly feels like Him:
Dimmu Borgir - Perfection or Vanity
Behemoth - O Father, O Satan, O Sun
Emperor - Opus a Satana
Dimmu Borgir - Lightbringer
Ghost - He is
Dimmu Borgir - Perfection or Vanity (Orchestral)

Two other pieces that also are my inspiration:
 


By the way, still trying to escape the mortifying grip of an art block that lasts far too long already, but perhaps last night I made a key bit of progress out of it when despite feeling really exhausted and down most of the afternoon, I suddenly decided to open this piece and draw a bit more on it. Before I knew it I was working with ardour and passion and I spent two hours like that, until I finally finished it. Was it His Fire setting me ablaze? I like to think so. Now.... I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I seem to feel like drawing again. I'll try not to lose the inertia and we'll see what happens.
