Liljakukko by Hymy

Not really a rooster but it will do.

(Not really a human but I will do.)

Still playing around with this style (though I prefer my regular drawing style but change is nice once in a while) and I finally got around finishing this. I originally sketched this probably in... January? Geez, I'm so slow sometimes but better late than never. ´u`''

Anyhow, for those who wonder, "liljakukko" is the Finnish name for Scarlet lily beetle which's rough translation would be something like "rooster of lily". I really adore those little critters for some reason so of course I had to try painting one quickly in connection with something and came up with that silly little phrase above because of the odd Finnish name (and the fact that Azazel isn't exactly completely human - a nephilim/nefili actually ah the joys of modern fantasy rp). Agh I'm not very good at explaining stuff but yeahhhh. Beetles are nice and so is symbolism etc :,>

    I have to say with every piece you upload I love your artworke more, it's just so beautiful and has such a special atmosphere! I especially love the composition of this one, the light colour of the skin in front of the strong colours of the beetle make a very nice contrast.

    Oh and Lilijakukko is a very lovely word, makes me want to learn finish!
