"Prince Beelzebub slipped around the bench. They were dressed in the long robes of a temple priestess (or prostitute, though those were often the same thing in this city), black silks embroidered around the edges in silver. The embroidery looked like the veins in a fly’s wing and the silver that hung from their ears, around their neck and wrists, and crowned their head hung with garnet-eyed flies. Their eyes were ringed with kohl, and their lips were reddened with carmine. They lifted the hem of their robes, revealing a pair of jeweled sandals, laced up to their knees. They climbed onto the bench, settling themselves in Gabriel’s lap, straddling his legs."

I’ve wanted to draw some fic-inspired art for the longest time and let me tell you, choosing which one to do first was the hardest thing, but this in particular is one of my favorite fics ever and I love its author’s depiction of Beelzebub with all my heart and soul.
I’m very well aware that this is definitely not what Babylonian priestesses wore but I had some difficulties in finding good references so I let my imagination run a little wild, I’m very sorry for that.
I hope I’ll be able to do some more, I have a couple of fics in mind and too much free time, but my frequent art blocks can be quite unforgiving;;
