Until I can reliably answer asks again (will still be some time) I will publish posts like the following to work out some thoughts (provocative or stupid) on various SMT topics that catch my interest. Plus, i need to get my writing skills back into shape.

One such stupid thought when Doi's new Glasya-Labolas was revealed was, "Glasya-Labolas is supposed to have the wings of a griffin and SMT already has Gryphon designs: the standalone dude from SMT1 and the one Murmur rides from Soul Hackers; for internal consistency, shouldn't that mean the new Glasya-Labolas should have wings like these pre-existing forms?This is not a good line of thought for various reasons, including:

a griffin is already a hybrid creature, its own wings are just an eagle's wings.

G-L's probably art deco wings are an inspired choice.

Said wings complement the focus of the design: the mask.

The mask captures the essence of the Dictionnaire print's expression in a novel form.

As Doi himself comments: "Glasya-Labolas is said to be a dog-shaped demon with griffon-like wings. He is also depicted as a dog with a unique face in the illustration for Hell's Dictionary. If I designed it normally, it would end up with an evil character similar to the griffon shown in this illustration, so I felt that although it was faithful to the original, it would lack interest. Therefore, we decided to incorporate our own interpretation into the appearance of this work in order to give it some originality." and "Next, regarding the face that was featured in the Hell's Dictionary illustration that I mentioned earlier, I thought about how I could create an interesting design that would take advantage of this unique facial feature.

Many of the demons that appear in Goetia have two sides, and this is true for Glasya-Labolas.It has one side that threatens to kill humans, and another side that is like a teacher who imparts learning. Therefore, in order to express these, I made the face a mask, and by turning it upside down, I was able to express both the eerie face of a devil and the gentle face of a teacher."

So despite my initial negative reaction to the design, it's since won me over and is definitely Doi's best Goetia demon yet. And lastly, "dog with wings" has already been done in smt:

...Even if Marchosias probably has little chance of returning anytime soon. And Even if he did, Glasya-Labolas is quite distinct from him.

So the Qaditsu’s pet attack dog is Glasya-Labolas as VeskScans found out.

This guy is a little freak!!!

Glasya-Labolas was certainly not the first name that entered my mind. It's not terrible, though. I think this sort of ornamentation is fine for the less striking Goetia, especially when it's this art deco bullshit on an organic frame, and it does communicate the really insane expression of the Dictionnaire design.

The 'mask' looks fairly specific, so I'd like to see a source come up in the commentary. I would have gone all in on West Asia or the ancient Near East, if I didn't know better. Bizarre.

oh the demon glasya-labolas has such a clever design in shin megami tensei. they showed the fact he’s supposed to both be a master of science and a bloodthirsty killer by giving him a snarling mask that flips upside down into a wise old mans head! that’s so good!! and look at those nifty patterns too, I don’t know if those are based on anything but they have such a flair.

The demon illustrations in Dictionnaire Infernal are sometimes so adorable it's hilarious. Like:

[betagrove]

Bayonetta 3 is such a mess that it convinced everyone that the Bayonettas played as in 1, 2, and 3 were different people (they're not) bc this is the sort of reveal it does setup for. But there's a throwaway line in Rodin's flavor text buried in menus that confirm that all 3 games take place in the same central universe. So I can't blame anyone for being wrong about it but everyone is wrong about it always

love how regal this form looks she’s literally the queen

[writing-and-rebloging]

Getting into whb after having been obsessed with Magi for a good while is wild. Because sometimes you look at a devil like Sitri, or Andrealphus and it's all fun and games, right? But then. Then you see characters like Leraye, and you get all of the war flashbacks. My head has been consistently like this with every new overlapping devil-djinn I saw, and while I tried to keep it to myself, here's a small, visual representation of what my thought process is like
