I have massive Ivantill/Tillivan brainrot since… the release of Black Sorrow…. Lol…….. anyway here’s some doodles!
Thinking about how angels only take a humanoid form to seem harmless and familiar to humans made me think that it’d be cool if Ivan actually had a “true form” where he’s akin to an eldritch creature (inspired by ‘Paratise’ cover and the theme of- well- parasites). It’d be quite ironic to think of Ivan, a literal angel, seeing his paradise only in Till, a demon.
Also not much development on Till, because I believe that demons are closest to humans for all sorts of reason and well I don’t necessarily want to give him a true form but it could be interesting to think of one, as demons are usually seen a as terrifying creatures that shapeshift to deceive.
These are just sketches but I might work on a more concrete “true form” for Ivan.
ALSO ALSO I like the idea that Ivan would act as a guardian angel to Till, which is really uncommon, and so unless Till focuses really hard on what’s around him he wouldn’t catch on to Ivan immediately. Usually, guardian angels are invisible to everyone and the person they protect after all. Till, if depressed for whatever reason (would be interesting if he remembers his past life in the anakt days) would be numb to almost everything around him and even though he’s a demon that would normally sense an angel’s presence, would not notice until a while.
