But What If She Was A Demon…?

Vergil and the Lady in Red but… what if She was a demon…?

This is Mida - The Gilded Demon, my newest OC! My fellow DMC friend finally kicked my ass in gear and I locked in to post on time for Halloween LMAO

While her full story with Vergil isn’t fully fleshed out yet, here are some notes on her design and other fun facts about her :

(TW: body horror, blood, demonic sacrifices, DMC has an R rating for a reason guys)

She is Mundus’ daughter, in that he took the remains of several dead demons and used his powers to create her

The reason why she is human shaped is because Mundus made it for her. He ordered some of his underlings to bring body parts of dead human women that he can also mold into a passable human form for Mida. Her body is essentially the prototype Trish. Unlike Trish, she is not a demon shaped like a human: she is a demon within a human shaped box

Mundus sends her and a group of half human-half demon hybrids to investigate Fortuna’s worship of Sparda with the eventual goal of converting their worship from Sparda to him as a possible additional fuel to his power and expedite his own return to the mortal realm (which leads to her and Vergil crossing paths)

Her name and some of her visuals come from the Greek myth of King Midas. Midas turned his daughter into a gold statue with a touch of his finger, Mundus gave his own daughter a human shell that cracks easily

Which leads to her primary power of using the demonic gold within her body to either heal the cracks like kintsugi or form weapons

That’s all I have for now! Hope you enjoyed the art and lore!~

Muhrs Power Make Up vs. Mars Star Power, Make Up!

Does anyone want 3D transformations back? :-)

- The beginning of the Crystal Mars Star Power sequence is definitely ‘inspired’ by the 90s anime:

I think it would have been nice if the SMC3 sequence had retained the beginning of the old transformation. Rainbow fingernails would look so good in 2D...

- I like the fire in the old transformation (I even prefer it to the 90s ‘ribbons’), but fire shooting from the transformation pen? Hot damn. Not to mention that I love the deep red color of Mars’ body.

- Here are more proofs of why 2D transformations are superior to (cheap) 3D ones:

The ‘rings of fire’ around her body look more natural in the 2D transformation, while they look like cylinders in the 3D sequence.

The 2D transformation also eliminates the weird camera work of the 3D sequence. Just compare the two gifs of the third row: On the left, the camera slowly moves to her stomach as if trying to zoom to her crotch, then slowly slides down the legs to the feet. On the right, just one swirl of fire and we can see the feet at once.

- Phobos and Deimos with Mars in the final background? How good is that? 

However, no one can deny that the old transformation clearly has much better theme music:

Honestly, why did Crystal only use this music for one - single - episode? I’m sure not many people object to it. Maybe this theme will be back for the (newly confirmed) Dream Arc... or not :(

Sailor Mars’ speech, SMC vs. SMC3:

‘I am Sehlur Muhrs and in the name of Muhrs I will castrate u!’

Seriously, though, why the fuck does Crystal love Sehlur Muhrs’ monster hand so much? I know that the hand is notoriously hard to draw, but that is not an excuse for professionals at the Crystal staff (especially not for the ‘improved’ SMC3). Maybe they should have used a reference:

I also do not like the standing pose in both speeches. The old pose, as @sailorcrystalreactions​ said it best:

Her legs are too far apart

The two legs are not of the same length.

The spine is broken.

(Read the original post here).

On top of that, it also makes the transition to the ‘I will chatise you’ pose really awkward:

The SMC3 pose... It’s due to personal taste than bad execution, but I can’t really point my finger to the reason for my dislike ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. At least the transition to the final pose is natural.

BTW, it wouldn’t be unfair to say that the ‘I will chatise you’ pose in Crystal is based on the 90s anime, would it?
