Me, Azazel Al-Khalifa, real Archdemon of the East

:) Self-portrait. Stylization.
In the middle of the night, the idea of such a composition suddenly came up, as if symbolism. Symbolism is, in principle, an integral part of both my creativity and my life, not to mention the fact that invisible (non-physical) worlds are entirely embodied symbolism, which, of course, is present in physical ones, but on a smaller scale. The desert expanses, the Egyptian lands and my palace of the Caliph-al-Qahira, which is in Al-Qahira (Cairo) are three important components of my Khaliphate, the possessions dear to my heart.
I usually work with a brush in SAI called "watercolor", but this drawing is made with a "pencil" brush: I wanted to try an atypical style for me. I liked x) Probably, in the future there will be more works in this style. It took 4-6 hours to work.
