The squad design
Alright, I've spent sometime design 5 of them. They are kinda of problemetic hight born that's or unwanted that's has been sent to work for chruch. they station in isolated fortress build to protect the vault that containd curse demon lord's artifact.
The first is lovable egomanic hight born that's date the wrong person of very important family. He have to be sent here's or face execution. The execution sentence came after he's recite an hour long speech of self praised.
The second is a bastard son of the duke with a Karti tribe women. He's has been sent to be a chruch soldier to avoid the duke's family embarrassment. On the day he was exile He punch half of his uncle teeth out.
The third is a aloof daughter of the duke. Lost all her title after her family rebel again the king. Her family bloodline rumor to be connect to the long extinct elf so she claimed. Maybe she just short and using bow is her try to rp as elf.
The fourth is mysterious old gentleman who's no one know why he's there in the first place. He's rumor to be the king brother spy master that's know to much of royal back door political deal. After he's retired he's become a risk to royal so he's face either execution or take a vow. he's not confirmed or denied that's claimed.
The last guy is important too. The prince himself. Well the 58 son to be exact. Sent be a paladin for his safety from power game of his 57 sibling.

I love these side by side profiles, it really helps the viewer appreciate the different artistic choices present in each charecter and how they are similar but unique in meaningful ways!
The sexiest corruption stories belongs to those with real character and humanity. You understand this soooo well.
the best thing in life is watch IBenz’s masterpiece
Is the third one wearing glasses? Looks cute if so!
The old man seems like a good story line to follow. I like the background and the idea of the spear as the demon weapon. The girl with elf in the family could be interesting as well, and the bow is different from the other weapon choices being more long range compared to swords or axes.
To be clear, the idea is that each of these "screw-ups" (minus the prince) will eventually be turned – or "reforged", as the case may be :p – into the "weapon demon" that's standing next to each of them in the image?
Great designs but I think having their demoness forms shaded differently for each of them. Could get confusing
Looks promising I like it and it seems like some of my ideas from my comment on the last post gave you some inspiration. hope I helped. i'm looking forward to it.
Love all of them! ^^
Very interesting, but having so many characters could be a bit difficult to manage. In any case, the ones I like the most are the sword demon and the spear demon. I'm very happy about the continuation of Demon Lord, good luck.
@ibenz009 Is the prince the new protagonist/hero? Also, how would Aria get a redesign?
Ooh, good point! We haven't seen or heard from Aria in a while now! Sudden plot idea: The Demon Lord's forces attack the fortress for the artifact, and while the above team of "screw-up" nobles manage to fight them off, everyone but the prince is so badly wounded in the process that it's pretty much a Pyrrhic victory. (With at least one of those mortal wounds being from jumping in the way of a blow that would have felled the prince himself; maybe the old man.) Enter Aria, who's been fighting against the Demon Lord's forces ever since her own forced transformation, as well as plumbing every bit of demonic and transformation-based lore she can find, in the vague (and likely vain) hopes of restoring her old friends back to their human selves. She'd overheard about the upcoming attack and was trying to get there first in order to warn everyone; no such luck, obviously. She can't save the dying team members as they are now, unfortunately, but with their permission, she CAN enact an Emergency Transformation that – while turning their bodies into demons, yes – will actually bind their still-human souls to the prince's, providing all five of them with a measure of protection against the Demon Lord's corruption.
Honestly, I hope that the prince doesn’t become too corrupted and is similar to the white priestess turn shadow demon
