Leviathan- The Sixth Prince of Hell

The Sixth prince of Hell, Leviathan, the coiled one.
Imprisoned by God itself, his desire to be as great as angels and demons lead him to scape from time to time to eat the moon. But yet, desiring more, he became a prince and his mouth became the gates of hell itself. But yet, he wants more.
Leviathan is the demon of envy, and envy is the desire of others superior qualities, achievements, or possessions, and trying to represent that into a creature its not an easy task, but I didnt wanted to just make a big snake or sea monster.

Then I found that while in jewish folklore leviathan is a mere monster, in christian demonlogy, his work is to be the Hellmouth, the entrance of hell, and an idea came to me.

His design could be considered the one of a Lamia, with the only detail that his torso is in fact coming out of the snake mouth.

Making emphasis in the idea of the hellmouth, I added first a fire like tattoo decorating the human part as it comes from the snake mouth, and also, the human head breaths hellfire.

The horns are supposed to resemble snake fangs, and the whole look is suppossed to look depressed and kinda angry, as in someone who is never satisfied with himself, always looking out for others and their possssions, and always plotting how to make them his

Added a rattle, cuz for me, if it has no rattle, its not a good snake
