Soul Demon - Speedpaint

READ. THE. DESCRIPTION. It shall answer any magical questions you may have. If it doesn't, feel free to ask. :)
This is a commission from The-Phantom-Ghost
Characters: Amon (dark grey demon tom), Ryo (turquoise tom), and Rin (silver tom (foreground))
Bit of Story: Amon resides inside Ryo, using him as a host. Ryo was being bullied by Rin, and when Rin cut his cheek, Amon decided to take Rin's soul as payback for hurting his host. :D
Whoopee for Soul Stealing! :3 Also, I know people are going to ask: I have no idea what the heck that thing coming out of Ryo's tail is. It was simply part of his design when I drew him. :)
This was awesome and painful to draw. I really wanted to get the shading right, and I hope it looks okay. It was just weird having three light sources, all kind of different colors. ^^; And yes, they are at a school (thus the lockers).
Anyway, hope you like it!

DaCODEster Kitchen Hello :D

[@davidpotts7116]

I swear that every painting you do they begin to look more and more like I could just walk right into the scene. Amazing, River.

[@KaliAvery]

River Spirit I'VE NEVER BEEN SO EARLY IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!! This is super cool!!!!!!!!! I REALLY wish i could draw like you!!!! Do you think you can do a pixlr tutorial?? I used to use it before I got photoshop, but my cousin uses it still, and it would be cool to see one! pixlr.com/editor/ Keep drawing River!!!!!!!!! ;^^ (PS can you teach me how to do animations?? XD)

[@vylona8339]

Holy shit, the shading is amazing in this one! Great Work!

[@skylerhart6772]

That was the best 11 minutes of my life......

[@olivianewsom7312]

Ryo is like "What...what JUST HAPPENED TO HIM?!"

[@flappygon1718]

Wait... Why didn't the monster thing that is Ryo's tail not murder the crap out of Rin?

[@avium746]

i just want to tell you, that over the few months i have been drawing/animtaing, i have learned so much from watching your speedpaints! THANK YOU!

[@mirandarasmussen308]

Amazing this is so incredible! River you did fantastic with the lighting and shading, it looks like it's all in the right spot even though you had about four light sources to work with! Unbelievable, just.... This is beautiful :) and those lockers... Oh my gosh those lockers *o*

[@amazingeight2560]

You would think Ryo wold use his freaky tail if he was being bullied. It has teeth.....

[@viperdoseart2425]

Your Art is So Awesome! I watch it All the Time! you Inspire me So Much!😍😱

[@hoodedassassin8262]

OH MY GOD RIVER SPIRIT I LOVE THIS SPEEDPAINT THIS IS YOUR BEST WORK EVER!!!!! this is my thirtieth time watching it!!!!!!!!!

[@XxKalicoKatxX]

[@thephantomthief672]

:D thank you!

[@XxKalicoKatxX]

Welcome

[@wolves_go_wild9446]

Casual Tuesday at school, you know the usall, taking kids souls n stuff, same as usal finding the dead bodies XD lol

[@Diamond-hl6xv]

Much fab.... Art is always fab.... XD Anyway, I want to say thank you to River! You have been a huge inspiration for me! If it wasn't for you (and a few other artists) I wouldn't be the artist I am today!

[@jordannii6577]

The orb, or soul I should say, is awesome!

[@d1nob0nestv88]

The thing coming out of Ryo's tail is so creepy... Good job, River!

[@snakelover6253]

I am trying so so SO hard to watch this video, but my cat walked all over it so I had to watch it all over again! Gosh dang it, kitty!

[@NylaTheWolf]

BEST DRAWING YOU'VE EVER DONE!!! Is this a show btw?

[@fluffybutter4684]

NylaTheWolf It's an anime.

[@fluffybutter4684]

The speedpaint looks like it's from Parasyte

[@fluffybutter4684]

It is a lot like parasyte.

[@thephantomthief672]

Iv never even seen that show , so please don't go around saying that my characters are a part of it

[@fluffybutter4684]

No im sorry.I just got the wrong idea.But seriosly thats a freaken good anime.

[@jessicaromina1650]

I don´t know why, but Amon reminds me a bit on Rin from Blue Exorcist. Is this only me? Well, Riverspirit nice drawing. I like all your drawings.

[@sleepisntathingiknow1043]

Idk but I'll tell you if he reminds me when I start watching it later on

[@jessicaromina1650]

Alright.

[@kylielackey5000]

That's what I was thinking when she was doing the outlines!

[@jessicaromina1650]

Yeah. He look similar to him.

[@lizzytiki2104]

Same thing happened to me as well

[@jessicajohnson6769]

The eye of the thing coming out of his tail looks like the eye of Pride's shadows in Fullmetal Alchemist. XD Watching the speedpaints gives me a greater appreciation for your art.

[@Dacodemo]

Someone please explain to me the point of trying to be first. I don't get it...

[@veenus2934]

I've seen that tail thing somewhere before...And it annoys me i can't figure out where >.< Good one River,the amount of detail in the shadows and the light are amazing,pat yourself in the back because you deserve it :3

[@camgoldberg3982]

Really loving your more elaborate drawings! Great job as usual, River!

[@sparkle1princess]

Amon doesn't actually reside inside Ryo. He's one of Ryo's many personalities. After being bullied and abused by Rin so horribly for so long, he eventually developed MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder aka Dissociative Identity Disorder). Amon is the brave, strong personality that comes out when he's threatened.

[@thephantomthief672]

XD that's an interesting take on my characters.

[@sparkle1princess]

the phanmtom thief :D

[@lychee9810]

That's kinda sad but that is cool too😌

[@sparkle1princess]

***** To me, what you're describing sounds a lot more like bipolar disorder Read about it here: www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/bipolar-disorder/index.shtml

[@sparkle1princess]

Lord Kamui Idea thief.

[@cozynebula13]

Somehow, no matter who I'm watching, I always find my way back to your amazeballs speedpaints! And I don't know if you get notified if someone tags you in something on DA, but I did the Questionarre thing and a lot of my answers involved you. For example, for the fellow Deviant impacting your life, I said you got me back into drawing. But I'm just rambling at this point.

[@caramelbats1200]

Wow River... this is amazing!!!

[@bloodynick563]

You put so much work into this River, its absolutely amazing! I love it!

[@martianmadwoman]

This is one of your best yet, River! :D

[@okcameron988]

OMG SO AWESOME YOU ARE LIKE THE BEST ARTIST EVER SENPAI

[@jesswizzle]

Reminds me of Soul Eater! Haha :) great job as always River!

[@sabthefab4575]

This is so beautiful,Riv you are amazing!

[@rosemoon1054]

the shading looks great :)

[@kittyinthemoon7121]

I want the talent u have cause this is perfection

[@speedpaintlover2473]

That's one cool tail! That alone would be enough to make me respect Ryo alone; no need for Akira!

[@andyztoyz]

I love everything about this speedpaint.

[@rae3084]

poor Ryo's like-'what did you, just do to Rin!?'

[@sanguinesatellite808]

Akira must be wondering where Amon is. Yes ive watched the Holding Souls speedpaint.

[@cheyenneknotts8342]

I love your drawings so much!!!

[@CherrySpiiced8]

WHOAA this is really coOL O MG

[@Dacodemo]

Awesome job! It reminds me of the anime parasite :)

[@Warrior_of_Symbolica]

I was watching this and suddenky there is this flash of Pentatonix and I was like: SWAG PERCENTAGE OF RIVER JUST FLEW THROUGH ROOF

[@serendipiti7470]

[@17shadowsofthepast35]

I have to be honest right now. I have always been amazed by the way you handle such fine lines and the coloring. It is so inspiring (and yes, I know this is a bit of an old video)

[@warriorcatsnerd1940]

Ryo looks so innocent and Amon looks like a rebel, lol

[@northernhearts16]

love your style!

[@zolacooley]

Seriously this reminds me of my fav anime Soul Eater.

[@raksha904]

Ryo's pelt looks like a peacock's and it looks soo cool!!

[@thephantomthief672]

[@fruitysea]

[@agobsession345]

[@nights_the_nightingale]

[@maggpie_3943]

[@uselessbaguette8499]

+Kylo Ren That's the best question ever. I literally was wondering the same thing... wait... CAN YOU READ MEH MIND?!!?!?!

[@meepimation776]

READ. THE. DESCRIPTION. It shall answer any magical questions you may have.

[@x.the_masked_wolf.x5281]

sooo cool i love it

[@cafaeovo4774]

i saw the title then i was like " SOUL EATER MAYBE?!" Then i saw it wasn't... cries

[@bethjohansson682]

Who in there right mind would dislike this

[@adelecatstorm207]

I like the name... Amon. An actual demons name. Though, it's a shame the character didn't portray the real form. Although, you are very talented, River and I hope to see more

[@jaeheekang3953]

The demon Tom thing. Looks so much like me character...

[@iamkah4789]

wooooooooooooooooow. this is amazing River Spirit!! so do you take request here on youtube or what?

[@TheQueenofNeckbeards]

hey if they're at school how come no teacher notices "oh looks like this guy just stole someone's soul" XD

[@blueflame318]

+TacoNoob Gamer yeah and there would probably be a cat teacher...

[@TheZincMaster-on1fy]

I think the school is either abanded or it's summer.

[@zvoid_error000]

WOAH! AWESOME!

[@natelolololol1092]

This kinda reminds me of Soul Eater. ;D

[@cas-uz9hl]

You are amazing

[@rawrrawryay9323]

Amon is handsome :O. That is what I am only going to say. He is a heck of a cute guy. Too bad he is a soul ;-;

[@honeytears712]

OMG AMAZING! OwO

[@mayacrolene4226]

The thing in the background looks like a venues fly trap.... But good job

[@HippyDipps]

is it just me or does the dead cat look most realistic in here? heres a tip river! for line art try to then go to the layer options select luminance to transparency then on the line art layer preserve opacity it should allow you to colour the line art get the darkest shading colour and make it darker and colour the line art with that shade to make it give of a disney appearance! :)

[@phantomcat8794]

I'm speech less, in a goo way, do you think you can do more of this Speedpaint?

[@papillon1380]

;o blue exorcist

[@stephaniefontes2508]

River spirit you so good😊

[@plutossky7534]

Hey at least Ryo has a good security system

[@nights_the_nightingale]

AHA! Proof that cats are demons!

[@RhiannaSC]

Omg, were you watching the Supernatural Parody by The Hillywood Show? That one's awesome >=°=

[@riitaako]

aww i'm feeling like i can never draw like this even when i'm trying so hard :(

[@starblazedragon8875]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ShimmerLpsTv]

AFTERLIFE

[@veyarain82]

Something tells me Ryo's gonna get in trouble for this. (Ryo in the principle's office) Principle: Now Ryo, I don't care that Rin was bullying you. What have I told you about stealing cats' souls? Ryo: But sir, it wasn't me! Rin cut my cheek and then this soul demon who's using me as a host just up and- Principle: Don't pin the blame some soul demon. Just own up to it and the punishment will be far less severe. Now I'll ask again: what have I told you about stealing cats' souls?

[@angelashu07]

Awesome!

[@davidpotts7116]

Oh. You're actually the first comment. Then I'm second.

[@aod716]
