The gorgeous Coney refers to herself as a genius theft, but she's really just a sly witch who uses her magical knowledge to aid in her criminal endeavors. Most notably the ability dubbed the Grimalkin Stare, a very powerful form of mind control done through the eyes, which also seems to be a rare Nekojin-only trait. But Coney is also very voluptuous and extremely curvaceous, along with a likeable persona, so she only uses the Grimalkin Stare when those assets can't get her what she wants. Not as ruthless as some of her fellow villains, Coney is still rather selfish and greedy, something that has gotten her in trouble plenty of times, even though she'd never admit to it.

Crimson is a powerful and feared human mercenary, and the most battle capable of a team of two other guns for hire known as the Tiga-Terrible. All three bloodthirsty warriors are infamous for augmenting particular parts of their human bodies with those of some very unfortunate demons. With Crimson, he replaced his arms with those of a demonic beetle beast, giving him incredible Herculean strength and magnifying his already nightmarish skills with a samurai style blade. Crimson is a very arrogant and heartless individual, who when not on the battlefield, enjoys the lustful company of woman. However he's anything but a gentleman, and is rough with his ladies to say the least.

But with what little sincere feelings he does possess, Crimson likes his unofficial main gal Coney as both a excellent partner in crime and as an even more amazing lover. Coney thinks similar of Crimson (especially on the latter), but is still apprehensive around him, knowing how scary and cruel he can become when fighting. Many doubt their relationship will last for long, but until then, feel sorry for those who become targets of their allied villainy.

***********

The creative histories behind these two characters should be shared outside the 'in-universe' synopsis: Crimson, along with the other two in the Tiga-Terrible, are actually creations of my friend Jesse Alonso, who I've done lots of character designs for. However, Nira is my concept, and like H.P. Lovecraft's mythology, I would like Nira to be open to other writers and artist to submit creative contributions (though unlike Lovecraft, I'd have it stopped after I'm dead). The shirtless Crimson seen above is not his true design, but merely the character at leisure; I have yet to design his battle armor or other looks to this beetle-armed mercenary.

As for Coney (who's also not dressed in the norm), she was originally created for several abandoned adult projects I was to do in the late 1990's, with "Overtly Sexy Hospital" being among them. Her original (and very stupid) name was the pun-obvious Siliconey, and was an anthropomorphic cat version of Pamela Anderson in the design's inspiration. Story wise, she was going to be some sort of genetically engineered being who hooks up with a very willing human acquaintance.

A stand alone illustration featuring this version of the character can be found here...and boy, does she have back-problems:

Here, it is emulated by Demonica Lazdry, a sultry but heroic succubus from my various Nira-based fantasy stories.

I plan to do more such illustrations with my characters in homages to classic art works, but for now you can read more about the source inspiration at good old Wikipedia.

As for miss Demonica herself, because she is one of my older creations, her back-story has been revised several times up until recently, and you will be seeing more of her in the character's regular form in the (hopefully) near future. Until then, you can visit this outdated article at my old Elfwood site.

Despite her human height and appearance, Gertrude is actually a half-giant, with her unknown father being pure human, while her mother was the infamous giantess bandit Plum Rock-Vest. And like her mother, Gertrude has willingly entered a life of crime, serving as the leader of the Beautiful Bomber Squad.

The Beautiful Bomber Squad is a group of sexy and seductive young women who are also soldiers of fortune, and deadly experts with explosives. The Squad's most famous and often used weapons, beyond their stunning good looks and charms, are specially made handheld cannons, that can shoot concentrated balls of lighting. This overkill of weaponry, used for almost any mission the gals are paid to do (even the simple baby-sitting gigs), reflects the never-say-die insanity of Gertrude herself, which obviously comes from her mother's side.

*******

Even more unlikely, for being the lovely leader of such beautiful rouges, Gertrude is on the rather chubby side. But as some of her still living ex-boyfriends will wholeheartedly admit, 'she has meat in all the right places'!

Of course, many of Gertrude's OTHER lovers aren't alive to confirm that statement, as they had a price on their handsome heads. But at least we know they had themselves one final night of happiness with the gorgeous, yet deceptive mercenary, before she chucked a fetal grenade into their beds the following morning (hence one of the pictures shown above).

*******

Although the roster of the Beautiful Bomber Squad changes periodically, sometime due to death, but usually because the girl in question wants to pursue a less destructive, low-stress career, Gertrude plans to stay with the Squad for a very long time to come, even if she has to change her title to "The Grenade Grandmother".

Recently, Gertrude and the current Bomber Squad members have come under the long term employment of Lord Malakite; an ambitious sorcerer and scientist who seeks the total domination of Nira, for ultimately good reasons, but through otherwise ruthless, and brutal means. The Grenade Princess' tenacious band of cannon carrying ladies have become a welcomed addition to Malakite's already fearsome, and still growing, legions.

The name pretty much explains itself, as it's new holiday created by fellow DeviantART artist, and master of gigantically top-heavy (huge boobs) anime babes

(AKA The English Gent).

Wait...what's that? May 4th is already the chosen date for the "Star Wars" centric holiday May the Force?

GOD(zilla) DAMN IT!!!!!!!

Screw it! I love sexy demon ladies just a tad more than "Star Wars", and unless The English Gent changes the date for his unofficial holiday in the future, May the 4th will be an excuse for me to do devilish cheesecake art from now on! So take that overwhelming nerd majority, who will probably never read this comical jab in the first place, and accuse me of complete ignorance of May the Force through their own ignorance!

And what better way to celebrate and contribute to Demon Girl Appreciation Day than to revisit one of my oldest heroines, 'The Soulful Succubus' herself, Demonica Lazdry!

***********

Demonica Lazdry (LAZ-Dree) hails from the world of Nira, which is an alternate version of our own Earth, where the monsters of myth and legend are real species living alongside humans, for better and for worse.

Yes, Nira is my own obligatory fantasy world, not unlike the ones found in most book series, or role playing games (RPG). But I'm quite proud of the work I put into it, using my knowledge of mythical monsters, zoology, obscure real-world history, and my own offbeat quirks to help shape it. And hopefully, I can finally get the time to do some finished comics that take place within Nira, despite there being a three-issue long past attempt, that desperately needs reworking.

Now it has been centuries since the Niran equivalent of the tragedy laden and blood soaked Dark Ages. And as such, the various Demon Races of Nira, who were once among the greatest offenders of this terrible age, have since evolved into calmer beings of freewill, with overall species stability.

True, there are still demonic villains and factions in Nira's modern time, along with the basic sinful nature of Niran Demons in general. But as a whole, they've improved since The Dark Ages, and have begun to peacefully interact with civilizations beyond their (literally) underground city states.

And among the truly decent demons to attempt full on integration, is the sultry succubus Demonica Lazdry. She's one of several daughters of the infamous demon warlord Demongaus Spine-Ripper, but was outcast along with her mother Demonia Spine-Ripper, after the latter caused a very minor mistake, during one of her husband's military campaigns. And was unfairly punished, just to be used as an example to Demongaus' other 'general wives'.

Demonia and then toddler Demoinca later found refuge with a sympathetic human pastor named Christopher Lazdry, who quickly became a close, dear friend to both. And as Demoinca's last name makes apparent, Christopher later became her beloved step-father, when Demonia decided to accept and marry the human pastor. Hence the rosary seen around Demonica's neck, which was a memento from her parents.

Both Demonica Lazdry's beloved mother and step-father, as well as her hated original father, have long since left this mortal plain. And Demonica, despite her stunning young looks, is well into her eighties by human standards, having lived a long life across Nira's Western Realms. Although she prefers to keep most of her personal history private, even with her closest of friends. However, its hinted that Demonica has been married more than once, but again, she's not admitting any such matters.

***********

These days, Demonica Lazdry is the oldest member of a VERY small band of rebels, who seek to end a prolonged war between The Harpy Empire, and human populated Manoroth Kingdoms, which is slowly consuming the rest of Nira with its yearly escalation.

This nameless band is led by the goodhearted half-giant Phil Amazah, and the far less pleasant, banished harpy princess Tiq Alleo. And includes the Changeling con artist Jason Koppe, the shockingly violent child warrior Tregandric of the Greenmen, and the heroic vampire ninja Catherine H.

In this group, Demonica serves as the both sorceress and motherly elder, even though she can't really keep her Succubus tendencies completely in check. And tries her hardest not to lust after all her younger, and unavoidably attractive cohorts.

Thankfully, both Niran Succubi and their male counterparts Incubi (as in Incubus) no longer need life-force energy to sustain themselves. Instead living off on more lasting sexual energies, as well as regular food in between such enjoyable sessions. But again, it still puts Demonica in a very awkward situation with her teammates, made all the more complicated by her specie's natural bisexualism.

To make up for this shortcoming, Demonica Lazdry will sometimes makes money on the side as a 'freelance escort', while in towns or cities that she and her team have to stay within, for long periods of time. And being quite good at...what she does...Demonica keeps the group financially secured and comfortable.

Again, the poor succubus can't help herself, but can be a surprisingly wholesome when such urges are not too overwhelming, which isn't as often as one would think. Lust not withstanding, Demonica has grown a small, but sincere crush for her leader Phil, and have become maternally protective of both Tregandric and Catherine. She get's along with Tiq and Jason well enough, even if she doesn't have too much faith in their ultimate loyalty to the team.

***********

Although Demonica Lazdry knows a good number of offensive spells, she prefers to relay more on her hand-to-hand combat skills first and foremost. And is pretty good with a sword, whenever she can get her feminine claws on one. But when the situation becomes dire, and against overwhelming enemies and odds, Demonica can assume a far more monstrous form for extreme combat, as shown on the left side of the above picture.

This is a common trait with most unassuming demons similar to Demonica. And since Succubi are closely related to humans, they're secondary 'Dire States' are not unlike that of tall, powerfully built primates, or monkey-like beasts. The Dire State is indeed fearsome, and nearly unstoppable, but thankfully Demonica still has an awareness of her surroundings. And will never harm her comrades or innocent bystanders during her temporary transformations; she's had a little under eighty years to practice such self-control!

***********

I plan to do more colored sketches of my various Nira-based creations in the near future. The low-tech nature of Nira and its people lends itself better to such sketchy execution, than my original science fiction-oriented characters do. And with that said, hopefully I'll have more Demonica Lazdry tidbits to share, even if it's just more fan service.

With that said, you'll probably be seeing Jason Koppe as the next Nira installment, as his sketch is already drawn, scanned, and awaiting digital coloring. In the meantime, here an older picture featuring the Nira heroes, along with other older Demonica pieces:

Although I still have a soft spot for many of the older illustrations featured in this collage, all were done with inferior means and through equally weak execution. Including not rendering them at a professional printing size of 300-DPI (3400 pixels in height), and me NOT saving the original Photoshop files, and only as scaled down JPEGs.

So these pictures are more-or-less lost, though I could easily re-do or update any of them if push ever came to shove. The related characters, on the other hand, are all still with me in some form or other, and here's a quick rundown of who's who.

Starting from the Top Row, Left-To-Right, and Working Our Way Downwards

************

"Scruffy the Pirate Girl" (2007)

Some random pirate woman of whom I made for no particular reason, outside that of simple eye-candy. Maybe Scruffy hunts sea serpents for a living or something? The name Scruffy however does reflect her battle scars, and here is a daytime and nighttime version of the same piece. Admittedly, the latter version does comes off like a 'day-for-night' scene from some 1970's B-movie.

My, it's very BLUE out tonight, isn't it?

"TV Head Boss Man" (2008)

An insane television producer from Earth, transformed into an equally insane cyborg villain thanks to some aliens who totally lacked hindsight and common sense.

suggested that I do a newer, improved illustration of TV Head Boss Man, but until I can complete such a picture, the older version will be featured here.

"Grey the Nightmare Tyrant" (2009)

This picture was done by my brother

(Gonzo), although the actual character itself is still all my doing. Grey is a Boogeyman from another dimension who has viciously taken a position of extreme authority over his own people, and now seeks the conquest of our human world as well.

"Flea-Bitten Sisters" (2007 I think?)

Cover for a three-issue comic that I inked and lettered, but never published to this day. Several friends suggested that I should just color the existing inks, and upload it for web distribution, while I myself is equally tempted to re-draw it all, and alter the original story in turn.

The title protagonists are two anthropomorphic cat sisters (Nikojins), named Kate Marnita (the crimson haired one) and Tabitha Marnita (the blue haired one), who start off as teenage peasants, but over the course of the series, evolve into full-blown fantasy heroines. Joining them on their journeys is their surrogate human mother Jessica Raymond (the blond), and her own child Joey Raymond.

The monstrous giant behind the four leads is Jakku the Ironclad Ogre, and whose outfit is adorned with Japanese language war banners. And yes, there are Kaiju Eiga references in each one.

"Countess Bustina" (2008)

The not-so-good precursor to the buxom, sex-crazed vampire's 2012 illustration, which can be viewed here:

"Phil and His Questing Crew" (2004 / 2006 I think?)

A group of characters from the same fantasy world where "Flea-Bitten Sisters" also takes place, and my own little crew of RPG-style quest adventurers. Seen here, the six heroes are enjoying some leisure time, and posing in a group shot together.

The red-headed Half-Giant leader with an eye-patch is Phil Amazah; the young harpy girl and second-in-command is Princess Tiq Alleo; the sexy succubus and resident spell caster in Demonica Lazdry; the blond girl and secret vampire assassin is named Catherine H.; the green-skinned elf child and surprisingly brutal fighter is Tregandric; and lastly is the cunning Changeling thief and all-around scoundrel Jason Koppe.

"Lone Selenite on The Moon's Surface" (Year Unknown)

My version of the Selenites; insect-like aliens from H.G. Wells' 1901 novel "First Men In the Moon".

"Zonette in the Mountains" (2004 / 2006?)

Zonette is a Cambion, the hybrid child of a Human and a Succubus, and is generally a shy book worm who lives and works in the massive Itassion Library, which is basically a whole city comprised of historians and similar people of written knowledge, along with their extensive records. But when Zonette decides to cleans up, she really cleans up!

"Argus Panoptes" (2000)

My more alien version of the multi-eyed giant from Greek mythology: [link]

"Alliz the Giant Cilophyte" (1999)

A Cilophyte or Cecaelia, are Mermaid-like human-octopus hybrids, and fairly recent contributions to modern fiction and mythology. Of course I didn't know this at all way back in 1999, and just referred to Alliz as a 'Sea Giantess' or an 'Octo-Mermaid'.

Total ignorance was true bliss then.

Now look at me! A nerd with a 975-page long (and growing) list of monster names that I'm still constantly updating even as we speak! Damn you geek culture and the Internet...DAMN YOU!!!

Getting back on track - Alliz is indeed a tentacled giantess with a somewhat aloof attitude, but is ultimately a friend to humanity. And occasionally battles against evil giant monsters who would do us humans harm. Alliz was for a brief time, one of my most popular original characters, and might revisit her, if the demand here is high enough. ]]>

At first believed to be some light-weight golem, Slicksters are actually artificially created beings who are more related to plants then machine, like some strange take on the Homunculus concept. They are the leading soldier force within the terrible Enshohma Submission, an evil organization that wants to control Nira and is comprised of scum and villainy from all over the map (and of course, where my namesake originated from).

The exact origins and process of creating a Slickster is totally unknown, though this has less to do with some shocking secret, then just common sense security on the Submission's part. But they always come in large numbers, are as flexible and as agile as Chinese acrobats, are swift in their attacks, and possess a mad cruelty that makes them truly despicable. In addition, their bodies are as strong, and hence as difficult to break as old-time hot water bottles, and are masters in improvised combat, using any weapon that they can get a hold of and using it deadly well, even in the wrongest of ways.

In their own right, Slicksters are smart and need to be for their trademark quickness, but can only repeat the words "What" and "Nay" over and over again, generally in that order. Slicksters are evenly matched for any one who gets in their way, but they do have difficulty with Harpies and the Tengu due to their similar speed and, at least for the Tengu race, similar madness in battle. And when enemies are too tough, some of the more talented Slicksters can don and operate steam-powered armored suits to combat these particular threats, though it does hinder their speed.

As mentioned before, Slicksters are a variation on the Homunculus myth, but they are perhaps more inspired by the 'Faceless Minions' or cannon-fodder one would find in most Japanese superhero shows, most notably Toei's Super Sentai franchise and it's US relation / spin-off Power Rangers. ]]>
At first believed to be some light-weight golem, Slicksters are actually artificially created beings who are more related to plants then machine, like some strange take on the Homunculus concept. They are the leading soldier force within the terrible Enshohma Submission, an evil organization that wants to control Nira and is comprised of scum and villainy from all over the map (and of course, where my namesake originated from).

The exact origins and process of creating a Slickster is totally unknown, though this has less to do with some shocking secret, then just common sense security on the Submission's part. But they always come in large numbers, are as flexible and as agile as Chinese acrobats, are swift in their attacks, and possess a mad cruelty that makes them truly despicable. In addition, their bodies are as strong, and hence as difficult to break as old-time hot water bottles, and are masters in improvised combat, using any weapon that they can get a hold of and using it deadly well, even in the wrongest of ways.

In their own right, Slicksters are smart and need to be for their trademark quickness, but can only repeat the words "What" and "Nay" over and over again, generally in that order.

Oddly enough, the original inspiration for Miki came from classical paintings which depict the legendary meeting between the Greek hero Oedipus and the Sphinx, which to me looks less like enemies trying to kill one another, then it is of two friends or even on-again/off-again lovers getting together.

See the bottom of this Wikipedia page for some examples: [link]

Hence the more pleasant monster lady presented above, though Miki still tends to creep some people out with her thrity-five-foot height and carnivorous, Big Cat eating habits...well, minus the 'vore' fans.

As for the design, she is obviously more Egyptian then Greek in appearance, but I also threw in some Aztec elements to her regalia. This newer illustration is also a remake of an older one presented in the following link, which also has some seriously out-of-date info:

The part about Miki being a bit selfish with a teenage attitude is still true, but again I really don't know what to do with the girl.

More impressive, even compared to my versions of Miki, is this beautiful piece done by fellow DeviatArt member and wonderful long-time acquaintance Oddensesantly, from our days at CMAX (Character Monthly Art Exchange). Check it out, as she certainly did a far better job with the pyramids an overall background then what's seen above:

Living during Nira's Dark Ages, she was the last of the original Nosferatu-style vampires, who founded the Shadow Sun Empire; a vast vampire tyranny which gathered and fed upon humans, while every other Niran race that were either immune or barely effected by vampirism, was enslaved or destroyed. Though to be fair, a strong majority of fellow vampires also suffered by the Shadow Sun, for not wanting to join in their atrocities.

One of the keys to the Shadow Sun's success was the creation of specialize, chemically created glass which filtered out harmful rays of sunlight, which in additional to full-body protective armor, allowed Vodus's troops to commit their attacks in the day time. Even the Capital of Shadow Sun was protected in a massive dome of such glass. Vodus also helped in the creation of magical battle swords which sucked blood from it victim at an alarming rate, then transferring the liquid strait into its vampire holder. This made for the Shadow Sun troops to gain extra strength and endurance during warfare, but the swords were difficult to construct in the first place and could leave nasty, even permanent injures to the holders hands if removed during the blood taking process. Hence these swords were limited in use and numbers, despite that fact that Vodus herself was a master with the weapons and carried at least two with her at all times.

Personality and character wise, Vodus shares a bit in common with the real life serial murderer and infamous 'Blood Countess' Elizabeth Báthory...but where that person was old world royalty who murdered innocent peasant women and only came to justice, if not stupidly so, after killing several of the upper-class, Vodus was very much a warrior tyrant and didn't hesitate to fed on anyone or anything, even her own subordinates if the need arise. And she was a more cold-minded master strategist who never had any true love interests or close relationships.

Queen Vodus and her Shadow Sun's rule over most of Nira lasted for hundred of years until four major and devastating events in a roll ended the Empire; first was the sudden and surprise assassination of Vodus herself by a still unknown party. Second came the civil war within Vodus's own military for who was to take control in her absence, which ultimately lead to the fall of the capital. Followed by the spectacular arrival of the demon races, which at that time were not the benign beings like Demonica Lazdry of future days, but a nasty lot of vengeful conquerors who used Vodus's death and the chaos born from it to attack the remaining Shadow Sun forces. And last and most pathetic was the exodus of Shadow Sun to the Antarctica regions of Nira, which was also the last refuge of the Giants. Not wanting to share the isolated wasteland with the bloodsuckers, the Giants showed even greater cruelty in wiping them out.

The Shadow Sun remains a dark chapter in Nira history, and a terrible shame that more peace minded modern Niran vampires still have to deal with. ]]>
