Description: Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin was a Russian mystic and self-proclaimed holy man who befriended the family of Tsar Nicholas II, the last monarch of Russia, and gained considerable influence in late imperial Russia. I have made a portrait of him in my style, adding my signature geometrical shapes to give the design some symmetry and also adding a Russian orthodox cross into the design.
Description: The Satanic Cross was originally the symbol for the brimstone which we today know as sulfur. The association of sulfur with Satanism is rather dated, and has its origins in its use as the symbol for sulfur by European alchemists. It has two overlapping triangles, one meaning fire, and the other water. This is interesting because word Leviathan is sometimes used as a synonym for a big sea monster. So sulfur represents fire and Leviathan a sea (water) creature, so it’s appropriate to put the triangles. I decided to add some octopus tentacles into the design, because – sea monster, that’s why!
Description: Leviathan Cross is also known as Satan’s cross.The Double cross symbolizes protection and balance between persons. The infinity sign means the constant and infinite nature and the eternal universe.. It shows that humans are their own centrum of balance, and truth. In Alchemy, the Leviathan’s cross is a symbol for sulfur, which is one the three essential elements of nature. It is spiritually analogous to the human soul. Alchemically, sulfur has the qualities of masculine, hot and dry. Combined with Mercury (feminine, cool and moist), the pair were considered the parents of all metals. Alchemical drawings often portray Sulfur as the sun.
Description: I was in the mood for creating something dark, scary, occult and black metal inspired. I am inspired by all things dark, grim and macabre. That’s how this Grim came to life… He resembles a hooded grim reaper and has a Leviathan cross on his chest. I also added a couple more skulls and some inverted cross for a more dramatic effect.
