The next page is here: faile35.deviantart.com/art/Boo… .

Somehow, Elina's speechless stumbling has placed her back against the hard wall as the massive figure looms over her, its arms forming a barricade of terrifying power at her sides. Like rivulets of muddy water, thick cords flow down below the creature to fumble at her sandaled feet, wrapping clumsily about her ankles and climbing upward within her dress. "F-from all fear and d-... darkness," she breathes, the Scholarly mantra triggered by her shock itself before being lost in breathlessness, leaving her lips to mouth the remaining few words.
"...the rays of knowledge shall follow rain and cast back cloud," the horror speaks through a mouth of brilliant energy behind a portcullis of vicious teeth. But the words ring in a familiar tone, a voice the Scholar recognizes with a jarring shudder.
"Un... Uncle Anjer?" Her voice is a whisper. As the ropes coil upward, the Scholar stands petrified.
***********************************************
Emily gave me some great photos for this sequence--I've had them to work with for several years now (three? five? six?), and it's very nice to finally get to this scene.
Enjoy!
Note: Bookbinding and Demon's Due are a work of fantasy and fiction. The artist/creator in no way condones real mistreatment of this kind toward any woman or man, by living person, gremlin, plant, assassin, ratman, viscous fluid, programmed device, animated home furnishings, or otherworldly spiritual beings. Furthermore, the artist opposes the marginalizing and restriction of women in general by any institution, political and/or religious, including those which have individual women amongst their membership touting/promoting their own happiness within that institution as evidence that ALL women should feel the same way. This includes the religion I was raised in and which I have utterly discarded from my life over this and other issues.

Elina: I haven't read your secret diary, I totally swear it! Okay, I happened to see the first few pages, but I promise it will go no further...
*Hellbinder's smartphone buzzes, he checks, and the latest tweet is an upload of Jervil's diary from vandermoorman100 which has gone viral*
Elina: Uh...that has absolutely nothing to do with me. I have no idea about how that happened.

Elina:" By the way, 'Chief' is spelled i before e, and it's generally considered a grammatical weakness to end your sentences on a preposition. Just sayin'..."

Very dramatic pic.
I hope Elina doesn't lose too easily. As the only competent hero, she should have one last trick up her sleeve.

Oh, she does have one indeed. A couple, actually.
Thanks!

Hellbinder: "Are you Ladiesman Two One Seven?"
Elina: (Snort & laugh) "Damnit, how many times are we going to have to retake this?"
---Next take---
Hellbinder: "You can't handle the truth!"
Elina: (Sigh.....)

Or, maybe you mean the Batman Forever ending with Jim Carrey's Riddler. I don't know who did that music, but cue it anyway.

First looking at this something seemed off, and I couldn't figure it out. Then it hit me. The anatomy was wrong with the backlight, showing off his teeth. It's scary and all, but I realized that you shouldn't be able to see through at that angle, because the cheeks would block the view.
Then a little voice in the back of my head whispered "For a *human*, yeah....."
Well played.... well played.

Ah, yes. I'm glad you caught that. He's human-oid, but it stops there. Thanks!

It's not just backlight.
"the horror speaks through a mouth of brilliant energy behind a portcullis of vicious teeth"
He's got glowing energy inside his mouth, lighting up his teeth from behind. Pretty weird, but he is a demon, so....

Astounding! The horror has been dialed up several notches here - but I'm relying on Elina to tone it back down with some unintentional nudity.

Thank you! Yes, she might need to do a strip tease to break things up a bit here...

Except for the Anjerome guy that got killed a few pages after he showed up, this is the only big, mean bad guy in the storyline. I'm glad you see it that way.
