For more information on the entire series, read the "'Demon's Due' Defined" journal entry here faile35.deviantart.com/journal⦠or the "'Demon's Due' Plus" journal entry here faile35.deviantart.com/journal⦠.***********************************************
Elina feels the bonds tightening around her limbs under the gremlin's willful gesturing. The gag tightens, too, pulling into the corners of her mouth and cinching up about the base of her neck to pry her teeth apart and corral her tongue. Flinching and wincing in discomfort, the Scholar tries to ignore the cold hands that keep her in place while her diminutive captor completes the work of binding her fast.
"At long last," the gremlin says in a conclusive tone, "I have decided on a viewpoint as is written in one of your Scholarly philosophies. 'It is better to learn what you are by living than to spend life asking why it is so.' Since my identity has remained hidden and denied to me this long, I will accept that it will remain thus for the duration of my existence here, and be what it is in me to be."
Through her panic and growing rage, the Scholar hears the words and recognizes the philosophy being misquoted by the mysterious villain, but all she can do is glare hatefully as the creature falls silent. She is completely in the thing's power now, and quiet defiance is the only weapon she has left. Shivering, Elina realizes it will not be enough...
***********************************************
Trying to crank these out as fast as possible, so I'm slipping on responding to the comments for a few more days. I hope folks are enjoying this section. It's been a long time in getting here, and I'm having a lot of fun with it.
It's about time that we saw someone actually try to speak with our villain, as cryptic and evasive as the little sucker is... 
The character of Elina is based upon the references and stock model imagery provided by Emily at Feathered-pics If you like what you see, please let her know. Thanks a bunch, Emily! 
Enjoy!

Great drawings! It seems the bondage technique debate has begun. Looks good to me!

Having watched these series for a year or so....I have to ask...do they ever proceed further? I understand that certain content cannot be posted on DA...but it seems a shame to setup the scenario half a dozen times and never see the aftermath.

With a couple of the scenes thus far I've pulled a sexual punch, blocked out some more blatant nudity, and so forth. There will be one scene coming up that will communicate more or less what you're referring to, although it will be rendered in a fairly vague way so as to suggest what is going on. You'll know it when you see it, though. Other than that, the story's not really about overt sexual congress as much as it is about desire and restraint, so it focuses on the latter two instead of the former.

I was hoping we'd get to see her actually tied up after you teased us all mentioning the knots

What is interesting about at least some of the female victims you place in the images is they feel believable. For the most part I wouldn't call them hyper-sexualized. By that I mean, the female fighter in Rats In The Cellar looks completely normal. Not drawn like a Hyborian-era warrioress from a Frazetta painting, but rather looks like the girl that would go to the convention wearing the costume. That it not a slam at your style, it means you have this realistic girl next door subject that's placed into a fantastic situation.

There are a few exaggerations in most of the drawn females, certainly. A real woman moves, talks, acts, feels, and smells like a woman, while the females I draw ONLY have looks to communicate their gender. So those looks get exaggerated a bit. But "a bit" is enough for me, and much more than that starts to feel like "too much," to me. Thanks for the comment and compliment!

OOoooh, very nice! She's so close to edging out Valerin as my favorite

Awesome to hear! If she does pass up Val, then I'll have to work extra hard on the Rats revision so Valerin can reclaim the lead...

I'm surprised she hasn't fallen asleep. I always fall asleep listening to philosophical lectures.

Badass work here. Your pencil shading is amazing.

Thank you! Pencil shading only gets me about 2/3 of the way. Digital airbrushing adds quite a bit.

Very very nice image. Surprised but pleased to see bare feet!

~vvvan suggested it a few pages back, and it seemed to fit, so I sharpened up my "barefoot" skills...

Cool! Intense was definitely part of the overall plan.

Elina (thinking): That isn't philosophy, you just ripped that off from the tagline of the latest schlockbuster, you little hackney!
Nice blocking of the poses here, and I'll agree with the using of quiet defiance

Thank you! And, what can I say? That Gladius Gremlin is a real sucker for derivative indy wannabe films! He's starred in a few himself--self-directed, of course...

Elina is angry
I love the pose
But ! Elina should be happy, the gremlin leaves him his glasses xD

At least she'll be able to see the horrific things that are done to her...

Yes, yes i am totally with Elina and her choice of the "quite defiance" weapon. Its way much better then the "cold-shoulder" body nuke or the "stare into the ground" mind concussive ray for escaping the clutches of her evil abductors.

Wow, great expressions here, I love the poses.

Thank you! This was a fun one for many reasons, poses among them. She was a LOT of fun to shade.

Yes, I think quiet defiance will do the trick. Someone should have told the other heroines that all they had to do was give the baddies a reproachful glance or two, and that would have fixed everything!
Looks great, even if we can see up Elina's nostrils into her brain!

Stunning! Very much enjoying the helpless defiance and hateful glaring...

Awesome! Thank you for the compliment.

Yay, she finally gets tied up! Admittedly, it's not the magic rope from earlier, but magicked torn robes acting as ropes makes for a suitable replacement.

Really great drawing, but Viator-Defessus request seems legitimate to me too 
^^
Great works, really much fun to read the story and, specially, look at the drawing ^^

Point taken. Duly noted.

Nah nah nah. You're supposed to tie the legs apart. Not together. That's no good at all. How will any fun be had this way?

Oh no. It's completely impossible to tell what I like based on a long history of posts on your work and a massive number of pictures of nude and bound women both in my gallery and in my favorites. Impossible I say. I'm too clever to be figured out so easily.
