Fallen Domination

These designs are based on the nine choirs of angels as proposed by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, and on the visions of Saint Hildegard of Bingen.
For the fallen Domination, the key to his design is to convey the idea that he pushes down where the Domination lifts up. This effect is achieved through several elements: first, all elements that make up the creature (the smoke, its central body and the tentacles hanging from its mouth) move downwards.
Second, the design clearly communicates that this is a dangerous being. The light of the Domination has been replaced by darkness, and the tentacles can grab other creatures and drag them into the demon’s mouth.
Third, the smoke is a sign of the power the fallen Domination wields over the less powerful anti-choirs. It falls behind the figure like a cloak and acts as a status symbol.
Fourth, the damage the fall has done to the demon is clearly visible. Smoke pours from his sides like blood. The marble texture on the central body of the demon presents a continuation of the smoke emitted by the demon.
Fifth and finally, the central body of the fallen Domination takes the form of an inverted triangle, conferring instability to the form.
