One of the demonic royals of the Ars Goetia, Ipos is a prince woth residence in the Wrath ring; his magic area of expertise being divination, he can see roughly the past and future of anyone standing in his immediate vicinity.
Power wise he's slightly above Stolas. He's in his early 40s.
He owns a considerable expanse of land within wrath, his residence isn't as visually impressive as other nobles, but that's mostly because he prefers to spend his wealth on an ever expanding hellhorse ranch and several storage garages for his collection of antiques.

Say hello to my newest son!!
So for a while now I've been going back and forth, on numerous other Helluva ocs bios, about some nondescript noble that they all work for or are related to, and many of my previous attempts at designing such failed miserably.
Then for [redacted mini project] I needed this wrathian cowboy vampire dude, decided to base him on a vulture bc desert bird, and finally had a spark go off in my head to look up if any Goetia demon is represented as one. Found Ipos, the rest came off that.
So
Yes
Cowboy vampire bird man was born.
Yes this has given me a start-off point for tons more HCs and characters, working on that takes time tho bc irl busy @_@

Lilith by John Collier (1889)
I’ve been lately so obsessed with this painting. Something about showing her so soft and calm is hear warming. She’s an independent and a strong woman, who was brave to say no.

Edward Henry Corbould - (1815-1905) - "Astarte"
He was a British painter and draughtsman on wood, etcher and sculptor; pupil of his father Henry Corbould; appointed drawing master to Queen Victoria's children, 1851-72; married to Fanny Jemima, daughter of the engraver Charles Heath.
Astarte is the Canaanite/Phoenician goddess of love, sex, war and hunting who developed from the Mesopotamian deity Inanna/Ishtar. She is often depicted with horses and chariots after her arrival in Egypt and as a beautiful naked woman, sometimes with wings or horns, as she was in the Canaanite/Phoenician regions, which also associated her with the dove, the bee and the lion.

Since you're Brazilian, I'm curious and wanna ask if Halloween is a big thing there. How do you celebrate it? What/who are the most famous monsters/creatures in Brazilian folklore/mythology?
Hey anon 👋😄
First of all, I'm really sorry if I took too long to anwser it. I hope you don't mind it.
Second, that's the first time someone here on Tumblr asks me about my country's culture, so I really thank you for your curiousity.
So about Halloween, I'd say that YES, it's a day many of us celebrate here (I mean, it's not really a tradition that is taken seriously as much as it is in USA or other countries, but I guess it may be considered kind of a big deal here too, at least before Coronavirus). Here you still find children wearing all types of costumes, knocking at door to door asking for candies, places that organize thematic parties, TV specials with horror movies and all that kind of stuff.
Now, about our folkloric and mytological creatures, we definetely have many, but I talk a little about the most known ones.
Curupira: It's a creature originated from the Brazilian indigenous culture. He is the guardian of forests and punish the ones who come to hunt the animals or cut down the trees. He has a boyish appearence, red hair just like fire and both his foots are turned backwards.
Tumblr media
Iara: it's a mermaid who lives in deeps of the Amazonas river. She's known for her beautiful appearence that blinds the men who get closer to her and a enchanting voice who hypnotizes and attracts them until she can drags them to the water and drowns them. Actually, this legend comes from the european folklore, but was brought and adapted to Brazil around the 19th century.
Tumblr media
Mula sem Cabeça (in english -> Headless Mule): Most of the versions of this myth tell us that this creature is actually the ghost of a woman who was cursed for sleep with a priest. She was condemned to turn into a mule with dark fur, silver horsehoes in the hooves and a fire ball in the place of its head every Thrusday sunset and gallop widly through the fields until Friday dawn.
Tumblr media
Boto Cor de Rosa (in english -> Pink Dolphin): The story is about a pink dolphin who lives in the Amazonas river and turns into a charming and beautiful man every full moon night, seduces women, impregnates them and comes back to the waters, disappearing.
Tumblr media
Saci Pererê: the Saci is described as a black boy who wears a red hood, uses a smoking pipe and has only one leg. He lives in the woods and is known as a mischievous creature who loves to tricks the travelers and countryside residents.
Tumblr media
Well that's it. I basically made a summary, so probably it's missing a lot of stuff, but I still tried my best. If there's some other brazilian people here who would like to correct me or add new information, feel free to reblog this post 😘
DISCLAIMER: NONE OF THOSE ARTS/DRAWINGS BELONGS TO ME, BUT TO THEIR RESPECTIVE CREATORS!!!
