The superb sci-fi and fantasy-themed concept artworks of Pablo Dominguez - https://www.this-is-cool.co.uk/the-sci-fi-and-fantasy-concept-creations-of-pablo-dominguez/
Okay actually, I need to talk about this scene some more:
In his post-credit scene, Raphael is framed very very classically with a light vs darkness / good vs evil theme, by having one half of his face lit and the other in shadow.
I can't help but think back to my art class in school, where we discussed the topic on the example of FAUST, where no other than the devil, MEPHISTO, is framed the same way:
The lighting also changes throughout the scene, subtly emphasising what Raphael is talking about in each shot.
As he thanks you and marvels over the crown, the background is brightly lit:
Yet, his face is already half in shadow.
When he changes frame (like a TV presenter, why??? This is such an unusual almost-4th-wall-break. Someone else has to interpret this one for me), the background is dark. This is where he talks about conquering the Hells, ending the blood war, and looking for new worlds to conquer.
This is where the light-dark contrast on his face is highest, too.
Think about: Uniting the hells and ending the blood war (by eradicating the chaotic evil demons, aka bringing order) is technically a good thing. Ending war, right? But the blood war is essentially what keeps evil (both, lawful and chaotic) from expanding into other worlds, because it's kept busy in Avernus.
The act can be seen as good and bad, but ultimately the consequences will be horrible for the other planes, so he is steeped in darkness, but there's still light in it.
Now he turns again. The background is bright, his face fully lit, as he tells you that he'll come knocking at your door.
The theme is flipped now. The shot suggests 'good', while his words sound like a threat. It's unsettling, and adds to the ominous tone.
It makes it harder to be certain how his words are meant to be taken.
Is he threatening us, that he'll come and destroy us?
But he did "swear not to use the crown's power to dominate a mortal" (don't get me started on how many loopholes this one phrase has).
After all, we helped him, and are his most cherished client. Maybe it's not a threat at all, and he just intends to contract our services again.
Who is to say? The lighting certainly suggests that he's no threat to us, even if his words do.
Thalania drew a shaking breath while readying her bow. She was trembling, and as her emotions spilled over, streaking her cheeks with tears, she cried out.
"Please don't make me do this! I thought we were friends!”
My DTIYS entry for @bambilene-doodles of her OC Thalania :)

Did some cinematic screenshot-like doodle/low effort drawing with my first ever OC that's been resurrected (this time with a personality, no longer the: self insert, “not-like-other-girls” cause I'm a sad kid who doesn't wanna be forced to wear dresses) and made her into a beefy hot boxer lady- I mean hot lady- I mean beefy hot lady- I mean hot- I mean beef- I mean what
“Copperthorn yowled and staggered back as a sharp burn crawled deep into his shoulder. He could feel the eyes of the two other warriors nearby as they watched him anxiously—Fearfully. With a snarl, the burly tom lowered himself and amber eyes locked on the badger slowly circling him.”
I’ve always wanted to try out drawing a scene from something, so I decided to test it out with an old RP that I did with Copperthorn! It was definitely a lot of fun giving a visual to something like this.
