I’m tired, so I recycled the bugs for this picture of Ba’al who was likely the inspiration for Beelzebub, lord of the flies.

1. And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. 2. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways.

Pazuzu: 
(from Wikipedia because I am too tired to write a big bio like I did for Lilith)
In Assyrian and Babylonian mythology, Pazuzu (sometimes Fazuzu or Pazuza) was the king of the demons of the wind, and son of the god Hanbi. He also represented the southwestern wind, the bearer of storms and drought.

Lilith is a tricky figure.  She was first described as a female demon in the sixth century, but there is one reference to the name (though without much information) prior to that in the Book of Isaiah.  It is possible that the Lilith is derived from a class of female Mesopotamian demons known as “Līlīṯu ”. 
In the Middle Ages she was referred to as “Adam’s first wife” who left Adam or was cast out for refusing to be subserviant.  This is the most popular depiction of the figure, and she is used as a symbol of women’s rights by some.  Lilith is often said to have gotten a bum rap by pagans and feminists who object to her being depicted as a baby-eating demon.  They prefer to equate her with Ishtar or Astarte even though there is little evidence for such a connection.
Regardless of her exact origins; whether she is a foul, seductive demon or a fertility goddess falsely maligned Lilith is an intriguing mythological figure who remains popular in books and film to this day.

About

The round has begun. We are no longer accepting applications.

One sketch from every participating artist, every day, or they're out. No slacking, no excuses.

RULES

1.) THERE WILL BE ONE POST ON THE SKETCHBET TUMBLR EVERYDAY BEFORE MIDNIGHT CST TIME. We aren’t responsible for checking your personal tumblr to see if you posted there by accident and we don’t have to tell you that you posted early by mistake. There are no do overs for this rule. *EDIT* THE DAY WILL NOW BEGIN AND END AT MIDNIGHT CDT.

2.) ANYONE ON THE DANGER LIST NEEDS TO POST TWO SKETCHES THE NEXT DAY. It is your job to check the danger list to see if you are on it. There are no do overs for this rule.

3.) YOU MAY ONLY POST 1 FANART PER WEEK. O.C.s for other properties count as fanart and the week starts on Sunday. If you accidentally post two in a week, you will be put on the danger list.

4.) PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT. A general rule of thumb is 15 minutes of time. If you post a low effort submission, you will be placed on the danger list.

5.) DON’T GO HIGHER THAN AN “R” RATING. Nudity is fine, life drawing is fine. Fetish art, explicit sex, “attack art,” and socially unacceptable or inflammatory content isn’t. There are no do overs for this rule.

6.) DON’T BE PUBLICLY PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE/HOSTILE ABOUT SKETCHBET MOD DECISIONS. It’s unbecoming and childish. We’d like to promote a better environment about that. There are no do overs for this rule.

7.) TAG YOUR POSTS. The first tag should be your name, and all fanart needs a #fanart tag. Otherwise how will we know if you posted or not? There is no do over for this rule.

8.) DON’T POST FINISHED WORK THAT IS FOR SOMETHING ELSE. This isn’t your personal promo tumblr. You can post the roughs or concept art, but not the finished comic page or commission. If you break this rule you will be put on the danger list.

9.) *EDIT 4/12/2012* DO NOT REDRAW, RECOLOR, OR OTHERWISE IMPROVE PREVIOUS DAYS' POSTS. It's unsporting and disingenuous. If you didn't get it done on the day, it shouldn't go in. If we catch you, you will be removed from Sketchbet. There is no do over for this rule.
