Grotesque horror creature design by Leopoldo La Ciura. A serpentine demon prince crowned in spikes, forged in digital shadows and infernal myth.
This demon prince concept art by Leopoldo La Ciura presents a grotesque horror creature forged in digital shadows. Crowned in spikes, serpentine and regal, it embodies infernal sovereignty. With clawed hands dripping blood and a tail emerging from mist, this creature is a fusion of myth and menace. Designed in 2025, it reflects La Ciura’s signature style: ritualized anatomy, poetic distortion, and ceremonial horror.
Watch the birth of infernal royalty. This video reveals the atmosphere and inspiration behind “The Demon Prince” — a grotesque fusion of horror, myth, and digital design.
