Artist's commentary
Ifrit
This spirit is known as a flame demon. Here, I largely made a combination of an Undine and Shiva, I got the idea from some RPG where you can have Shiva as your lover. I gave the Ifrit an impression of ferocity, but, given that it's easy to paint it in an evil light, the truth is I actually incorporated the charming genie of the lamp from Disney into the Ifrit.
