The image on: Female Angel Male Demon

The skull-demon thing, well it might be a male-shaped skull but I really don't think people care about that, doesn't really have anything going for it that's "male" looking otherwise. How often do you see people care about the sex of a skeleton?

The long haired light/water spirit looks a little too far from what people generally consider angels and it also barely shows anything stereotypically feminine in appearance.

There's undesirable fanservice in it, along with the middle character being unnecessary at the same time.

I can't think of a good example right now that would obviously show "demon" and "angel", so, any suggestions?

One that comes to my mind is the statues holding your health and mana metres in the first Diablo game.

At the bottom, could probably use a better resolution as well◊

Also a bit interesting in that the male demon represents physical health and strength, and the female angel represents spiritual power. (Though I think the second game reversed the two; never really played it.)

GIS didn't help, but there wasn't any porn, I'm surprised.

I might as well submit this.

^^^Would need some epic cropping, but it shows the trope.

^That works pretty well.

Err... Diablo isn't really an example. They're both male. The Demon more aggressively so, but they're both male. The Angel is just in a robe.

^After leaning into the screen and squinting, I've confirmed that you're right. It was just so tiny I couldn't tell.

For what it's worth, Diablo 2 uses a female angel.

Diablo2 would work then.

I cropped out some images from Magic The Gathering cards (specifically Linvala, Keeper of Silence and Ob Nixilis the Fallen) and put them next to each other.

Does this work?

Yeah, that could work!

I always thought the angel in the original Diablo was female. Oh well.

^^Yes, but I think it's best for the two to be part of the same illustration.

Those are obviously by different artists. They may be kind of an example, but not a very good one.

Here's a slapped-together rendition of the angel and demon from the Diablo 2 screenshot.

The orbs are taking the focus for me.

Yeah, they kind of do. Maybe a gray-scale version? If that doesn't help, I like the one from post 4.

[1]◊?

Very cool, very demonstrative. The best yet.

I agree. That's the best image so far. Genders are clear. Angel is clear as is demon. It's dynamic and interesting to look at which is just bonus.

Further support here.

Oh yeah, that's pure win.

I like it.

Here's the image sized for the page.

And there we have it. Can that go ahead and go on?

I'll stick it up unless anyone has a caption.
