Deep Scarlet

I was actually going to group this in a sketch-dump of sorts, but… I liked how it came out sorta. Especially since I wasted my entire morning with it.

Unpolished look is on purpose considering the art-style. I pretty much scanned it then colored in rather then retracing the whole drawing. Based off this scene: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXdjYj…

… I enjoy this series way more than I should to the point where it draws rather twisted inspiration. We need more proper KKHTA art here, and not just really dumb jokes about the damn hat. :T

Also yes, she does have an inverted cross on her neck-tie, but it was hidden in her own shirt until Part 17(the link above)... Why it's there? She's freakin' Satan, that's why.

• Koa has two-tongues in KKHTA. Having two-tongues symbolizes lying maliciously in some cultures. Snakes, which have forked-tongues, are known for lying in some stories. In the tale of Adam & Eve, the devil(Satan) takes form of a serpent.
• Satan is also formerly the most beautiful angel that fell out of God's favor. Koakuma asks Flan if she has seen an angel, which "shine with a beautiful light, like true demons".
• Satan possesses god-like qualities. She had taken "the power of a god".
• Koakuma is canonically mischievous… Guess how the devil himself is sometimes described?

Sure, it was obvious considering her specie and even it being joked around. But the sheer symbolism… Well played Sentaku. Not such a 'little' devil anymore.
