Denia [Wuthering Wave]

This was actually one of my personal favorite scene from the OG Chainsaw Man manga where Denji for the first time isn't worried about bo*bs or s*x, he's just innocent in this moment. I vaguely remember the movie adaptation which had the music in the scene on point too which did wonders to illustrate the moment of unfiltered innocence.

I think it's precisely because of that surface level innocent scene that this works so well with Denia who hides what's truly inside her. Bit of spoiler for anyone who hasn't read or watched Chainsaw Man, in this particular parody scene, there are few snippets of panels that focus on a spider spinning her web on a butterfly that was caught in the spiderweb. I thought that was a really good touch and probably why it left lasting impression on me that I'm using it with Denia.

And thus I drew Denia as you see below, malevolent twisted and beautiful.

So, which one do you like out of the two?
