Here's my interpretation of the Megami Tensei Semitic God of Death outside his coffin, Mot.
For those of you who don't know, Mot in the games is always hiding inside his coffin with the most you see where his veiny hands,green eyes and one horn. The rest of his body was unknown to what it looks like. This is my idea on what he looks like outside of it. As usual there is mythological significance with this. I did some research on both the Megami Tensei wiki and Google for some possible ideas.

Not much is known about Mot but it is said he is both the God of Death and symbol of dryness based on the dry region he originated from.He rules the underworld and is said to appear pruned and dried like a vine of vinedressers (hence his purple skin and veins all around his body.) The few sources that describe him talk about his massive jaws and throat as he devours all to the underworld with constant hunger for life. I gave mot a large set of teeth and gave his neck some sharp teeth as well to show his insatiable hunger. Finally very few sources say he holds a scepter of bereavement and the scepter of widowhood which I have them equipped behind him (this also explains why his casket has two scepters in the image.) He was also believed to look similar to his brother Baal to show the change of seasons ( so I gave him the exact attire with some changes.)
This was a fun one to do. Hope you guys enjoy it. Mot was originally designed by Kazuma Kaneko.
