ideas behind this piece

The Eye of Providence is a figure that depicts an eye, often enclosed in a triangle. Providence also means the almighty guardianship of God. The root words for “providence” are “~before+~seeing,” as this figure is the prophetic eye of the Almighty God. Since Elliot is a demon, "providence" was replaced with “malevolence.” His ability is not to foresee but to peep into others' minds and hearts. The root words for malevolence are “~badly +~wishing,” which fits his demon ability.

Another idea for this drawing is the evil eye: The evil eye is a supernatural belief in a curse brought about by a malevolent, envious glare. This is also very suitable for his design because his origin forme is the Sea Serpent Leviathan, the demon of the deadly sin of envy.
