Artist Series - King Of Malifica

“Salvation is only the first lie.”

Before they can ascend to true power, the Kings of Malifica must prove their mastery not through conquest, but corruption. These demons are architects of ruin, preferring deception over force, faith over fear. To pass their trial, a King infiltrates a lesser universe wearing the flawless guise of a savior—a prophet shaped from stolen memories and impossible charm. From within, he cultivates zealotry, nourishes paranoia, and turns culture against culture until entire civilizations collapse under their own superstition and hatred. As brother slaughters brother in his name, the King harvests the psychic detritus of betrayal and chaos, storing it within his crystalline heart.

When that heart overflows, the King erupts into Resplendence—a brief, catastrophic apotheosis. Blinding colours beyond mortal perception tear through his false form, revealing a godlike horror that annihilates its worshippers in a storm of arcane slaughter. This power is fleeting, burning itself out unless fed by unending death. When the excess fades, the demon endures as an Ascendant King—still vast, still lethal, sustaining himself by consuming the essence of enemies and even his own fallen kin until the spark ignites once more. This Artist Series Bust captures that terrible threshold: the moment between divinity and damnation, where faith curdles into horror and a false god prepares to be reborn in blood.

This bust is part of our ongoing Artist Series, showcasing the twisted genius of world-class sculptors. It is offered in STL and LYS formats, both supported and unsupported, and is perfect for painters and collectors.
