Drawing the same character three times is tedious, it's even more tedious when it's three different forms and you have to attempt to stay 'on model'. Anyways.
This is Zebelun the incubus and his three flesh vessels which change throughout the story. The first one is his human form - the most inconspicuous, albeit he still has the red eyes. As much as one tries to hide themselves the eyes always stay the same so Lun has to wear sunglasses and try not to look too obvious.
The second is his first true form, this is how he looked when he first met Malloana. He was still an apprentice so Lun's look is incomplete. The lack of clothes can be explained with his profession - he's an incubus, he has to look seductive and enticing (not that he was any good at it from the start). Getting used to clothes and shoes was a big challenge.
His 'complete' or ascended look is the third drawing. After leaving Malloana due to circumstances the incubus had no other choice but to go through his initiation ritual and become a proper demon, which is visualized by a more bestial form and markings upon his body. His human disguise didn't change much so I didn't include it, the only difference would be that his markings would show too because similar to the eyes it is an important mark a demon cannot erase. Sadly a heavily tattooed man attracts much more attention so Lun was reluctant to return to humanity, there were other reasons too though.
It took a lot of preparation before the demon could face his beloved human again.
