sympathy for the devil

another update dry spell whoops!!!  i've been working on a series of watercolor and gouache paintings for one of my finals, but i'd like to wait until they're all finished before posting them together, so prepare yourself for some more filler doodles in the meantime (i know how psyched you must be)

the x-files pretty much occupies the top spot in my heart for...almost everything imaginable, so it's no surprise that they've created one of my all time favorite big bads as well (i like to think he was genuinely immortal, got some reaper cybernetic enhancements a century or so later, and started calling himself "the illusive man" for a change of pace...)
