Artist's Comments

Finally, after a so long time I’m submitting a new draw…
According to the Jewish mythology, Lilith was the first woman, the first Eve… Then she rebelled to Adam and God since she did not want to subdued to Adam will and to give pleasure to him…
Lilith then generated the succubi and incubi that visit the humans during the night…
In the Jewish legends, Lilith steals the men’s semen during the sleep to get pregnant and to her demon-like sons.
In the medieval legend Lilith mixed with the indo-european goddesses and with other female figures to generate the “idea” of the witches.
Here, she is as represented as the first witch with some of her symbolic attributes such as the snake.

Inspired by that asked a draw to me… Still I have to finish some other free commissions I got..

It's beautiful! You really have a most unique style. I love how you work with large empty spaces accented by areas of incredible detail. It gives a lot of intensity to your work. In this drawing I'm just blown away by the way you worked on Lilith's hair. There is a poem by Rossetti, where a Lilith-like seductress strangles a man with her tresses. You drawing reminded me of it.

amazing as always hon. I always love how your work looks so different yet equally good as small view and in full view. It has a different quailty depending on the view size, very interesting.

And scanning large pieces is such a pain, nearly everything i have has to be scanned in at least 2 sections.
