Artist's Comments

Half inspired by the art of Alphonse Mucha, and half by Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel fresco The Fall of Man. Illustrates a scene of biblical mythology where Lilith, Adam's first wife, gives Eve the apple of wisdom. Eve doesn't seem at all reluctant about accepting Lilith's offer....

(God made Lilith, after Adam got tired of having sex with the animals. God made Lilith out of dust, same as Adam, and she thought that since they were made of the same stuff, they were equal. Adam thought otherwise, and again went whining to God about his wife who wouldn't have sex in missionary position. So God made Eve out of Adam, assured that she would be submissive. Lilith naturally gets pissed off about this. Today, Lilith is celebrated as the first feminist, and her name shows up on TV, as Lilith, Fraiser's wife on Cheers, and also the Lilith Fair, celebrating the music of female artists. Lilith is also the mother of all monsters, her curse for leaving her sleazeball husband, and calls werewolves, vampires, and lamia her babies.)

Omigod, that is soo cool and so informative. Why would not being submissive be a bad thing? Geez. But I tottaly love this, especially how the skin is purple, but its still realistic. Go you!

Thanks for the favorite! I don't know if it's necessarily informative, since it is mythology, and you can't really find out much about Lilith unless you're into Jewish mysticism. But I always thought Lilith was cool, and Michelangelo's painting of Lilith is probably one of my favorite pieces of art.

That bag of money was like a baby to me. Except it was made of gold instead of useless baby meat.

Wow, do you have a url so I could check out the painting. And I think its informative, I love mythology, especially Greek/Roman myths.

Mmm...the anatomy work here makes me really really happy :D I love their faces, and the distinct characterization you've given them. The way you shaded the skin is beautiful.
