Full View Is a MUST
:bulletblue: Please Read the Description

:bulletgreen: This piece is really personal to me, and symbolic. Ill leave out the personal details but the symbolic ones deserve an explantion.

:bulletgreen: This is my depiction of Atropos the Greek god whom was belived was the cause of death, it was said she would cut the strings of life and someone on earth would die, she was also known as the bearer of Fate. In my drawing I tried to depict her having to cut her own thread of life, ending her own, and the people which she has killed out reaching out to her. The moth on her arm is not a tatoo, rather it is the Atropos moth, it is known for the skull that is on its back. :D :D :D

:bulletgreen: My friend David [link] took time to critque this which was greatly appreciated, please check out his wonderful gallery.

:bulletgreen: Comments and Critique are most welcome.

Wow :O that's gorgeous!
Great symbolism behind it too.
:iconsilmuen:
very well done, the pose and the concept, just rocks. I especially like the hands and the moth on her arm. Those details really make the painting creepy and mysterious. Great dark vibe there. It's a really great work :clap:

Great concept and symbolism. I like her dress and her hands are very well done. Also, are there screaming faces in the bg or is that just my imagination running away with me again?

It's not what's on the page, it's what's in your heart. Skill can be acheived through practice, but passion can not.
