Description The devil has seduced another victim. She leads him down the red carpet to her fortress in the underworld as the rest of her victims, ravaged by time, reach out in a futile attempt to escape, or drag her down with them....

Oh man let me tell you how difficult this picture was to complete. Actually, I won't because I can't even express it. Anyway, I really hope you like this work, I didn't post this for a while for fear of how people would react, this is one of my favorite pictures that I have ever completed and I didn't want to deal with people not appreciating it, but I was encouraged by a sort of.."friend" (who also suggested the title). See if you can figure out who it is. I entered this in the cgtalk challenge - [link] but I didn't win anything (the other entries were INCREDIBLE), but I am so proud of myself. Regardless though, enjoy it, you won't be seeing much like this from me, too tiring and time consuming >< I can't say I am not proud of my effort though, I hope you feel the same way. Thanks in advance for comments and favs, I love you all.

Also, to respond to another comment, I made the guy stiff on purpose, so he would have almost a robotic feel, he is completely under her spell and has lost touch with his human side in a sense, so his motions are no longer fluid or even living

Oh, and by the way, yes, there are faces in the clouds

THIS.IS.AMAZING!!!!

I love the whole idea of what is occuring & I really love the style in which you drew all the people (especially all the ones in the water).

I wish I could find the words to give you the comment you deserve, but....I'm just to stunned to come up with anything, at the moment.

All I can say is, your hard work definitely paid off. Excellent work!

They should make our lives easier by being able to add a whole gallery to our favourites. Or can we? Hmm....

Anyways, the detail is absolutely staggering, and I love the general feel I'm getting from it. Definitely, definitely favourited.

Amazing...you capture seduction and evil so well in the Devil (the tentacle comming from the bottom of the dress is a nice touch).
The man's expression is intriguing...he almost looks like he KNOWS what she is, yet is still walking. Perhaps that is a part of her power: to let you know, but to not let you resist.

My favorite part: you made the Devil a woman. This, my friend, is far more accurate than the oppisite.

Apprivoise [2010-11-08 14:58:03 +0000 UTC]

God, this is just absolutely gorgeous. The dramatic lighting and atmosphere, the reaching of the hands towards the couple even though they seem so calm about it (and the tentacle from under the woman's skirt is just extremely well done.

You are truly wasting what is clearly an artistic gift, and it's almost painful to see. Why the rest of your gallery isn't like this, I have no idea.

I'd ask why you don't do as much amazingly beautiful pieces like this instead of your shitty shiny desu @w@ arts like everyone else if I didn't already know it was you taking advantage of weaboos for money and popularity.

you have wasted a gift.

2138 [2009-03-31 04:18:03 +0000 UTC]

This is some real quality work; the smoky lighting and the murky waters give it a great Stygian atmosphere, and the red carpet is an interesting modern touch to tie it all together. Oddly enough, I think the least compelling parts of it are the central figures--but then, it's hard to beat the tangled madness that hides on each side of the carpet.

It's a pity you don't seem to be doing more like this. Your recent foray into anime and fanart may be more profitable, but I can't honestly say it has more artistic merit than a piece like this. I really hope you go back to this sort of thing, instead of spending your DA career generating more shiny soulless junk.

... Maaaybe he WANTS to draw other things besides realism! So you are calling the other pictures in the gallery crappy just because you don't like that kind of style???? And you don't have to be an artist or 13 to appreciate art!! You don't have to be above 13 to be an artist, too!
anyways... awesome pic! I love how the water is there, also!
