Description Lilith for my World Mythology class. I wanted to show a vulnerable side but also a strong side (opposites) that's seen throughout mythology. She is always seen around plants and nature so I wanted to keep a flat less defined depiction of plants in the background. I also wanted to have her emerging from darkness, like emerging from the negativity Christianity gave her. I'm not quite sure if I should render her hair or keep it flat and transparent like it is now.... Let me know if you want to see rendered hair!!! She has a Ouroboros tattoo on her back that is a symbol of the snake shes associated with and also the never ending cycle of things.

This is absolutely great! It is wonderful to see Lilith as what she was in mythology, a woman. Not a hideous monster. Wonderful work and great information.

Fantastic on every front. Absolutely love reading the foundations underlying a fantastic visual work. The mood expressed and the reasoning behind it in the mind of the artist are as fine a delicacy to enjoy as the portrait of the First Lady herself. i wonder if Eve might one day cast a gaze toward the darkness east of Eden and wonder what that rustling in the foliage of the garden that seems to be approaching her might be.
