Description Inspired by Nick Cave's (yeah, I know, it's getting too much) "Do You Love Me" and many, many dark and darker passions - and the only way to describe the song is to paste the lyrics from beginning to end, because it is simply breathtaking. I'll settle for these:

"In my bed she cast the blizzard out
A mock sun blazed upon her head
So completely filled with light she was
Her shadow fanged and hairy and mad..."

A love story that's got you clawing and howling.

Thank you I didn't come up with the concept all by myself, though, music and imagination helped me.

I love the song and I love your depiction. Nick Cave has wonderfully expressive lyrics so can see why you put some of them down visually, and it's so nice to see your take on it. I love the complexity of the the painting in the sheet she is holding? Or is that not a sheet? if not then I apologize

I could simply not agree more... the way people are depicted in his lyrics is simply amazing, and when I recently fell for this music I had no idea I'd fall so hard... I'm glad you liked this one. Dunno what else I can say... the quality of the photo is awful... And yes, she is holding a sheet, a bloody one, too. It was inspired by the disappearing verse where it is said "blood running down the inside of her legs", and I knew there had to be blood running, but when people connect blood and legs, they tend to complain, so... Anyway, the idea was her split nature - half innocent woman, half monster with her occasional full moon crimes... On an emotional note, it has a lot more to do with my own heart and nature than I've dared express so far...

Powerful pictures are always emotional as I believ you told me and looking at this I couldnt agree more. I know what you mean about the blood and legs. Sometimes people look too deep or they just look too hard I guess. But I love this picture and I guess that's about the end of it!

Thank you for understanding Hmm, I'd say the blood and legs thing has much more evident reasons for people to stare away from it. Especially when it comes to women. But, thanks again for the support, and thank you for taking the time to comment on this
