The cavern…

Painted with procreate.
This is one of the first landscape-scenes I painted that is more reddish and warm toned.
A cozy place… what creatures would live in such an enviroment ?

Know yourself…

She who knows herself.

The Toji – gateway between two worlds – the waking world – the dream world, the spirit realm. The moon.
The waking world – Eve – an island in the eternal coiling sea of the dreamworld – Tiamat –
While Eve obeys to mans demand – the spirit of Lilith does not.
She does not fear her own desires – she knows herself.

Bound in the state between the worlds – the hypnagogic state.

Unable to move – sleepparalysis.

She enter the abbyss… for sho does not fear her own desire.

She is becoming lucid withing the waking – and the dreaming world, like the fullmoon.

Know thyself.

I also love the more graphical style approach, that jet is still highly detailed.
Here are some impressions…
