I love her story...how she refused to "lie under him!" Nice art! I love the style!

I'm glad to know other people are aware of her. I've only ran into one other person who knew that Lilith had been written about (that being the person who bought it) - most people wanted to argue with me about it. I did the painting as a sort of 'power to the woman', so I hope she carrys that idea. Thank you as well for the compliment ^__^

You're welcome...I love her story honestly! She referenced so often in literature, film, comics, anime...she's a very interesting character! I love her sexual appeal to...so overpowering. like she'd perch on top of you like a gargoyle and take your soul before she took your sex! It's all...mm...yiffy! But yeah, you're very welcome! many people don't know about her, so I have respect for a person, let alone an artist who does!

I love it as well, though I cannot take entire credit for it. I had seen the idea somewhere else, but tampered with how it looked to make it apart of my composition with Lilith.

I thought the idea of a dirty bath tub (almost like a cauldron) could be a great symbol for "the idea of woman being cooked-up in a discriminating way"... since the bible/talmud referrences the creation theory.

Anyway though, it's an interesting image.
