Description This is a very symbolic and syncretic representation of the Gnosis. The figure on the left is Sophia, "the lock" (and also the moon, Selene, the Ying principle and so on...). The figure on the right is the gnostic serpent "the key" (and also Kundalini, the Yang principle and so on...).
Completely painted on Photoshop Cs3 with a Wacom Cintiq12WX. You can see the process in my blog: felideus.blogspot.com
I hope you like it.
Comments and critics are most welcome.

Thanks

Wonderful. I would also interpret Sophia with red hair.

That horn-helmet have a mix of influences from babylonian stuff with a touch of Alice in WonderlandΒ΄s surrealism. Thanks for your comment
