Description
Finally, after a so long time I’m submitting a new draw…According to the Jewish mythology, Lilith was the first woman, the first Eve… Then she rebelled to Adam and God since she did not want to subdued to Adam will and to give pleasure to him…
Lilith then generated the succubi and incubi that visit the humans during the night…
In the Jewish legends, Lilith steals the men’s semen during the sleep to get pregnant and to her demon-like sons.
In the medieval legend Lilith mixed with the indo-european goddesses and with other female figures to generate the “idea” of the witches.
Here, she is as represented as the first witch with some of her symbolic attributes such as the snake.
Inspired by that asked a draw to me… Still I have to finish some other free commissions I got..

So very cool. I love the upper lines that look like smoke but edgy. I have a book called Dragon World, and the art in it reminds me of yours. I have always enjoyed the simplicity yet detail of work like this. *smiles. It's something I want to do as I work on my books that I want to illustrate myself. *smiles. Good job. *smiles.

It's call Dragonworld (an epic fantasy), by Byron Preiss and J. Micheal Reaves and Illustrated by Joseph Zucker. The copyright is for 1979. Sadly i have a book club edition, I inherited it from my birth mother, so I can't give you the ISBN number, but it should be in print still, or at lest I hope so. I think you would love the artwork, you both have similar styles. It's also a good story. Big though. *smiles.

I really like your take on Lilith. Her flowing hair and the branches are very pretty and elegantly drawn- and the snake, as part of her clothing, is a nifty detail.

I always loved Lilith more.
For what is worth, i think you've really captured her nature-She's not evil, nor she's god-she is just defferent. At least, i never saw her as an evil creature, and that's kind of what i see here, in your work. She is powerfull and beautifull, and the same is Lilith you draw here. Hair is amazing, as well as all the other entangled forms of the trees and her hair. Really, really beautifull work!

I first read about Lilith in the novel The adventures of flash jacsson by kowalski. A good read! It said that she was supose to be the snake in eden. I'm a bit comfused about weather or not she's good or bad, but the in the book she represented the female power, which is supose to be a good thing. Anyway, she wouldn't let Adam dictate her so she spoke the tru name og God and flew up in the sky.
Your work is beautiful! That's all I've got to say about that.

wow good job. i've been browsing through your gallery after the nice comment you left me and i must say you are very talented! i love the lines of your work. everything fits together in the most pleasing way and it's all very soft and interesting to my eyes. how the background circles fade slowly from a dark value to a light value adds such a cool efect, and her hair is absolutely stunning. seriously good work. i feel inspired. good job.

This is a truly fabulous piece of work – there's so much in it too see, to enjoy... One of the highlights is the backdrop, the spiralwork – the way you've graduated the light... Breathtaking!

i absolutely love your work.. It has the perfect fantastical charm, while still staying very close to abstract sensibilities and remembering that its a drawing.
Lilith is a favorite subject for my good friend that works on narrative art, comics, and paintings with me on frequent nights.. midnight to 5am

...comunque...avendo tradotto....posso dire che per un periodo ero un po' "fatina".. un mio amico mi chiama la fatina delle lucciole... Inoltre le fate sono creature che possono essere viste buone o cattive a seconda dellanimo di chi le guarda..... un bacione...

? :confuse: che c'entrano le fatine? Lilith è la prima Eva, la moglie ribelle di Adamo... colei che ha originato le streghe.. non nel senso delle megere, ma nel senso di sacerdotesse di antichi e arcane conoscenze che consentono il dominio sulla natura...
