Description
I've been inspired lately by Milton's epic poem ''
aradise Lost.'' The descriptions within, of Satan and the fallen host, really are wonderful... Gehenna a Hebrew word for hell, or indeed, a hellish place, namely the valley from which the word originates...I have also been really inspired lately by the incredible support and kind, thoughtful comments of you special deviants. You know who you are, so thank you.
Four hours, photoshop and illustrator.

Gorgeous. I recognise that stock photo - I think has used it in one of her digi-creations - but once again, this is breathtaking work!

Thanks! You're right. Paradise Lost is rather cool.
(On a totally unrelated topic - Morrissey tickets released on Friday for his residency at London Roundhouse - At last! You've had him for far too long!)

Superb form and fine contrast. Striking use of red. Effective mood piece. It's been ages since I last read Milton's masterful composition.

I'm currently reading that and Dante's Inferno. I must admit, it's quite a revelation. Thanks so much for the great comment.

Thank you so much for the comment and favourite!
I've noticed your work also fits well with Milton's themes, I was wondering whether or not you had read it...?

Well I was always interested in it, especially because I also like the band "Paradise Lost" ...
I bought the book at Amazon some years ago, but somehow I haven't read it till now, shame on me ... problem was I had been reading Otherland, then the Song of Ice And Fire books, and then Stephen King finally finished The Dark Tower ... so somehow I always pushed reading Milton off ... I mean I know what it's about and I read some summaries and so on, but never started with the original ...
can you recommend it or do you just like parts of it ?
