Description 'The only thing that burns in hell, is the part of you that won't let go of your life. Your memories, your attachments, they burn them all away. But they're not punishing you,' he said. 'They're freeing your soul. If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But, if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth. It's just a matter of how you look at it that's all. So don't worry, okay?' -- Quote from the film 'Jacob's Ladder'

I like your interpretation of the dichotomy between the "Lovers" and the "Devil" of the tarot. I once did a series of my own inspired by the major arcana--great fun!

Tarot symbolism has always been a big inspiration to me. Wondered if anyone would notice

Exceptional work - while I'm very impressed with the super cool giant face entrances the detail that really caught my attention was the little figure apparently rowing down the river Styx on one side and meditating on the other.  It just a fantastic little subtle detail.

Great work on the figures on this one too, particularly the lustful entities in the centre - it's a very dramatic embrace that could have looked really awkward in the hands of a lesser artist.
