I had planned to take this into Painter for some finishing touches, but the more I looked at it, the more I grew to like it just the way it is. So, I'm submitting it just like this.
With that said, this is my version of the 'demon' Lilith, Queen of the Demons, first wife of Adam, current wife of Satan as well as the mother of my character Damien Lucifer and all that spiffy stuff. I originally created my version of her back in '99 I think it was, and I've just now designed a look for her which I'm happy with.
I experimented alot while working with this piece. First off, I used to draw in a more semi-realistic style than I do currently and tried to bring that out in the linework (which I think turned out quite well). I also "painted" her skin a little differently than my usual soft cell-shading style (I was aiming for a more realistic skintone, but it went awry). Plus, I used a gradient on her hair and put some little reflective "dot" thingies in it. Her pose was borrowed from a piece ~pu-sama posted in her LJ awhile back, but with a few changes.
The snake in the picture was just going to be a regular snake, but as I was working, I decided to make it a part of her energy signature. Since she is Adam's first wife, I thought having 'energy snake' familiars to do her bidding seemed very fitting
I almost made the apple in her hand work like a Sentinel Sphere from the Phantasm movies, but I thought that might be a bit much, at least for this picture. I think I may very well use that idea in another piece though...as a matter of fact, I'm positive I will.
Enjoy!

Whoa... that is quite the awesome Lilith! Her pose gives her a very confident yet guarded appearance; it is very good to see a character who shows both a high intellect and is still quite sexy as well.
Also, the lighting effects and shading really stand out in this illustration; I especially like the glowing smoke effects around the snake.
Excellent work!

Thanks man. I wanted my Lilith to come off as a very intelligent, sexy and very powerful lady. I mean, she's the 'First Lady' of Hell so she must look the part yes? ^_^ I'm glad I managed to pull it off. I was just thinking which of our Lilith's would win in a fight. SwordChucks versus Sentinel Apples and Energy Snakes. Hmmm...
I paid really close attention to the lighting in this pic since I have a tendency to screw up my light sourcing in most pics. Thanks.

I think they'd duke it out to a standstill until eventually giving up, becoming friends and laughing about it centuries later since they're both immortal.

And how did you know? Did Lady Ri tell you all my dirty little secrets. And you're the seond person who hinted around at wanting this as a print, though it'd be a tiny print.
Thanks, sis.

hehe... nah... it was your amazing job of making her resemble the Lillith in my head... you and your psychic powers. I don't care - I really love it. maybe I could have a wallpaper version for the time being?

Heh. I didn't know the Lilith in your head looked similar to the Lilith in my head. Weird. As for wallpaper? Er...this image is small, but feel free to take my pic and make your own wallpaper since it's for personal non-profit use.

Thanks. I swear everytime I look at this picture, I think of 'Sneaky Snake' which was a children's song we were forced to learn in music class back in kindergarten. Funny, I can hardly remember any lines to that song now.

We had to learn a song about a crocodile trying to eat an elephant in French once. Sadly, our French teachers died of cancer the very next year.

Neon pinkish? I don't think that would look right with her skin color. It would do too much contrast, but that's me.
I like the way you shaded this one. Very soft, smooth. And I just like how the text brushes looks so good in your drawings.

HotaruThodt In reply to Helena-Of-Troya [2008-03-19 03:46:52 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I've had that hair colour in mind for her ever since I designed her almost 10 years ago. Good thing it didn't quite work, huh.
And thank you. ^_^ You mean texture brushes, right? Because I drew the Hebrew lettering on her shoulder myself (which just spells her name).

I think so I use text brushes somtimes, never knew there were textures with text in them.
You are welcome.

Oh that's hot. Too bad my Luci's Lilith wasn't hot. Though its interesting that they both have an association with snakes, despite my Lilith NOT being Adam's first wife.
And that lighted mist effect makes this quite possibly my favorite colorization of yours to date. ^_^

HotaruThodt In reply to AyamePasse [2008-03-19 03:50:27 +0000 UTC]
Yes, but your Lilith does have an interesting look (plus a look around DA will show you that yours is probably the least ugly Lilith out there). Thanks. And if you take a look around sites like Wikipedia, there's some artwork up there that picture Lilith with a 'serpent'. Or apples. Or both.
For my mist effect, just ass an outer glow to a mist brush by ~PrettyBrush and set the layer to 'screen'. It's cheap but it works. XD

AyamePasse In reply to HotaruThodt [2008-03-19 04:26:52 +0000 UTC]
Lol, no, I think its safe to say that YOUR Lilith is the least ugly.
Lol, 'ass an outer glow'. Oh I HAD to point that out. *Apologizes.* And cool, I might have to keep that in mind, since I know there's SOME pic where I wanted an effect like that, though I ca- Oh! Trinity's lights. That was the one. ^_^

Well, you said 'Sottee' instead of 'Sorry' in an e-mail earlier, so now I guess we're even. Once I wrote 'Cockments' in a response to someon's comment over on LJ awhile back too. XD
Heehee...Maybe you could use some PS Brushes on some of your other pics. Luci's pic might look good with some CG mist. ^_^

Yeah, maybe. I want to use it if I actually color Trin.

Thank you so much. Her hair was originally going to be more of a neon pinkish red, but the shading looked odd on it. And thank you so much. Hearing that my work might be print-worthy mean alot.
