I just recently have completed my "Succubus" artwork for Tate's Comics; "Bear and Bird Gallery"
art show themed "Monsters Under the Bed"- a childhood fears show. The Succubus is loosely based on Lilith. The piece is on wood panel, made with pencil, acryllic, color pencil, microns, and ballpoint pens.
I approached the piece with very little in the way of plans, and I started by creating the geometric framing shape, and then moved to the figure. I used almost no reference for this piece whatsoever. The woman is made up straight from my head, as well as the sheets, and basically everything but the wings and the owls.
It took me about five days to put it together, and I worked alongside my good friend Paul during our art sessions in his studio. I actually Dreamt of a Succubus while working on this piece....was kinda freaky.... I was immobilized, and while the energy exchange didn't feel bad, I basically was overwhemled, and had no choice in the matter, just couldn't get away if i tried...lol.
