There is only one devil's eye blossom left in the world and it only blooms in twilight. Though far from beautiful, it's flowers are highly prized & their fragrance has the power to return forgotten memories of lost loves. Often the memories are as intense as the experiences that formed them... Angela holds the withered plant in her hand, her crimson eyes distant as she watches her lover die once more. He speaks his last words and she tries to catch them. This time she wants so desperatly to hear his final wish ...

*does the first comment dance* I'm back again! I just love your work.
This is gorgeous, i love how you've used the reds in this picture.
What media did you use?

:-) Samael Howard replies: "She was created with prismacolor pencils and red marker."

Wow .. Thats ... Great ,,, holy damn this is a great picture ... ::Jealous::

:-) Samael Howard replies: "Thank you. I am honored. (Anyone seeking asylum from the deadly pursuit of sanity should feed their mouse the link she's left. Never before has madness looked so inviting ...) "

Superb colors... I really love that picture. Everything is in balance between extreme colors and light and dark areas.

:-) Samael Howard replies: "After reading positive comments like these, the artist's head swelled as wide as the moon in an october night's sky. It floated up and out of his house, leaving his body far behind (even though it flapped it's arms with all of it's might like a dying chicken.) Over the rooftops and towards the heavens it soared, it would be there now with the angels had not the body, feeling ignored, shot it down with a BB gun and lit what was left with a bottle of whiskey and some gasoline...Thus we learn how important it is to treat our bodies right..."

I love all that red hair, could it be a howard family trait??? Maybe a portrait of grandma in her younger days...
All kidding aside, this is my favorite. The colors are so vivid and she is beautiful.

:-) Samael Howard replies: "It's always good to hear from the family. You all seem in such good humor! I think I'd probably saner today if I'd grown up on the Howard side. You guys aren't at all like the stories I was told..."

Though I know I'm repeating what others have already said...I have to say I love her hair. I am a sucker for contrasting colors, so the red stands out really well against the green of her skin, as do the reds and oranges in the background. Beautiful work!

:-) Samael Howard replies: "Angela's hair stylist responds:" I'm glad you enjoy my work, all the women here were absolute dears the whole time I had them in here and I went out of my way to reward them for their patience. They didn't move a single muscle while I styled their hair... ... ... they just kind of stared at me and breathed funny. I don't know whether they were nervous or just worried I'd make them look ridiculous, but obviously they were pleased with the results. In fact Angela here was so pleased she gave me a great big hug. I was worried she was going to crack my ribs! LOL I couldn't even breathe! Then I blacked out and woke up in this smelly dark place covered in hot wet goo and all my skin melted off and I screamed for a long time until everything faded in a brilliant white light and I woke up as a monkey. Other than that my life hasn't changed much. I spend most of my time grooming others and touching myself in places I shouldn't. "

Wooooo. I could cry. I mean, not in a bad way, it's just woooooo. So much wooooness. Wooo. Stoppit. Okay. Better. Wooo- agh shuddup. Anyway. Fabbity fab fab pic, can i have your cat's babies?

:-) Samael Howard replies: "  Comment from the Cat: What kind of price are we talking here? Because even though that evil vet bastard ripped out my unmentionables, I'm still more than capable of providing babies for you to adopt. Just tell me what species you're looking for and I'll send them to you via Federal Express once your check clears... ... ...or if you want to save half-off on my finders fee just give me your credit card numbers and two valid forms of I.D. (Is this legal?) "

she looks so sad!! The colors in this picture are superb! I love the mix of red and green. Great complementary color contrast! (long live art classes @_@) I love the beauty in this one!
