Hi! I'm new to this, let me know what you think of what I've done. I call this one ... "An Angel Tries To Flee From The Devil" Thanks!

Why flee? Turn around and kick him in the teeth! Punch a hard heel through his wing membranes!! And then, tie his tongue around his horns in a square knot!!! (if it is a forked tongue, you can do both horns) If he slobbers, you can use Goo Gone to remove any sticky residue. Also, there are rules at this website about not showing sexual arousal as well as not showing rape scenes. Sorry, but IMHO, this is over the line. Carolly

Satan's chubby does seem a bit gratuitous, though I suppose does clarify that he's not after her soul. Is there some meaning or symbolism in her wearing high heels? At any rate, the mix of sex and religion gurantees that you'll probably get few if any comments on any artistic merit your image may have--and probably few comments at all since it'll likely be pulled. Unless you simply want to stir up Hell's fires here in the forums then I'd say at least lose Lucifer's package and put some heavenly undies on Angel Girl.

I missed the picture!

Imperfect word picture from memory: Set against a blue sky, angelic winged femme in flight with an expression of horror contemplating the proverbial 'fate worse than death', clad only a pair of stiletto f**k me pumps. + Leering, bat winged Lucifer reaching out to grab her by the ankle and sporting major lumber that the Evil One himself would be justly proud of. An allegory of the eternal struggle of good vs. evil, the sacred and the profane, chaste virtue succumbs to violent virility, Persephone in the underworld suffused with an almost divine inner light... Anyway, I thought the poses were nice.

Well, I was thinking of baseball, given the size of both bat and balls. :whistle innocently:

Very appropriate I'd say - baseball that is - since he apparently struck out! lmckenzie, I saw it too but honestly think your description was better, although picture did seem an honest effort. Just my thoughts.

Sounds like I missed something exciting.

I saw it, and I didn't even notice the, er, TOS violation. Guess I was too busy wondering why the angel was nekkid except for those spike heels. Somehow, that doesn't seem very angelic.

"although picture did seem an honest effort..." I thought so too. Either he/she just didn't read the TOS or it was deliberate--the Mephistophilean member did seem somewhat of an afterthought. We'll probably never know since the auteur has no do doubt been consigned to that dreaded inner circle of Hades known as the Warning Notice. As for the heels, if the NYC portion of the creator's handle refers to the Big Apple, I imagine all the Angels in Baghdad on the Hudson probably wear them, at least they would in my fantasies.

It was a more original image than the "girlfriends in pool" picture he posted later. Perhaps he should have been directed to that other R-place, where he could express his original vision without running into the TOS.

Hmm, some I have a feeling I should know those girls. You tell him about the other 'R-Place.' I know you can't link to it and from the way the rules have way of changing with an almost Soviet style suddenness and secrecy, I'm not about to risk it.
