Hello and welcome to another Macabre Monday with HAUNTED DESIGN HOUSE.
You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece
that depicts a Succubus in one form or another.
Just what is a Succubus you may ask?
In folklore traced back to medieval legend, a
succubus (plural
succubi) is a female
demon or supernatural being appearing in dreams, who takes the form of a human woman in order to seduce men, usually through
sexual intercourse. The male counterpart is the
incubus. Religious traditions hold that repeated intercourse with a succubus may result in the deterioration of health or even death.
In modern fictional representations, a succubus may or may not appear in dreams and is often depicted as a highly attractive
seductress or
enchantress; whereas, in the past, succubi were generally depicted as frightening and demonic.
Now ya know!
We are sponsored this week by
Kenny K has generously offered up
2 digis of choice to each
of the chosen Gruesome Twosome.
For my project this week, I chose 'DEVASTASIA' - I thought she looked like a right little Minx, so I put her with some body parts (all male of course LoL) from the Anatomy 101 Set from Smeared Ink.
I coloured her up and the body bits and then cut them out and stuck them onto a background graveyard from Tempus Fugit. Doesn't she just look the picture of innocence ??? Bwaahahahahaha !

So I hope you will come over to Haunted Design House and see what my fellow Minions have to show you, and maybe join in with our Challenge. You can get some really fabbo images from Smeared Ink to join us with (some I actually drew myself and they would be just right for this - Succubus Set at Smeared Ink)
