Description
I know a lot of people view Lilith in a lot of ways but legends say she was the first wife of Adam and since she tried to be his equal on a sexual level she was cast aside and exiled as disobedient. Of course I invite you to believe what you want to believe but after hearing so much about Lilith I decided to try to do a rendering of what she might have looked like before she was cast from grace. I always imagined her with red hair of some sort so I think this hair does her justice and since I envision her in a bit of a natural scene she is au naturale herself and to me her hair length represents her communing with nature in some way. The crown of leaves symbolizes her as a 'first queen' and I also envisioned her having a bit of a darkner skin tone since the sun would no doubt bless her in multiple ways. Finally I worked on her expression for a long time and I wanted to portray her with a bit of a defiant/sexy/strong look. She was indeed going to have sex to please herself and not a man so in a way that does resemble a woman's desire for power.Again, interpret the Lilith legends as you want and trust me I'm definitely not one to preach religion but I think this reveals her beauty and defiance well before her fall from grace.
I hope you enjoy her too.

Lilith supposedly still sends female demons to mens dreams, removing sexual energy from them. I don't blame her.

Lilith never fell. It was Yahweh in his hubris and his folly and his jealousy at any other being than him guiding Adam to fulfillment. Women are a threat to Yahweh, and he is right to fear them. He was wrong to curse them to an inferior lot in life, though.

Amazing work as usual. I get an impression of vulnerable innocence and strong independence simoultaneously. Her facial expression is great.

I'm a little unsure about this 'Lilith' of legend but, it sounds slightly familiar, and I'm curious as to the origin/source of these legends/myth/tales... Any answers/suggestions?
On another note, GREAT job with the creation! How long did you spend on this?

I am not a religious person myself, so I know very little about the actual story surrounding Lilith. From what I have heard, though, this is a very fitting tribute to the individual spoken of in the stories. The au naturale look is quite suiting, too. Awesome work.

Lovely art - both she and nature is so lush. Adam sure made a BIG mistake when he dumped her
