The 'Other' Seal Wallpaper

galatheaWith the show airing again and the review writing 'duties' stealing most of my weekend time, arting takes a bit of a backseat at the moment, but yesterday I was lucky and found a bit of time to work on the promised companion piece to my 'The First Seal' wallpaper. Enjoy!
The Last Seal: So, this is the companion piece to 'The First Seal' and deals with Sam breaking the last seal on the door to Lucifer's prison by killing the first demon, Lilith. Unfortunately the wallpaper isn't quite as evocative as its counterpart, but in the end I am just happy I manged to finish something that I didn't completely hate, because at first I thought the wallpaper won't work out at all.
As for composition: Sam looms over Lilith, holding her in his psychic death grip, grim and determined. I took the 'door' metaphor from the show pretty literal and positioned Lilith in front of it to show her function as the last barricade, as she falls dead, the door opens. White light escapes the opened door, heralding the arrival of the fallen angel and Ruby, who orchestrated the escape of the 'lightbringer', awaits him triumphantly. Lucifer's prison is located underneath a convent, so I used a couple of church stocks to emphasise that. Since my manip base for Ruby at the door had a pretty distorted perspective, I went on with it and used some weird angles and perspectives on the other images as well, trying to achieve an Escher-esk feeling, I am not quite sure if that worked though.
