Stunning
Typical red-headed vampire.
Lets say that someone has broken 7-9 of the 10 commandments (I not fully sure if 2 commandments were fully broken – there is some room for interpretation).
Which level of hell can one expect as a minimum.
I… errr… my friend would like to know where to tell his friends send birthday cards and invites to.
This is beautiful.
Why it’s NSFW? It’s an art, cannot be NSFW
Besides, no tits, no balls (balls not touching also), so why?
@asymon: it’s the creepy dude in the bottom right that makes it NSFW
@asymon: C’mon. In the U.S. at least a bare ass is a big deal to some people, and to say art can’t be NSFW is laughable. We’ve had people who hold public office cover up monuments because bare breasts make them uncomfortable. Some people are really uptight about any kind of nudity, and chances are someone browsing MCS works for one of them.
@Gouki4u:
Thank goodness that those people you describe are no longer in public office! Bastard covered up Lady Justice because her boobies were offensive. When’s the last time anyone looked at that statue and thought “Oooh, tits!”?
Damn, I’ve got to re-read these books. It’s been years sense I picked up The Divine Comedy..
@asymon: “at’s an art!” <- Whut?
But this is definately an awesome art.
Hmmm… when I read the title and saw it was NSFW, I first thought it would be a Devil May Cry slash pic, then I noticed the date and the classical art tag. I’m sure somebody somewhere shopped this to feature the DMC version of the siblings.
Bouguereau’s works that were inspired by mythology, literature and religion have a unique energy, as he often used dynamic and striking poses in them combined with masterful lighting and a subtle yet vibrant palette. This can clearly be seen here with this depiction of the infamous Muay Thai Kick to the Back/Vampire Neck Bite combo.
@kostoglotov: True that!
It’s been a long time since I’ve the Inferno and I’m wondering what circle this is and what sin is being punished.
err *I’ve read the*
@nyokki: So Nyokki, I herd u leik accidentally the Inferno. Was it bad?
@nyokki: if I recall correctly, the 8th was the first level they saw actual demons, which is flying in the back and I think thats fraud. So yeah. Last time I read that I was 16…so its been 11 years or so.
@Drunkin: Damnit, now I’m gonna have to check. grrr
@Phyreblade: So bad it was good….mmmmm…wut? Oh yeah, I hit it.
