When I originally started designing this I was thinking of a demon/vampire like monster but when looking for ideas for the background I ran across a public domain photograph of a stone Bull's head/man beast, and I started liking the idea of tying this in with Greek Mythology. So maybe she's a relation of the Minotaur, or just offering an unknown /something to him.

I've never taken a piece to a finish that involved blood before and getting it to look right took some time. I wanted it to have a streaky, streaming drippy-ness look but still have the gloppy viscous nature of blood. I left it as a more graphic element, like her dress, letting the outline do the work.

This was a lot of fun and I enjoyed doing something I had thought would be too outside of my comfort zone. :]
