This is an interesting and creative artwork. I like the idea of the good verses bad. I do see the bad one seems to be the one in control. It is well drawn and nicely presented.

Hope it meets MY approval....
This Art [with a capital A] does not require anyone's approval. It can stand on its own way up high where approvals are not necessary. This is absolutely remarkable. Every aspect from the white angel like looking wings to the dark bat like looking wings portraying both good and evil.....to the highly detailed work. Having both female makes it even that more enticing. Having the evil one dominate the good one by placing her on top shows her strength in dominance, if you will. The seduction of good and evil.....I love the title....but who is seducing whom [smile]? What does surprise me though was that you chose the evil one to have the lighter hair and the good one with the darker hair. Actually, not sure why I said that...I wonder if that even matters...
hmmmm think I will research that and check it out....it has me quite intrigued to say the least. I thank you for that.... Love that you decided on a full moon and the drawing of the bat whether it is a mark on the moon itself or if one is actually flying in front of it... either way, perfect addition. I also like how you have the sky a midnight blue and then it turns to lavender in parts and then a deeper purple the closer it gets to the women. Excellent. If I were you, I would take another look at the good ones right arm. Up to where the evil ones hand is at, it is ok, but then the rest of it above the evil ones hand, it just doesn't seem to mesh up right. It is as if they are not connected. Do you see what I mean? If its just my eyes, please forgive me...but if you can see what I am referring to, then maybe work on that before you begin your oil painting....just a gentle suggestion. YOUR ART has all the bells and whistles making it an awesome piece of artistic work. It will be
a sensational oil painting.

By the way, I have been meaning to say this to you for a long time...
"I admire you and I just want to wish you all the best in all your endeavors.
I am sure you will succeed." PAINT ON!!!

    Sheesh the nerve of some people...those on the other site obviously do not know REAL art when they see it and get confused thinking only in a narrow minded way...their loss.....sorry you had to go through that....me-i am looking forward to seeing the painted one.....cheers and carry on. Ignore those negative comments from those others on the other site. They wouldn't know real art even if it slapped them in the face. Big difference between this and porn [heehee]2

Comment from Life is but a dream.


James this is really an excellent artistic and creative piece. It is well drawn (as your work usually is).

I take my hat of to you for having the balls to put this up on a "Christian" site where pilgrims will hide behind the skirt of Jesus....and cry obscene. IT ISN'T.

It is mystery, we can see evil and we can see good and how the two come together to give sensual pleasure...once cancelling out the other.

I can see a bat in the moon, very very very clever...as if there is a queue waiting.

STANDING AND CLAPPING.

Comment from El-mundo


An interesting and unusual but imaginative mixture of fantasy, more specifically forces of good and evil, and erotic art that actually works very well in creating this image of these two women of polar opposites, painted physically with great form and proportions, and good facial and bodily details. Both have their wings that represent which force they fight for, which is a great touch and both are carefully painted and fit into the piece well. The blue/purple accentuates the piece further, with the full moon and wispy clouds completing the piece nicely. Great, creative piece - best of luck in the polls! :)

Hi James thanks for sharing this amazing rendition 'seduction of good and evil' What a fabulous painting .. something unique and truly well rendered. Love the detail in the bodies poised upon the blanket of white.. The shading and the highlights in their flesh is excellent and works effectively, giving them a slender and appealing appearance . The breasts are beautifully painted and the girl's hands softs touching them add to the sensuality within. Great detail and bone structure in their bodies. and the intertwined legs compliments the feeling coming from the painting. I love the black and gold circling border that forms an appealing framework around the bodies. The addition of the moon shining above captures that feeling of good and evil in a soulful kind of way. mystical and impressive as the cloudy essence of white clouds drifts around it. The purple tonings splashed around in strategic places gives a nice emotion to the scene and provides good contrast to the black and white hues. .. There is a good feeling of depth of field in your painting which adds to its appeal. Great work James. an excellent rendition and a joy to review. cheers mel

'Way Cool',James!
: )
While I have my own ideas about the concepts of 'good and evil' when they're combined with 'lustful behavior' ( which I won't get into here! ) I'm really enjoying this new pastel creation of your's,my friend! : D
It reminds me of my old ballpoint pen drawing 'Romancing the Incubus' ( which I MIGHT post here on FAR someday! ) and the plot highlight of a somewhat infamous 'erotic cartoon' story that was featured in the classic underground comic book 'Cherry Poptart' several decades ago!
It's a 'Good Show' indeed,buddy! : D

Comment from Pamela Ruggiero


Girl on girl. I have no problems with any way of living as long as nobody gets hurt. Quite an enterprising painting. What is the significance of the bat wings? Is the girl on top wearing them? And, I see the bat in the moon. Nice composition. Well framed. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image
