An image from you latent subconscious..

The *sacrifice* seeming for the cause of gaining a boon?

But the victim manages to still look pure and needing if aid.

Nothing lewd here..

Great pic!

Thanks, I’m glad you like it.!!

I hadn’t seen the image you mention but I’ve just found it on a google and it’s a great picture. I wonder who the artist was?

First of all, fantastic work!

Now, I can help you a little. This has been used in the "Rainha da Magia Negra" (Queen of Black Magic) by the Portuguese Heavy Metal band Midnight Priest.
They're from my town, and I immediately recognized the picture.

Glad I could help, regards!

Interestingly, I've had you in my "watched" list for quite a while, Alan, but never really made the connection between this gorgeous cover art and yourself.

I see some recent comments on this picture, but it seems no one has identified the album yet, so here goes: it was used for Midnight Priest's 2009 EP "Rainha da Magia Negra" ([link]), a very cool album inspired by 80s NWOBHM bans such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Black Sabbath. It's a portuguese band, and the album is fully sung in Portuguese - very much worth a listen if you're into old school Heavy Metal.

April's Challenge: Stalk a $taffer or CV Results

*Kneeling-Glory May 15, 2012 64 comments

In April, we asked group members to stalk a CV or $taff member to help dispel the myth that these people are too important for everyday deviants to get to know.
