A N K A P O L O
Strange Woman
My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed
Those verses are gotten from Proverbs chapter 5 the Holy Bible and this image depicts the resemblance of the strange woman luring young men to her abode, with her seductive charisma, only to end up snatching their soul(illustrated with the skull she's holding). I call her the strange woman.
I love the art, entwined in precision yet heavy in depth.
Thanks for the contest
Cheers
Interesting, I never imagined that my image would arouse biblical allegory... Perhaps the verses refer to Lilith?. Entry accepted! Thank you very much!
Perhaps...
Thank you too
"Moonalice"
Her curve shows kind but it is evil. You don't know whether those are hands of a healer or a slayer. A tantalizing tribe girl.
Yes, the hands gesture in a slightly threatening manner, i'm glad you noticed! and thank you for your entry!
"The Vengeful Pariah"
It was the first thought that came to my mind after seeing the skull in her right hand, the long fingernails and hair obscuring her face. The story behind the mysterious woman in this drawing is one marred with complexity, despair and resilience.
She was raised to be the kind of woman that everyone else in her village expects her to be. She comes from a place and time when women are expected to do what is expected of them and nothing more.
She dares to be different and what she wants to be, which in turn results in her village turning on her. Eventually, it leads to her family being killed and she escapes unharmed.
While she learns to provide for herself, she begins down her path of vengeance, justice for her family who were killed when all they did was raise her and love her as best as they knew.
The skull in her hand is symbolic and she carries it with her wherever she goes, it is one of many from the future victims she will claim in her attempt to redefine the village and save other women from the same fate she has experienced.
She has become a legend in her village, people are calling her The Vengeful Pariah.
Epic! I mean it! You just added several more layers and dimensions to the character. Thank you so much!
Entry accepted!
"Shamaness"
I saw here a focused woman of exceptional beauty who is preparing for some kind of ritual. She spreads magical energy around herself, sinking herself into a trance. Perhaps she is wandering in the afterlife world and communicating with ancestors spirits with the help of the skull which she holds in her hand?

This is a magnificent piece! Many kudos for your brilliant work!
Upvoted & Resteemed!
"Midnight Voodoo Bowling Team"
I think my title is fairly self-explanatory, but just in case you need more... This mysterious woman, in the moonlight looks like she is carefully walking towards her turn to roll that skull. She is giving her turn some serious contemplation, too - very serious.
This is a beautiful drawing. Congrats!
Whoa! I was going to try to come up with something but this answer is too perfect. Nothing I could think up would top "Midnight Voodoo Bowling Team." It's all I can see now! 😀 Brilliant!!! And I LOVE the art! Holy damn, woman. You're amazing!
LOL I do crack up every time I read it, even though, technically, this is not how one holds a bowling ball... but hey, its a bowling skull so the rules may be different :D Still I have no doubt that with your lyrical talent you can make a great entry.
And thank you so much for being the angel that blessed me into damnation! ❤️
Burst out laughing! You are the proof to my theory - that the quality of humor in comments is proportional to their reputation score :)
Thank you! Entry accepted.

That's so sweet of you, thank you for your kind words.
You deserve even more my friend
First of all that beautiful illustration and very striking, I congratulate you friend. The name chosen for this work of art is:
Beautiful death in paradise
I send you a big hug from Venezuela
Thank you very much @musicayfarandula! 🤗
There are some paradise-like places in your country, I hope to see them one day.
you entry is accepted :)
"Hela"
Hela is a creature born in Jotunheim. She is the daughter of Loki with the giant Angrbooa. Hela appointed Odin as the Goddess of Death and was in charge of the nature of the dead in Hel and Nifheim. Despite his power, Hela often tried to extend his power by attacking Valhalla. It caused him to often confront Odin and Thor.
Nice! I love Nordic mythology! thank you, great entry!
Waxing Moon Goddess
love Waxing Moon!
this game will ALWAYS be awesome. SUCH great entries! And such a fine piece of work :) x
thank you @BasilMarples! really enjoy doing it too! when ever i have a hard time with names I just post it as a contest. But ut does get hard to choose at then end. Not as hard as it was the last time though - uff!
I love your style btw, this is a beautiful piece, very dark and light at the same time. How long did it take to finish?
It took me a few hours to draw this, and then a couple more just making some corrections digitally.
Thank you so much for your kind and reflective comment.
Native Venus
I think that is perfect because it has the curves and sensuality of the Venus, also the roman mythology represents the beauty, love and passion with the goddes Venus. And the native because looking at her pose, her jewelry, the details in her long natural hair and the ink in her leg reminds me a little to Pocahontas, how she related to the wind and the nature.
Your drawing is beautiful, I loved it! :)
Great Entry, thank you so much! These different myths and geo-historical sources were exactly why it was so hard for me to come up with a suitable name.

Very nice drawing! When looking at it, it gives me the sensation of something erotic yet dangerous..she is the beauty of the village and at the same time, she's the top predator...
My entry has to be The Black Widow!
Very cool! Thank you, I like how you interpret the drawing. Entry accepted!
Amazing drawing!!! I makes me think of Kali, Indian Goddess
Wow, i did't even think about Kali! But you're onto something! Thank you, entry accepted!
Vengeance
She walked outside fierce. Even though she worked in the after hours business, it never gave him the right to treat her that way. She was a human too, and he had not one second acknowledged that.
So with their next appointment she had snuck something into his drink, and while he was sleeping she let the pigs in on him. This souvenir she would take from him. It was time for justice
wow, your interpretation gave me chills. Men, beware of women's' vengeance it comes with extra vengeance on the side! XD ... thank you for the entry @karinxxl!
Women should never be underestimated ;)))
Especially not when they look so strong and fierce like your lady here!
Death is a woman
A feminine figure who moves in a creepy sort of way, with hair covering her face concealing her identity. Around her wrists are bracelets that jiggle with each step she takes, which is sure to send fear into the hearts of the weak. The skull she carries is her symbol. She is the bringer of death, a woman of mystery and danger.
I ilke your interpretation, I can imagine her walking in the way you described, its almost like a scene from a dark anime.
Beauty In The Eyes of the Beholder
A epic depiction of a woman sowing justice upon those willing to rape and genitally mutilate the women of Africa.
(If that title should happen to win you can donate that SBD to a Steem based charity of your choosing)
Powerful! thank you so much for your entry, that's also really kind of you! 🙌
"Deadly Seduction "
She sways her hips enticingly, her long hair and nails moves invitingly. The luscious shape of her breast and body hides the main reason she beckons on you. "Death!" That's what she carries and she hides it right behind her bosom.
Thank you for your entry, beautiful description :)
Kali's "gift"
Thank you @yidneth, I can definitely see Kali-esque quality to her
My entry will be "The Goddess of Delusion".
Hi, thank you for your comment, but it didn't meet the requirements to participate in the contest. You may try again if you wish.
Social normality is for suckers.
And we need them too :D

Hi @achmadyani, i appreciate your comment, but unfortunately I think that your entry is not as competitive as some of the others. You may try again if you wish.
