Very cool! I love the painterly strokes. I thought it was traditional art at first.

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!

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.
You can read more information here 
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.

Great image, very Mercyful Fate-esque, and though you might not have heard the band whose CD has that cover, it is plain good heavy metal! Cheers for the brilliant work!
