Description Ashtaroth was usually depicted as an ugly demon. He was the Treasurer of Hell, and was also the Grand Duke of its western regions. He encouraged sloth and idleness.

Taken from some book of demonology...

I think the blur helps, it sits the wp in the background. In turn helps you get on with what you're doing before you get sucked in....., perhaps not, it's too good

very Giger-esque.... I love it! You seem to have this style down pretty solid, I'd enjoy more work like this from you in the future, if possible.

ooh, I'm all backwards -- saw this one after I viewed LILITH.

Well, I will certainly say 3 things:
1. They loan themselves excellently to one another.
2. Your consistency is admirable.
3. I love this one too!

(sneaks in 4...)
4. I will call it a shield as I don't quite know what to make of it but, I absolutely love the twist in its outer rim (deja-vu, loved the outer rim or LILITH also, like I said, consistent).

The mind boggles *

I'm not really into that Dark-Ish, but what i see here is looking quite good. I see u have overboard your style (comic and now Organic). I like
artists who take their art to "all" limits. That shows me that there is no limit in Art . Thanx Thief6. I can feel the balance. WOW!

My pencil weights a ton!

Yeah, I see a lot of Giger type textures in this piece, and the colors emanate the same vibe. Not that that's a bad thing, in that it's a very cool style, and you've pulled it off well. Nice use of the circle as the central point, as the eye is lead around it, and to the various other parts adjoined to it.

I have to admit, it's funny to me that the treasurer of Hell encouraged sloth and idleness. How ya gonna make money bein' all lazy lidat!? Though it sounds like Lucifer wisend up, in that Astaroth was the treasurer... heh heh... though how did they know this Astaroth was the treasurer? Does Hell send out a yearly pamphlet with it's board of directors or something?

Aside from that, great piece Thief!

wow, nice piece here. Very dark and technoish. Could use some sharpening as vm said though- it'll make it look a whole lot better.

This is a wicked piece thief6! I love those horizontal lines which lend a misty look to the whole picture, and the colours blend to show the different shades of darkness. Question; what's the circly thing?

It's a bit too blurry I think. If it were sharper i'd say this really kicks ass : )

besides that I can see the technical skill you show here, and it's original too.
