Description

Again a piece of my own art.
The Fifteenth in Line.
A bit erotic, a bit of Phantasy.
I'd like to share here.
Hope you like it

This fifteenth one I reveal here is the piece I called;
"The Sphinx"
This piece was made from a living model, her name was Esmerelda. Made in 1994. 
This girl was weird and intelligent, not ugly, but not beautiful like a model or so either. She had something that was questioning. An effect she later confessed many seem to notice with her. She was really enjoyed by the art I made of here. And later even bought a neckchain with a tiny sphinx on it as her symbol.

There is a real riddle in this art, that requires some wicked thinking;

What Streams and cannot Slow, Stop or Reverse, but you always travel in it?

The Answer of this typical Sphinx riddle is hidden within the art...


What I dislike of this piece is the back-end and hind legs of the creature, they are way too stiff an surreal.

I did this with a Bicballpoint on lined paper (actually between my administrative work between customers and work when I was bored, and cut the art out later). 
My initial idea was creating interesting letterpaper adorned with illustrations, but the art slowly grew and grew, until it covered almost all of the paper.

26-09-2021 made a new scan, much more details. Now the answer can be found and finally read 
Pity the original suffered some water damage in my homeless years

Wonderful.  The wings are really incredible.  I think the paws need something though.
