Less Lamia, Noble

Still redoing the Fiend Folio...

The Lamia, Noble is just a souped up version of the D&D lamia--which sucked. I'll repost what I already said...


Sources are conflicted about what exactly a lamia looks like, so they're no help, and for the most part it just seems like a succubus-lite. Many versions have a snake tail, which is cool, but 30 other women in the Manual have a snake tail, so whatever.

The original Greek is extremely good, though--Lamia was a queen who ate children and had the ability to pull her own eyes out and make prophecies. That's where I'd go with it...

That's acrylic on paper.

Got big plans for the other L's so I'll do them later...
