Lyssa the clockwork golem from behind.
A closeup of Lyssa's spinal prosthetic.
The golem invokes cider, and later banishes cider. There's a nice closeup of the banishing pentacle on her left hand, and the Hebrew word "AMETH" (aleph-mem-tzaddi-hod, meaning 'life') on her forehad.
A closeup of the invoking hexagram on Lyssa's right hand. I went with the "descending into matter / striving toward divinity" interpretation of the Seal of Solomon when designing this sigil. If you look closely, you can see the symbols for capacitors worked into the inner lines of the hexagram and the symbols for power supplies in the second/inner circle. The third circle contains the symbols for antennae, in the sense of transmitting signals (as opposed to recieving signals).
Unfortunately, this image didn't turn out terribly well - it's of the banishing pentacle on Lyssa's left hand. I used the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram as the basis for this sigil, transliterating part of the Quabbalistic Cross ("Ateh malkuth ve-geburah ve-gedulah...") into Hebrew as best I could without a lexicon to balance the circuitry I installed on her right side. On the left is a better view of the banishing pentacle.
A clockwork heart.
It follows orders well.
Awaiting instructions.
What, you thought the Tree of Life in the opening of Eva was just for show?
The Doctor as Sumeragi Subaru.
Here's me, slutting it up.
As much as I love this post, it's downright painful.
For the first time in a long while, I got to be painted up, too. Here's a distance view of my back piece. In this image, you can see how it flows across my back. You can also see the rose at the back of my neck and the petals more clearly. The branch-sword at the centre of my spine is also clearly visible.
