I think this is a broken link... So I cannot respond to your points in
this message.
Still...

As I said, it seems to me that the image has Lilith crucified with Adam
dangling upside down below her (the second being is not nailed to the
cross, but is definately on it...). I'll outline this more tomorrow.
(also, is it just me - or is the cross lying ontop of something?)

Also I'll try to have an mpeg of this cut uploaded tomorrow for anyone
to d/l and view for themselves. You'll notice that it's a continuous
pan, and that the two being *are* connected. Something that theses still
images simply cannot convey properly.

But that does not account for the other image. The arms of which are
both present, but not nailed to the cross. This is a new drawing, and
not simply the standard Lilith image on top of the same pic inverted.

Furthermore, how do you account for the extended torso? I know that
there is a Rei image (with bent legs) behind the lower figure (the
definite Lilith), but there is a vainy texture to them that is missing
from the same Rei image that is by the other figure's right shoulder...

But the other figure *is* there.

-brendan, and now - sleep.
