Tim may not think so, but when it comes to creatures he has one of the most vivid imaginations, and he can really bring them to life on paper. I am never really let down with his work. This will be interesting to see completed. Do you know his plans, coloring or is he going just inks?

Is that Claire? Is this a possible scene from Faust? Pretty cool. Oh, and I agree: that hand pose seems kind of cheesey, like "Rock and Roll, dude!"

I was curious about the title, Goat of Mendes so thought I would check it out. Found all kinds of info from the laughable to venomous diatribe to the scholarly. Just some fluff for your amusement. The Goat of Mendes symbol is often confused with Levi's depiction of the Templar icon Baphomet, which was never presented as a symbol of evil, but of harmony, redemption, and union with the divine. Nevertheless, the two are confused so often it is almost impossible to separate them. The name Goat of Mendes comes from a connection Levi made between the Templar Baphomet, the Goat of the witch's Sabbat (as depicted in popular art), and the Egyptian god Ammon of Mendes, Egypt, which Levi believed had been an emblem of fertility and sexual freedom.Later, it was determined that Levi's connection was wrong—Ammon was represented by a ram, not a goat—but the confusion remains to this day. altreligion.about.com/library/glossary/symbols/bldefsbaphomet.htmThe so-called "Mendes Pentacle" or Sabbatic Goat emblem was devised in the 1950s and falsely attributed to the nineteenth century occultist Elipas Levi. It is also the official insignia for the Church of Satan, chosen by Dr. Anton Szandor LaVey. Satanists who follow the philosophies of LaVey often adorn themselves with the sigil. The Hebrew letters at each of the points of the pentagram read "לִוְיָתָן" starting from the lowest point and reading counter-clockwise. Translated, this is Leviathan, a sea creature figuring in Judaic mythology. Leviathan has many complex meanings, many of which apply to its use in the Sigil of Baphomet. Leviathan is commonly associated with Satan, and the fourth book of the Satanic Bible is named the Book of Leviathan. In 1966, a simplified version of the Goat of Mendes symbol was adopted as the icon of Anton Lavey's Church of Satan and the emblem is now often referred to a the Judas Goat by modern Satanists. Although versions of the Sigil of Baphomet appear as early as the 1897 book “La Clef de la Magie Noire” by Stanislas de Guaita, the variant in common use today was designed for use by the Church of Satan, and is known as the Hell's Kitchen Baphomet. This variant is copyrighted by the Church of Satan and cannot legally be reproduced without permission. Historic variants are in the public domain.

I'm digging it. I have to agree the second modified version works much better.
