Re: Image Thread
The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. The URL links to a newspaper story, but check out the slide show that comes with it. The paintings are fantabulously over-the-top religion-on-LSD stuff, Christ next door to Sophia, "Seraphic Transport Docking on the Third Eye," lots of imagery.
In In Nomine, of course, one wonders what a "Seraphic Transport" might be, how the docking is achieved, and what a Third eye consists of... |

Re: Image Thread
A painting: "Absinthe Drinker," by Viktor Oliva. A translucent green woman keeps a morose-looking drinker company. Absinthe and its connotations of madness might well produce a related Ethereal spirit or power a demonic Word, I do believe. Tempter of Gluttony? Very possible. Ethereal goddess of absinthe? Definitely!

Tempter of Drugs would be my first reaction here, since the point for most absinthe users was the altered state it creates--not consumption for the sake of consumption, as Gluttony might promote. On the other hand, "the green fairy" was a romanticized personification of absinthe: an ethereal consistent with the name might also have existed in the IN universe, at least while the drug was still popular enough. (Ethereals do depend on belief to survive, after all!)

Re: Image Thread
I don't post a lot of photos of particular people, but this image of a dancer warming up in his apartment struck my fancy. A lot of Heaven's work happens in anonymous apartments like that...

Re: Image Thread
Some pictures that work well for locations in Hell: some underground catacombs in a Russian fortress used for the testing of napalm, where the bricks flowed. I think we can imagine what this might have been like inside, the inferno of heat raging, reflecting in this buried oven, the very walls melting into sharp-toothed stalactites above...
...and then, afterward, the heat dies and the bitter cold returns... |

And somewhere, on the edge of the Marches, the Tower keeps watch.
