As well as allowing me to revise and refine the planned images, this frustrating time spent thinking-without-doing has also greatly increased the complexity of the iconography to a point where I’m now almost glad I’ve had this opportunity to delay the project.

I’ve been doing a lot more background reading — moving on from the original Greek myths of the Erinyes, and onto their appearance in popular culture (Neil Gaiman’s Sandman story arc The Kindly Ones has been a particularly refreshing treatment).

Oh, and I’m still looking for models, so if you want to play a part in this, please get in contact.
