Throughout the dawn of human history, humans had to make sacrifices. Many believe that some would sacrifice for a reprieve or to reach something greater than they already have while others will use it as a scapegoat and go as far as to use other individuals to achieve their goals. Some had to make personal sacrifices for their families or for their duties to the causes. Others have had to make the ultimate sacrifice; and pay with their lives.is an example of such an individual who had to make such a decision. Whether she was forced to perform the ritual or had done it on her own accord is up to the viewer.As with many of *moonxels illustrations, this deviation is rich in detail. The painted textures on the pedestal have clearly taken a long period of time and the organic walls appear as slimy and grotesque as they are depicted. The flowing silk-like garment over the female figure can almost be imagined flowing gently upon her motionless body as the humanoid alien figure closes in on her supple frame and...sorry lost my train of thought. I can also see a great use of spectral lighting that covers the entire area with the blinding white light cascading over the female figure and the ominous dark yellow light that shrouds the monstrous silhouette in the background. The atmosphere is so thick it could be cut with a knife. One small issue, some of the textures near the top of the image almost appear to be hovering over the cavern walls, it looks a bit off putting when compared to the quality of the rest of the design.All in all, the piece is well put together and generally looks great. The design style carries so much sci-fi influence, it can't helped but be admired. Good work once more *moonxels! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="26" height="18" alt="" title="I salute you!"/>
