The Devil is another of the popularly misunderstood cards of the Tarot, perhaps second only to Death in this category. In our modern world we do not like to think that there is a seed of negativity in everyone, so we assume that anything bad that happens must be the work of some outside Devil, who is to be feared and shunned. But really, people do not do bad things because a force outside them is controlling their actions. They do bad things because the negative part of their own personality is expressing itself. To deny this side of yourself is to give it power over you, and to give it free reign over your life will eventually destroy you.
The symbolic portrayal of the Devil in the Tarot is a clear mockery of two previous Major Arcana, the Lovers and the Hierophant. The former parody is perhaps the more obvious. Where the angel hovers on the Lovers, the Devil stands on his card, cursing the man and woman rather than blessing them. They who were once connected to each other by love are now attached to the Devil by their chains of lust and ignorance. The Devil's hand mimics the gesture of the Hierophant, but perverts it. The true Hierophant offers spiritual wisdom and beckons to us with an open hand. The Devil's gesture hides his true intentions of hurtful wisdom - not really wisdom at all.

Nice! The picture in SBS step 2 is brilliant. You have really creative ideas for making the photos that you need for your photoshop art!

Kind of creepy, but real.... like your imagination...!
True, it is creepy, that's what I was going for in this one.

Song is by Coldplay. Hope you like it.
-EDIT- fixed the too dark problem :) (5 years and 3271 days ago)
Too dark. Half of your image is so dark, it's very hard to see what is going on, or what you are trying to communicate. Particularly the RH side. The building looks like a facade, with no real back to it, the stars seem to jam right up against the lit front, with the remaining blackness on the right just "dead space."
The figures are almost impossible to make out as a couple, the light swirl is too dominant.
Beautiful concept, just too "moody," with not enough consistent illumination for the viewer to clearly appreciate your efforts.
instead of give the author such negative comment, you could give some advice to improve the image mossyb, maybe its just someone how just get started with ps and then u need some build up comments and not that kind ur give
coldplay 4ever good job
The idea is good, however the image is very dark. Its almost like the saturation and contrast are making this image darker.
With the couple in the foreground, if you took a bit of the sparkles around them off, then they would be a little bit more clearer as well, the you may not need to lighten the image too much more
Goodluck anyway author
Lovely image and great concept ... I agree it is a little dark but only a little ... I have seen a night sky where the stars stand out against a "void" when there is something that you cannot quite make out in front of them. I think a little lightening and some minor toning down of the sparkles would enhance the image .
To lighten you can apply a Levels adjustment layer and brighten it up so the image is "too" light ... then mask out what you don't want to lighten and set opacity to get it just right ...that is if you want to
EDIT: Better!
i think its fine dark... its night time with no lights really... its supposed to be dark. i wouldnt lighten it up any more... if you must go that route in one way or another, instead bring out more details at the focal points to make them more pronounced, and bring in a little more detail in the darker parts to keep it balanced.
Very very nice piece of work...best of luck author

Good! I really like it. Sources need a bit of shadows... Try darkening the lover body parts...
That.. is.. awesome! The image looks fantastic! Follow Toca's sound advice and this image will be perfect. Well done!
great job,nice and smooth blending
Darkened the lower part of the girl as suggested. Thanks for the suggestion.
More shading! (And try to get rid of the girl's outline...).
Great imagine and wonderful fitting of the masks on your outside sources! I would follow the other suggestions and this would be a top notch entry
