Tom Riddle and Nagini. The theme here is how to escape death, so the religious imagery is extremely intentional. The cathedral windows are probably the most archetictually complex background I've attempted yet, but they were fun. Thanks to everyone who offered crits and suggestions on how to fix the problems I had early with this picture! This picture has a lot of texture in it which it loses when I shrink it down. If you want a closer look, check out the detail.
