Thanks to the suggestions I received here (and very special thanks to RicoD, you're great, man!), I decided to take down the earlier version of this piece, work on it some more and post the revised version.

Lesson of the day: *never* skip the WIP forum...

And so the Succubus and her pet Hellound come again: the gate has been moved slightly, so that isn't full center on the dog's head and he's got some stronger highlights.

Note: the out-of-focus background is fully intentional, I did not want the piece to have the same level of detail all over.
