The Predictable Succubus Picture

Here's a picture I was working on a while ago: a succubus!
It's a succubus!
A lot of the character-style images I do tend to be complex and detailed.  This particular one has sections from about five different products available to users of Daz Studio 3 (which I use) and Poser (which I don't).'

Really I'm just posting it here to test out the thumbnail and hosting capabilities of the image host I'm using.

Succubi are fairly common in mythology and have been since the heydays of ancient Judaism.  Lilith was said to be Adam's first wife, who refused to remain with him and later slept with an archangel.  This somehow resulted in her becoming the first succubus (the name of which comes from a Late Latin word, succubu, which means 'strumpet' and ultimately derives from the verb cubare, 'to lie', prefixed with sub-, 'under').

Does this mean that if Lilith had taken the Archangel Samael in cowgirl style she might have become the first incubus (in-, 'on') instead?  The mind boggles...

Either way, this succubus has nice hips.  I think, anyway.
