Corelli Hall of the Sphinxes 1976


This is a panel from a page that I hoped might be in a Corelli graphic adaptation. This scene was described by the author in detail: a grandiose ancient temple, lined with stone sphinxes, where the Snake Priestess presides. The figure in the blue in front is our hero, Theo the modern poet. In the distance by the purple gateway is the Priestess along with the Poet Laureate Sah-Luma. They are looking at a shiny black crystal occult vision disc. I didn't continue with the project, and I wasn't satisfied with this effort, either.
