Avenging Sisters

Description

Meet Alecto, "the implacable or unceasing anger" and Tisiphone, "avenging murder". In Greek mythology they were Erinyes "( Erinys; literally "the avengers") female deities of vengeance." <-- that's from wikipedia, well, except for the "meet them" part.
I chose these two deities because they are responsible for punishing people for the crimes against other people (as opposed to against the gods). "Alecto is the Erinys with the job of castigating the moral crimes (such as anger), especially if they are against other people" and Tisiphone "was the one who punished crimes of murder: parricide, fratricide and homicide". <-- also from the wiki.

Yes, they are about to punish that planet, which is filled only with bad things, mind you! Yes, the one that looks really inconspicuous....

On another more serious note, I realize now that I could have put Alecto (the one on the right) in a different perspective, dammit, but since the perspective part of this was the hardest for me( I'm awful with perspective and light/shadow) I give up...

I sort of used the tut from here -> [link] for them (the asteroids)

And brushes from here(for the debris around the girls, yes, dammit, they are ladies!) [link] from :iconzigabooooo:

Please comment, I would really like to improve as I'm just learning now to draw. Space art is one of my greatest loves!

Photoshop CS 5 extended and Wacom (yesssssss, I am broke now :crazy: )

I am forgetting something, I just know it...

Ah, yes! That constellation on the right is Scorpio. Because I'm a scorpio and I had a really big creative block after thinking about how to make the asteroids and the system. This can be seen in the stars too....I was kinda tired.
Changed the stars, they looked creepy.
