Goths. They're the subculture associated with darkness and night, and all things morbid and macabre. The word "goth" makes me think of pale men with dark hair and intense eyes... or raven-haired women in black corsets and tall, Victorian-style boots. Mmmmm. Hawt women in corsets...

Uh. What was I talking about again?

Oh yeah! For this contest, we want you to run with the theme of "Goth". You're free to explore the current gothic culture, or you may draw your inspiration from gothic cultures throughout the ages.

The rules of the game are thus: In any style or medium, create an image for the theme, "Goth", in accordance with Worth's illustration contest rules. NO PHOTO TRACING OR PAINTOVERS. You'll have 7 (seven) days for this contest, so make your submission count.

Please take the extra few minutes and list/link your references, as per the illustration guidelines.
