Description

tumblr ver here!

I've got this wonderful book about all these greek myths and I love it so much
The author is so great with words and he makes all the deities/mortals seem so relatable and NOT omniscient and greek myths are just so well imagined that they are STILL RELEVANT TODAY

also PJATO

I plan on illustrating something from each chapter (a myth) of the book
So here's the best couple ever omg
Orpheus brings the animals out with his kpop sorry I mean greeky music

Then he married Eurydice and settled down so he didn't play music as often any more
One of his SASAENG FANS hunted her down, she ran away and died (wow smooth move) and Orpheus was like 'aw no way man' and he visited Hades down under (not Australia) to get her back. Hades was all 'aw shucks, yer a real tearjerker ok here's Eurydice she'll follow you but my word is only legit if you DONT LOOK BACK EVER ON THE WAY UP TO EARTH.'

He looked back.
everything SUCKS WHY DID IT HAVE TO HAPPEN LIKE THIS BLUBBER BLUBBY BLUB

COMMISSION INFO! :D

Oh gosh third time writing a critique @_@
First off, I will be critiquing you based on this oil-paintish style you have selected to draw, so nothing to style-based or I'll try to keep it to a minimum.
I gave you a 4 for vision because I understand mental images are usually better than the actual outcome. But you have a pretty good sense of where everything goes. I gave you a 4 on originality because I do admit this is pretty original, I've seen more original works. The technique is good, but some things can be improved. For example, the yellow background should be more desaturated or more neutral so the centerpiece can capture people's eyes longer. I gave a 3 on impact because even though it's pretty, it doesn't cause me to think about the deep hidden meaning the artist wants to convey or something.
