Zeus, I assume, is some sort of uptown banker? Perhaps Ares is a violent gangbanger? Apollo a shining lawyer?

A gift of light, to a people in the dark. To hold high the way into a singular purpose, when faith alone would fail. Stepping forward, to bring them out. Did this kindness bring his downfall, yet in this act, he gave us all. A reason, for being. (Awesome DD work!)

Such strong compostion and colours, I could stare at this for a long time.It has a really organic nature or feel to it, that is contrasted by the sue of such industrial and agonising forms. The expression of the hands... how they are making a connection whilst the faces don't, that's really powerful. Congrats on your DD

You should submit this to the graffiti groups here on DA. This is a really clever piece and I know you would get some really positive feedback from the people who watch those groups, myself included. There's
GlobalSreetArt
and
Graffiti-Kings
These groups are awesome and I'm sure the artists there would appreciate the nod of recognition you're giving them with this picture. You're awesome for this!

Very awesome! I love all of the tiny little details that you wouldn't notice unless you paid very close attention. However, I think you might need to Mature it. It was a little startling because I wasn't expecting some things xD Awesome job though!

I thought of a zombie apocalypse when I first saw it, but I like the Prometheus idea.

Stunning piece of work, I love the attention to detail, the colors and the atmosphere!

This is awesome, but how is this based on the myth exactly?

Prometheus created mankind out of clay, so I wanted to use this as a basis for representing him as an artist.

Ah, I guess I reading the very summed up version. I love the symbolism of this painting! I really can see all the aspects of the myth in it! Great job

This is absolutely stunning...the level of detail you put into this is amazing; great job!! The emotion captured by the broken statues is just perfect. <3

Woah... This really caught my eye. So dark... And at the same time somehow quiet (I quess it's because there isn't happening anything fast and Prometheus is looking at his painting, away from wiewer) and yet very powerful. Amazing work. I can't find anything else to say. I wish I could see this in real life, though, as you tell it looks so much better.

Wooooooooooooow, just incredible. The details and the layers of this piece are just overwhelming, and all the figures and hands and mechanical bits and pieces you've added into here are phenomenal. The lighting is just gorgeous as well even if the colors are skewed; the red and blue contrast is just so awesome to see~
More incredible art! I can't wait to see the other pieces~
