Description
This is the first illustration I did for the book. It was a kind of exam, to decide if I was going to do the illustrations or not. The liked a lot, the only problem being the nudity, but they decided very soon that they liked the way it is. so I disn't have to change it.Watercolor and a bit of photoshop.

Thats fantastic work. well done fella
And dont worry about the nudity, art loves nudity, the modern society sees every nude body as a sexual thing, while it is not, a body is so much more.

Absolutely stunning! Portrays all the "magic" and beaty that mithological gods have! (or that I imagine them having)

This is absolutely beautiful. Anthro-trees are done often, but I think it's the perspective, movement, and poses in this one that make it so powerful and lifelike.

Very beautiful, you've captured this myth perfectly, I can actually feel Apollo's sorrow. I really feel sorry for the guy. All his love relationships ended so bad, this one I find the worst.
