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.

The myth is very sad, and this drawing really conveys the passion and the despair of the story. Congrats

The combination of imagery and realistic reference is both mystical and to a certain extent quite believable.

QuΓ© pasada! me encanta!!!!!!!! de siempre me ha gustado la historia de dafne (o Daphne) y Apolo. Desde pequeΓ±a la he escuchado muchas veces ya que mi padre me la contaba (mi nombre es Lauraaphne), pero nunca he visto una interpretaciΓ³n tan bonita, me encanta!

I am in the process of reading a book in which the main character often brings up random facts about Greek gods, so this picture had a very drawing effect for me, that and how it is painted so well

Oh gosh, I like mythology, so I'm picky if it comes to illustrations on this topic, but this is totally awesome! Daphne is beautifull and Apollo's back is also filled with beauty. Awesome.
