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.

Ovid is my favorite author/poet, and this illustration is truly stunning.

This is brilliant. It's so dramatic and powerful. Just a minor critique- I think the left side could be cropped out a little, so that the figures are more centred on the page. Anyways, amazing work!

It makes my mind feel tingles... yet it tears the slightest bit at the heart strings. It speaks of loss or a fleeting moment of ahppiness caputerd before a possible rupture of pain.

Hey, thanks Footer. Well, the idea comes from the text. It's so good that I really didn't have to think much about it. The main problem was the pose.
