I found it by googling "helios" and I knew I should find the author on DA to pass the compliments. It's a beautiful piece of art.

Speechless with this... I love the way you wrap the fire around him!

May I use this picture for a uni activity project?
I'm planning to use this picture for a campus leadership training promotional video.
I'll be really grateful if you grant me permission.

I do have the Bhagavad Gita, and I am somewhat familiar with the Ramayan (I found illustrated pamphlets in an Indian grocery store---they are like graphic mini-books for children). I bought a few of the series for I love the stories and art.
I am not Hindu by ancestry, but I do revere Hinduism and Sikhism greatly, that is why I find a unique closeness to Shiva...it is unexplainable. I am theist by belief, my symbol of belief is the OM.

This is THE most beautifully rendered illustration of Helios/Sol Sun god I have EVER seen! BRAVO! There are times I just gaze at it and feel the energy of it. I projected it on a large screen in my classroom as a representative of Helios/Sol and my students experience mixed emotions, the majority feel awe. Would you consider illustrating another Greek/Roman god, preferably Ares/Mars?

This is actually Surya, and Indian god.

Oooh, my apologies. I did not recognize 'Surya', and I should have since I am familiar with some of the gods of India (my favorite being Shiva and Durga). Surya is new for me, and I thank you for educating me. Now I know another I am glad to have learned of the Sun god of India. Now I revere Surya along with Shiva and Durga.

You should read the Ramayan, then, if you haven't already. You'd like it.
Out of interest, re you a hindu or do you just love mythology (or both, like me).
