That's really cool! It looks like you put a lot of time and detail into this one. I've always thought that the world destroys and creates itself in cycles. maybe not literally, but still...

Thank you! It's certainly a recuring idea, most mythologies involve some sort of cycle, whether literal or metaphorical.

Yeah it took a while, but it was worth it!
And most people haven't heard of this myth, which is one of the reasons I decided to paint it.
