Description
When I saw Da Vinci's version(s) of Leda, the mother of Helen of troy, I just had to do one myself. It's not exactly perfect, but I'm pretty happy with it. I might re-do it someday, but for now I'm content with what I've got.Related content

Woah great portrait
I love the style, the nose and the eyes look a bit weird though, but I can live with that considering the rest of it is really beatiful..

Oh, excellent - I had to full view this to get a good look. I've always loved Leda - my Mum has had the poster of Da Vinci's preparatory sketches for Leda and the Swan hanging in her room since before I can remember. It's one of those pictures you just stare at for ages and think 'how? Just...how??' Her HAIR! How on earth did he do it? Da Vinci truely was a genius. Anyway, this is really nice, you've managed to capture some of that enigmatic Da Vinci expression in her eyes and mouth. Good job!

I know! I've done that. Me and my mom once just stood, staring open-mouthed at a picture of it.
Thanks for the compliment.^_^
