thanks! I kind of overdid it with his anatomy though....

Looks cool though! Almost like the mythical giant bull covered with scales and tiny wings, and a long mane of hair covering his face so that his deadly gaze is rarely seen. Like a basilisk

I love the classic yet modern feel of this piece. His backwards glance at the maiden riding his back is fantastic.

thanks much! This was fun to work on because i wanted to find more of an obscure Greek Myth. I dug out my old high school Greek Mythology book for this one.

You could always do another one... like Leda and the swan or DanaΓ« and the shower of gold.

thats the story of king minos, where Zeus (or poseidon depending on the version) gives King Minos a bull to show their favor and respect for him and asks that he sacrifices it to the gods to show that he honors and respects them. He decides not to so Zeus (or poseidon) curses his wife to lust after the bull, which later on brings about the minotaur

thanks! I loved working o nthis...I have an "adult" version too where Europa is nude. But I worry about the kids seeing that.

You can always post that version and put a mature audience on it. I dunno, I'm kind of partial to this one though. Nice work though!
