Artist's Comments

Ἀφροδίτη

Aphrodite (Venus) is the classical Greek goddess of love and beauty. According to Greek oral poet Hesiod, she was born when Uranus was castrated by his son Cronus. Cronus threw his severed genitals into the sea, and from the aphros (sea foam) arose Aphrodite.
Aphrodite had no childhood: in every image and each reference she is born adult, nubile, and infinitely desirable. Aphrodite, in many of the late anecdotal myths involving her, is characterized as vain, ill-tempered and easily offended.(more info here [link])

based on a portrait by :iconbye-bye-omoide: and you can see it here [link]

nobody cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy...
:iconingapinguin:
really awesome ... I like it when you give some background information like that because it gives a deeper meaning to what you draw - and this piece really reflects that she's "infinitely desirable" but also "vain, ill-tempered and easily offended" ... really interesting :clap: I also like the position of the red colour which is directly beneath her eye and the fact that it only covers her cheek and not her lips or nose or something ... in a different context, this could be easily interpreted as bloody tears although that might be a bit far-fetched here =P altogether, I like this one very much :clap: :clap:

And in their triumph die

Which, as they kiss, consume."

This is amazing, great job!

This is absolutely stunning. Is there any way I could buy this as a print ?
:icontristan-despero:
Now this is probably one of the best in this series :) It feels so active and alive. Great work!
