Just A Bit Of Messing Around With Colours.
Just a bit of messing around with colours.
(Reddish Orange and desaturated Green is not a combination I expected to work out, but it kinda did)

☀️Far-Shooting Apollo☀️
The idea for this arose a while (and by while I mean about 4 months) ago, when we were reading the Exposition of the Iliad in class.
I wanted to depict the scene in Book one where Apollo sends a plague to afflict the Acheans by shooting first the mules and dogs, then the men, after Agamemnon denied the release of the priest-daughter Chryseis to her father.

Modern Prometheus
Happy (somewhat belated) Halloween!
I originally planned something more elaborate, but in the end I had to settle for this rather quick doodle of Frankenstein, as I am currently a bit short on time. (Hence also the void background and lack of details in this painting)

Another painting! (Am I actually starting to develop a consistent artstyle??)
I felt in the mood to create some Greek mythology related stuff again, so I painted this portrait of Selene, goddess/personification of the moon.
Both the colour scheme and the motive are somewhat inspired by Jules Louis Machards artwork depicting Selene.
I aimed for a somewhat 'soft', 'warm' look, so I avoided stark contrasts, especially in the face and kept the clothing relatively plain, as not to distract with any complicated pattern.

Happy dictator-perforation-day to those who celebrate 🗡️🗡️🗡️
I pulled an all-nighter to get this out on time, because I consistently underestimate the time it takes me to paint, but I am quite pleased with the finished image
As a sidenote, whilst I did skim over the account of the assassination given by Suetonius in his biography of Caesar, I didn’t pay all to much attention to historical accuracy, deciding to prioritise composition instead (Not that my usual artwork is particularly historically accurate, since whilst I do make an effort at research before starting a piece, I still am just some 19-year-old with barely any qualifications in the relevant fields lol)

Blessed King of Longing
I tried to put a bit more thought into the colours and I must say that I am quite happy with the result.
