12 Olympians

Journal Entry: Mon May 14, 2007, 9:41 PM
Well, i just finished uploading the first 9 of the 12 Olympians that I've been working on this summer. Its a completely independent project, though it is counting towards school credit since the illustration class I took while abroad in Italy wasn't enough work for me to get credit with MICA. I started them when I was in Florence, but I've colored them all since I've been home (basically at a rate of one every day, which is pretty draining when you work full time as well). I still have Hera, Aphrodite, and Ares to finish, so expect to see those in the next week or so.

I was searching for some art of Aphrodite and I came across your rendition--I fell in love with it, along with all the other gods in your series, and all the art in your gallery! I think my favorite is Demeter, but all of them are breathtaking.

Thanks for sharing all your art! (And I also think you should do a Dionysus. ;))

I really loveall your work with Greek mythology. You really capture each god/goddess' personality and symbols.

I also like your chess piece collection too ;-)

Have you ever read the mangas "You're My Girlfriend" or "Fall In Love Like A Comic"? It's always the 4-5 chapter romance mangas that are some of the best =] They're like adorable one-shots!

But!!! notice you haven't done one (or maybe more... im not sure :) ) Dionysus (i think that is how you spell it) It would be great if you could do it :P if you arent already planning to draw him, that is

I LOVE your work on the Greek gods! I favorited almost all of them! My favorite is your Hephaestus, it could be that it helped me get a perfect grade on a report I did on him not too long ago (it was a Greek mythology report on whichever god we wanted)

I love your work on the Greek(or Hellenes what they call them selfs) gods ^_^

I really like your work. I actually plan on doing digital paintings of the Greek heroes, like Jason, Theseus, Orpheus and others. I have actually done a picture of Jason being trained by Chiron. Awesome stuff I really like your take on these characters.

Very nice gallery with lots of interesting themes about my coyntry's mythology...They are a little bit celtic oriented but they reveal a fine subject knowledge.

Keep it up.
