Artist's Comments

Unusual title, yes? It wasn't called that originally, of course, but simply WIP: Perseus and Andromeda; until too many viewers simply favourite without reading the description or seeing the finished piece. :no:

*The final illustration is here:[link] *
_______________

A rough for a sample illustration for Templar Publishing of the Perseus and andromeda myth.

Bellerophon, of course, was the original captor and rider of Pegasus. Thanks to the Renaissance, however, we now have versions in which Perseus, the slayer of Medusa the gorgon, is given the winged horse to aid his rescue of Andromeda.

In my highschool latin class, my name was Andromeda.

You should paint this brilliant drawing of yours!

That's lovely to know.:)

I think I mentioned in my note that this is the rough and that there will indeed be a final version in colour. :)

Fabulous - I love how well it flows, and the detail is stunning. I'm really into mythology and I'm always so happy when I come across amazing pieces like this. And this is sort of random, but I really like Andromeda's pose here - so often she's depicted sort of draped across a rock, so having her kneeling instead is both refreshingly different and very emotive. Ceto looks great as well.
