Erosby ~yumedust

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / People / Portraits

I started this painting in the summer some time, and in between not having time and other art I never got around to finishing it.
If I don't finish a painting in a short timeline there's a good risk of me getting bored with it, which is sort of what happened with this one, but I picked it up again in November for whatever reason, fiddled with it and it finished it.
This is Eros, the god of love in Greek mythology (though better known for his Roman role as Cupid), he is the son of Aphrodite and Ares. This was inspired by my browsing through Bouguereau paintings on my harddrive, and then re-inspired by a Dollfie I had who was named Eros
Thanks for looking~!

There is a close-up and a step-by-step on my website, for those who are interested. [link]

Eros by =yumedust is attractive and beautiful at the same time. In this piece of art we can feel the cool air and the magical effect of this wonderful painting. It's so tender, peaceful and soft that makes you want to touch the feathers for real. ( Suggested by !FunkyButterfly and Featured by `JunkbyJen )

Nice art! I would like to ask for permission if it's okay to have your art be part of my list on my site? I am looking forward to feature some great gods and goddesses on my site. You can check out my site here, at the bottom. Of course I'll put a credit that this is your own art.
