Description The painter threw down his brushes, and turned away from the hated portrait. His shoulders sagged and his forearms ached. He could not finish. He would not.


This is the magnum opus of my work so far. I was inspired by a painting (I think) that I saw years ago of a sculptor being kissed by his sculpture, which had partially come to life. EDIT: Courtesy of ~Van-Stein , the elusive painting I'm referring to is actually Jean-Leon Gerome’s β€œPygmalion & Galatea." It's breathing-taking. Check it out.

I agonized over details on this one, and most came from my imagination. Of course, there is a very strong ACII influence, which I might change someday to make it more my own. So yeah, da Vinci is ripped. But it should give the L/E shipper fans something to cry/smile about. Is Ezio really coming alive, or is it just the desire of Leo?

Listened to this: [link] . It follows the range of emotions I thought Leo would be going through.

I'm glad you found it touching. I listened to lots of sad music while painting it.

Van-Stein [2011-01-28 01:50:35 +0000 UTC]

You probably saw a painting of the Pygmalion myth. Story goes that he made a sculpture and fell in love with it, so Aphrodite brought it to life and they lived happily ever after. Think you conveyed that pretty well!

I have been searching for the elusive painting for several years now, and finally discovered that it was Jean-Leon Gerome’s β€œPygmalion & Galatea," thanks to your comment.

Hmm... Leonardo wasn't just an artist. He was an engineer and built stuff too. So methinks the ripped part would be moderately accurate.
