I really like how you portrayed it, the look is polished and well blended imo. I have an affection for themes revolving around the River Styx for some reason and have wanted to do a piece around this subject. One of my pieces was partly inspired by Charon that paddles the boat on the river Styx... I mixed other myths with it but was rather satisfied with the overall look Here is the piece [link]

oh very nice! Most people dont know about it and almost everyone has asked me where i got the name and idea and stuff and i have to tell the whole story haha its ok tho i love that myth most of all!

Mythology is a fascinating and rich source of inspiration for dark / fantasy pieces. I'm a history / mythology buff, when I was a teenager I'd go at the library and read books on various Greek / Roman myths and the knowledge stuck. A few of my pieces in my gallery are inspired by these. Adapting them is not so much a challenge as the research to find the right models and background to crank up the mood But I have a lot of fun spending hours looking at possibles. DA is wonderful in how rich it is in stock...it baffles the imagination

my thoughts exactly! I started on it in 6th grade and havent been able to get it out of my head since. my teacher was amazing and i think that has alot to do with why i like it. I have never cared for history or anything like that but the roman and greek gods are just so interesting! DA does have alot of wonderful stock. sometimes too much of the obvious and not enough of the odd stuff i really need at times but i learn to work with what i have and im slowly finding other safe resources i can use without getting yelled at for it. haha

I hear you on too much of the obvious, but sometimes I find that it challenges me to visualize something and see how far I can push my skills at transformation and I've been surprised. That's where I find the "flavor" and satisfaction in a dev and when I can reasonably manifest the original idea. I have found a free site for stock pics lately (I haven't registered yet but just bookmarked it) I thought it might be a good thing to have extra resources as well.

It took me a moment to figure the above, below perspective (my eyes aren't working today) but after i focused a bit my opinion is as follows:

Woot! Wonderful! not often have i seen a depiction of this set in a realistic setting... I love the trees, makes it more ominous

Thank you so much! Im glad you think so Someone had told me that the bottom half looked terribly fake.. but I think its because they were thinking it was still above water, anyways, Im glad you like it and think its different.. I thought so too
