Description One of many images from my third year at college. Probably the only work I have that is not for sale. Sorry.

A few years back I created her concept aimed for a story I wanted to make with a gothic/punk theme told in the viewpoints of the villians.

Her back story follows that of the Greek's Minotaur conception with a new twist. Her mother was the human woman Pasiphae, her father the bull Asterius. From thier love Miya was born. Pasiphae and Asterius's daughter was seen as an abomination to the world. Miya was to be put to death, but Pasiphae intervened and told Asterius to hide the babe away, as she new the bull loved his daughter dearly. Asterius vowed to raise and protect his daughter in her name as he fled with the child. Pasiphae was found out for her deception and hanged. This helped give way for Miya's hatred towards human kind as she became an adult.

In the same course I made Asterius for another project. You'll see him take the role of Taurus in my Zodiac series of hybrid creatures.

Thanks.

The story was mainly a big part in the creations for all my college works. All the characters you will see will be based on various ancient mythological heroes, but modified to fit modern tastes.

I hope you got copywrites or trademarks done. I did it with a logo I designed years ago.

I've got them done for most of my works, plus I have several documentations so I shouldn't worry too much.

You’ve taken an old theme and reworked it rather nicely.
