He's usually portrayed as a handsome youth, but I went with his older, original form.

Marvelous!

I always hated that damn cherub. Even before I knew how Eros originally looked, the flying baby thing creeped me out, always looked somehow sinister to me.

The primordial version kick ass over the chubby dumb cherub one! Why did Eros have to change it, I wonder?

This is beautiful. I love the symbols on the foreheads. Are they your own design? They definitely seem influenced by angelic script.

Thank you! Yes, I came up with them myself, but I've used the Enochian (angelic)alphabet in some of my other work. For example:

I would assume it came much later O.o


haha ace man, would love to see more like this ( Your version of Hydra or Cerberus would be frighteningly beautiful )

I love how well you mix the mystical, technical and macabre/dark in your illustrations.

I have some Zygote's Fables that I'll post soon that have the Hydra and Cerberus in them, but they're more traditional looking.

Ahh, beauty haha. Oh there's someone who's art I think you'd might admire, it's very surrealist but with a lot of mystic/shamanic overtones.

[link] very nice stuff
