Description Tis my lovely friend *zeldyn-stock starring as Venus! Somehow, she always comes out a bit art nouveau when I use her photos. Space Mucha!

This is awesome.
I like how it is historically correct.
Venus the roman goddess is actually curvy and is not the modern sense of beauty.

It strange to imagine that at one time, people thought that Venus was a swamp like planet (hence all the clouds covering the planet) when we now know that it is the complete opposite. The fear is that global warming might cause our own planet to end up like Venus.

Awesome! You continue to out-do yourself!
I love the melding of her hair with the planet. And I agree with those who approve of your color choices! (After all, Venus is one of the hottest places in the solar system! )

You always see Venus portrayed in blues and greens, but I love the version you've done
She's gorgeous!

vkacademy In reply to vaia [2007-03-26 00:08:31 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! ~RazorGeisha pointed out that most photos of Venus show a rather yellowish planet, but since THE SUN will be done in bright golds and yellows, I made this one more red and amber. I'll have to to Neptune or Uranus in blues and greens, I think.

vaia In reply to vkacademy [2007-03-26 00:11:53 +0000 UTC]

I don't know that I've ever actually SEEN a photo of Venus itself
Just always depictions of it as *earth twin* and being blue and green

I can't wait to see which one you do next!

I love the fact that you chose a rounded model to represent Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Too often these days people associate beauty with being skinny.

she really is Gorgeous. yup, with a capital G! ^_^
