Description
Marked mature because there are boobies, which is rather tame for the myth. You see, Zeus saw Europa and wanted her. And when Zeus wants something, Zeus gets it. That's the advantage of being the head god. So Zeus disguised himself as a snow white bull, lured Europa to his back, and then carried her off across the sea to a little island where he.... ahem, got what he wanted.Moral of this myth? Don't be a beautiful woman. Don't you just love Greek mythology.

I really do think that something like having a god disguised as a bull would give you some serious emotional problems.

The way you worded that is Zeus in a nutshell.
This is very spiffy, though. One of my favorite myths, I might add!! I might just have to fave it!

Aw, thank you! That's when I know I've done something right if someone is drawn back to an illustration time and time again.

Oh, the ease with which the Zeus bull moves, and such foreboding sky.

This is so nice. I love the fluidity and the muted colours with Zeus as a splash of white and Europa also standing out against the darker background. Beautiful work.

Great colours, action and pose. Well done!.
At any rate, Europa got the honour of becoming the mother of nations. A better recompense than some of Zeus' girls got....

Great energy in this one, I love the transparency of the water, very well done

Haha, naughty naughty Zeus.

Just because he's God of Gods, he thinks he can do whatever he wants!
I supposed he could, though.

the way you use textures...is just mindblowing. are they textures you made yourself? and what kind of textures are they/how do you apply them to your image? Your use of textures is something im desparately trying to get a handle on. Sorry for the questions, i am so intrigued
Also, amazing job on your entire gallery. im holding back adding every piece to my favourites

I always thought the moral of the story was 'don't climb ona large white randy bull. Especially if you aren't wearing anything-you will be left very saddle sore'.
Great use of texture, by the way-I can see what *pallanoph was talking about. I like Europa's expression: rather than looking completely terrified (as she does in most pictures of the story)she looks quite interested in her surroundings. As if being spirited away by a great white bull doesn't worry her that much.

Haha! I like that moral, too, though you think it'd just be common sense.
And perhaps she's not worried yet because she has no idea what's in store for her....

Lovely use of style here... I adore all of the fish you see under the waves!

Great anatomy on the bull! And I like the little surprises and textures in the water.

It's so funny when you break it down like that, because "paisley" and "manta ray" just don't seem like they go together at all. XD And here they are!
Thanks!

Awesome! And I lol'd at your little summary. haha! This makes me nostalgic. I used to be a huge greek mythology nerd. 8D I still love it all, though.

Me too. There's just something about Greek mythology that is so fascinating.

Beautiful work.
But, I like to think the moral to the story is that if you want a beautiful woman, become a bull

Haha, there's that too!

This is so beautiful! 8D It reminds me of very old tv advert we used to have here, which had some old sad beautiful jazz melody playing to it and a loose animation of Europa and the bull, i watched over and over as a kid.
This is just gorgeous! I love the waves and the bull and the whole pic! 8D So many pretty details! 8D
