Artist's Comments

For 's Theos Enomenos (Greek gods) collaboration.
This is Eros (sometimes confused with the Roman Cupid) the god of desire and love. He was often described as a young teen or boy, though I chose to picture him a little bit more mature. Most often considered the son of Aphrodite, he became her minion later on, usually doing her dirty work. One story said that he had a bow with two strings, and carried two kinds of arrows, leaden and golden, which could cause repulsion or desire. More often than not, the early Eros was pictured as a troublemaker, and used his powers to make humans miserable. Ultimately, he gave up his naughty ways when he fell in love with Psyche, but I prefer the devious young Eros more than the romantic.
On another level, I put so much love in this image I can hardly stand to ask for critiques. I really put a lot of work and thought into it, and I'm pretty happy with it ( I really love the way the thumbnail looks :XD: ). So I probably won't change anything. But still, I would like to hear everyone's thoughts.

your works is so much better than my own I can barely stand to give you any kind of critique other than I like this picture very much.
I will say his eyebrows are a touch over-plucked but that is just being pickly.
A fine piece of art no matter which way I look at it.

My *only* crit is how long his torso is, seems a bit overly so, but other than that this is really awesome. The bows, his expression, the cloth...and i love his feet!! Those look great, along with his left hand in particular. Just really steller work.
