Portrait of Polyphemus
🕑 Added 2025-01-15 05:12:26 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite characters from mythological literature, this is the cyclops Polyphemus. He was featured in the Odyssey of course, but has also been in plays and poems as a lover. Sometimes he loves women, notably the sea nymph Galatea, but other times he was written as a lover of men as well like the old satyr Silenus. Anyway today I worked on this portrait of the monster, but might do more with him later this month. :)

You know, I love the way you handle beards and (in this case) the fine detail of body hair. He's not a full on fur ball, but it's still there! It's like you've had practice and a passion for the subject or something. ;-)

I was actually about to say that his eye was rather nice.

Thanks for mentioning the hair. Yep, meticulous is hitting the nail right on the head, lol. But It's also why I enjoy doing portraits from time to time: Lots of space to spend time on those super fine details.

Indeed he is!

Hey, he's pretty smart... As cyclops go.

Honestly, I'm sure he has just the warmest, most adorable smile. ^u^

Ah, Polyphemus, Silenus and Bacchus. What fun they must have had. It's always wonderful to see a DB piece with such detail with the hair. It shows tremendous talent being so meticulous with the details. Amazing as always.
