The god of the sea

Published:
528 Views

Description

A piece based on Neptune/Poseidon, a kind of universal sea god image for my exam sketchbook.
At the moment I'm doing a bit of research into mythology for the project, and found out that the Greek Poseidon and the Roman Neptune are actually very simlar and have been given a lot of the same characteristics. :) They both carry a trident, both are associated with horses and, of course, the sea :fish: :D Oh, and most strangely they're both are also believed to be the force behind earthquakes :omg: :D :bulletblue:
Done with acrylic paint :) :painter:

Wow, you've improved in drawing people a lot! I really like how you drew the face and colored the skin. :la:
I've heard that some Roman/Greek gods are similar, but the part about earthquakes is completely new to me. :D
