Description
Another one, to clean off my drive. And brace yourself... its a weird one.
The Garden of Hespierdes is where the Greek Goddess, Hera, keeps her golden apples of immortality. It is guarded by Hesperiedes, or nymphs that tend to its groves. But as tempting as the apples are, the nymphs often stole them... so Hera appointed a hundred headed dragon to guard it. Granted mines not hundred headed... no way I could fit all those heads into one pic... so I settled for a hydra.
Hope you guys have a happy :oD

Excellent! Very well done. I love the way you interlaced everything. ;0) Heztia
Cool mix of textures
Wonderful job.!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
I like how the tree itself is a dryad! That is a wonderful interpretation of the myth (and I am glad you didn't cram in all the heads;-)
Awesome attention to detail...Hugs
Super creation!! Love it :)
Awesome render and cool Greek lesson! Nice.
I'd have to agree it's a touch weird...still really cool and well done! :)
Kewl - I like the effect on your character, it makes her look as though she's in the process of morphing into something, or conjuring something.
Excellent work !!!!!BRAVO
Wow, nice one.
Stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnning!!!!
Excellent composition and lighting I like that texture you've given her... unfortunately I think that doesn't count as nudity. 8-) The Hydra is wonderfully done and it's enough to keep me out of there... No need of ninety-seven heads more. Great texture. If you can eat a gold apple, you certainly have to be immortal. Great POV.
Great interpretation and marvellous lighting. A pleasure to look at. Thnks for sharing, chr
Fabulous work !!!
WOW EXCELLENT..
