Congratulations to Angelopudus! Angelopudus' illustration of a Medusa is all that!

I was hard pressed as always to choose just one. I was also partial to Chud Tsankov and Rockbird. Thanks to everyone who joined in on this challenge. As always, I am amazed by the tremendous talent, creativity, and skill you all have shown. I hope you all had fun and will enjoy the next challenges.

Greek Myth - "Danae"(painted after Gustav Klimt)

I painted this watercolor after the famous oil painting by Gustav Klimt. "Danae" was a figure of Greek Mythology. For more information about both Klimt and Danae look here.

The challenge on Monday Artday is "greek myth".

Eris is the Greek goddess of strife and discord. The goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite had been invited along with the rest of Olympus to the forced wedding of Peleus and Thetis, who would become the parents of Achilles, but Eris had been snubbed because of her troublemaking inclinations. Eris crashed the wedding reception. She threw a golden apple into the center of the festivities. The apple was inscribed "To the Fairest One"– provoking the goddesses to begin quarreling about the appropriate recipient. The arguing escalated – into the Trojan War.

CowMan the Barbarian

Cowman the Barbarian (a.k.a. Half and Half the Barbarian): He's half man, half cow, and all Barbarian!

Actually intended to be a Conan the Barbarian spoof, but figured I try and pass him/her off as a Minotaur for this week's M.A.D. challenge.

Greek Myth

Ignorance is Bliss.

Hephaestus was the Greek for-runner of the Roman God Vulcan. Hephaestus was married to Aphrodite and Vulcan was married to Venus. Besides having the same marital issue, they both also had mother issues and were handicapped.

Greek Myth

In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first woman. Zeus ordered her creation as a punishment for mankind, in retaliation for Prometheus’ having stolen fire and then giving it to humans for their use. She is most famous for having brought with her a box containing all the world’s evils. She releases these evils, but closes the lid before Hope can escape. Man, those ancient Greeks were nuts! :)
