Day 5: Hermes Psychopompos
While it may look like you've just met Hermes, this is actually Turms Aitas, the messenger of Aita the Etruscan god of the underworld.

A digital art piece showing a man sitting on top of a stone altar. He is naked aside from a red cape draped over his shoulders and a wide brimmed hat with black wings on it. He's sitting with one leg crossed over and with one of his hands resting on the edge of the altar. His other hand holds a golden caduceus. He has large black wings which are unfurled behind him. He has dark brown hair in a tightly curled style that goes past his shoulders. He's smiling slightly, and his irises are large, almost completely obscuring the whites of his eyes.

Day 4: Shroud
I don't know how I forgot to share this here on the correct day, but here it is!

A digital art piece of a ba, a bird with the head of a human, standing on a shroud covered mummy. The art is rended in a flat coloured largely lineless style. The shroud shows a woman's face with a large wekesh collar necklace stretching across her neck. She has bronze skin, dark wavy brown hair pulled away from her face, and dark eyeliner around her eyes in an Egyptian style. Below her necklace is an arm with a large feathered wing attached to it, part of an image of the goddess Ma'at. Below this is a kneeling goddess, Isis, with her hand up in a gesture of mourning. The bottom of the shroud shows a line of kneeling figures with knives. Each section is seperated from the others by a gold boarder. The ba has the face of the woman on the shroud but her body is of a white bird with green wings and tail. She is looking down at her portrait on theh shroud and smiling slightly.

Day 3: Graiai

A digital art piece of a close up shot of a woman's face showing only one half of her face in a flat coloured style. She's holding an eyeball in one hand in front of her empty eye socket. She's frowning with her mouth open, showing she has no teeth. She has noticeable wrinkles around her eyes, mouth, and on her hands.

So glad I was able to get some water shots in Yui! This rocky lake shoreline ended up being the perfect setting for her.

I had to draw my favorite mythological couple sooner or later, and here they are! The pose is loosely inspired by a relief at Philae.

You trek down an overgrown path, shrouded in shadow and chrosued by crickets, until finally you encounter the wishing well. You throw in a gold coin. Minutes pass. A pair of golden eyes glitter in the dark, and a mermaid appears. She offers to grant your wish... Do you trust her?
