I like mythology. Most stuff gets me inspired, but half the time I just want to turn all these mythological figures into cute anime girls and guys! I know Hermes is male but girls look cute with wings! So Hermes became this! I wanted to make her look both mischievous and gentle and loving since Hermes was one of the parents of Eros, the god of love! I'm glad I managed to get in the traditional caduceus staff.
I wanted to practice artwork in different sizes, and this is actually only the same size as a trading card! (It's 2 1/2 " x 3 1/2 ")
This was drawn on my favourite weight of paper (135gsm) and coloured with watercolour, inked with staedtler graphic drawing pens.

Seems like you've done a lot in a short time on here anyhow, I knew your cosplay was good from the expo but apparently your artwork is awesome too! I grew up reading Greek mythology (and watching Ulysses 31) so just about anything relating to it gets my vote ;)
Thank you very much, I still have to post up the cosplay reports from the past week but I have just come back from London so have a lot to catch up on before I even think about journal entries!
I hope they match! I am going to find out now because it's super sunny here and I want to get rid of my white legs XD
I'm not sure what you mean about matching, sorry!
Haha, the weather has been wonderful these past couple of days!
