SciFi and Fantasy Art: Mercury rising, not!

Mercury, mesenger of the gods, about to go postal over Cerberus' idea of lunch, I was going to add the mailbag or at least a scroll and the snake stick thingie I can't spell to save my life, but got lazy and left it this way, just assume they both went flying when Cerberus went for that sandal.

26 Oct 1999	Laura Freeman	Loading... Ha, ha! I like! Very funny, although Mercury's expression is not very clear to me...cool idea.
18 Dec 1999	Xandri	Loading... I like this pic. Very humorous. And it's called a caduceus. The staff-thingy-whatever. It has the serpent and the wings on it? Is that what you meant?
19 Dec 1999	Gloria PeQueen, the artist	Loading... Thanks, that's the word all right.
23 Jan 2000	Jennifer Stotland	Loading... As a Virgo, I'm very insulted by your depiction of my patron planet- but he's smiling so he's probably got something up his sleeve... I love the way you mix digital backrounds with your own drawings-very neatly done and it looks very cool! The script on top is a nice touch too!
3 May 2000	Phaeron Theres	Loading... "Dinanzi A Me Non Fuor Cose Create" ~dantae~ great picture indeed and i commend you on your others just the same
11 Oct 2001	Jessica 'Tabby' Mulleneaux	Loading... :::giggles::: That's just great. And very original!
25 Oct 2001	Alfrieda Louise Riemke de Haas	Loading... Ah, a caduceus, I was just wondering about that. Okay, as for the pic, it's really funny! I've never seen such a humerous Mercury. I was taught to be very respectful about that kind of thing. It being part of the ever great classics and all. I love the words above the gate. Where did you get them? Gloria I. PeQueen replies: "Alfrieda;The words above the arch are either a quote or a misquote from Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) according to my dictionery, an Italian poet who wrote the Inferno among other things. As I have never read it, I have no idea if it's an accurate quote or not. "
2 Jul 2002	Steph Salt	Loading... I love it, you do have a lovely sense of humour, Gloria. Merecury looks like he's just done a couple of rounds with Cerberus already. The words above the arch are traditionally suposed to be there Alfrieda.
2 Feb 2003	Alfrieda Louise Riemke de Haas	Loading... Hi! Just commenting on your answer to my question: I should so have known that as I study the Middle Ages. About the quote: sounds about right and the exact words don't matter. After all, the original is in Italian anyway.
