"Apollo" by Astra M. Poyser

SciFi and Fantasy Art Apollo by Astra M. Poyser

Here's another illustration from that project I did in college on Greek mythology. This is Apollo, the god of light, music, healing, poetry, and various other things. He was sometimes referred to as 'Apollo of the silver bow,' so I gave him a bow, as well as a lyre, and his two animal-symbols are the crow and the dolphin, both featured here. This was originally done in pen and ink, then colored later with colored pencils.

6 Oct 2002	Siren	Loading... EEeek! Apollo! hides shivers Lol, don 't mind me. I love this picture a lot. Of course, I loooooooooove Greek Mythology and you depict its characters very well. But having role-played too much as a Siren Queen cursed by Apollo, I find him quite frightening. Oh well. He looks, well, like a god. drools
21 Oct 2002	Heather Steele	Loading... Yes yes.. Amazing..As usual.. I love the colors of that sunset..And that little dolphin gives a nice touch.. But maybe not put such a dark outline around the sun ? shrugs you do shading with color very well.. Haha..
3 Jan 2003	Laura Laurain	Loading... Cheesus rice. The color job is just spectacular..
21 Jan 2003	Erin	Loading... You've done a wonderful job in the composition of this picture. You have very skillfully brought together different icons associated with this god. The drawing itself is great, and I am most impressed by your coloring and shading of Apollo himself, the definition in his body,face and hair and the graceful fall of his toga.
9 Apr 2004	Christy N. Kassler	Loading... May I put this on my Greek mythology tour?
3 Jun 2004	Sirithhrivëien	Loading... WOW!
3 Nov 2004	Anonymous	Loading... Would you mind if my friernd uses your pic for a report?
4 Feb 2005	Anonymous	Loading... Yo dog he's hot! however I think you could have added more muscle tone. His face is not quite radiant!!! thank you though I like his hair
24 Nov 2005	Elizabeth	Loading... Wow He's really cute.
21 Aug 2006	Sunstruck	Loading... Good work. I don't think he needs to be any more muscular than this - when you think about the classical statues they are athletic, but not like bodybuilders. I like the symbolism you've worked into the picture such as the dolphin and crow.
