SciFi and Fantasy Art Hyacinth by Diana M Chien


	Hyacinth is sort of the male equivalent of a wood nymph, in my vague private adaptation of Greek mythology. He is not, however, THE Hyacinth (as in Apollo's Hyacinth), although his story is similar. openCanvas, 4-5 hours. Edit: Lighter version uploaded.

20 Nov 2006	Random hard core emo kid!!!	Loading... She looks like one of those dolls that creep people out and give them nightmars..Or the dolls that people see walking around the romm or whispering stuff..Im getting creeped out i hate dolls!!! Diana M Chien replies: "Too bad it's a boy and he is [going to be] a doll?"
21 Jan 2007	Ulle	Loading... This is really interesting. Although I can't say I've heard the story though. :/ Too bad. I agree a little with the previous commenter about him looking a bit like a doll, although my first thought was that he resembles a child. I really like his big eyes, and the colour of his lips. I like how you did his hair, too, so soft. Diana M Chien replies: "Thank you for the kind comment! I encourage you to look up the Hyacinth(us) and Apollo myth; it's become one of my favorites over time.I actually 'cheated' on his hair - although I would have liked to have had more realistic, defined hair, as I don't have a tablet, it's hard for me to do fine, smooth lines. So I do soft and blurry instead. XD;"
3 Oct 2007	Jacob Studer	Loading... He's too beautiful to be a man...Unless he's wearing make up of course. Diana M Chien replies: "I am unabashedly in favor of beautiful men, and in any case, he isn't human."
7 Oct 2007	Jennee Marie Bloods	Loading... Very realistic!
7 Oct 2008	Lydia stephanie Barker	Loading... i love the softness here. and the eyes look great.
22 Jan 2009	Sihe Megara Lioz	Loading... It’s a beautiful picture, I have heard the story of Hyacinthus and Apollo, but not the one about the nymph. Diana M Chien replies: "Thank you! There isn’t actually a nymph story - that’s just the backstory I’ve vaguely invented for this character. "
12 Feb 2010	Daniela Black Phoenix Irimiash	Loading... I’m sorry but it doesn’t seem a male at all! Although it’s a great pic!
