August - Myths and Legends - Nathan Pye

Ocean God

My entry doesn't refer to any Myth or Legend directly, but I used an an old drawing and concept to mash up some existing ones.

My initial idea was an angry octopus god, surrounded by shattered ships and oceanis debris. I started to weave in some Ganesha influences, and it just slowly calmed everything out. Ended up a lot more serene than I initially intended.

Feels like it needs a few more days in the oven, but a deadlines a deadline. :P

Yeah,agreed. They were just too dominating, so i tried to lighten them a bit. Then I ran out of time. I'll have a bit more of a play.
