New work. Still on a Greek mythology bent. This is Aphrodite. Swans, Sparrows and Doves are all sacred to her and she is sometimes described as the daughter of Zeus and Thalassa -the sea. (Much nicer than her more common birth story in which she is created when an older god is castrated and his bits thrown into the sea, causing her and the three Furies to rise from the foam and blood! ....ewwww!)
Having improved my pattern/texture supply I decided to experiment with a heavily patterned style. Didn't anticipate just how many extra hours of work this would entail but I'm pleased with the result! :)
