✨New Art//The Reunification of Orpheus and Eurydice (Patreon)

The once-anguished notes of Orpheus's music finally fell silent to the mortal realm, his heartbroken melodies giving way to the stillness of the realm of the dead.

Eurydice, her eyes glinting with a contradiction of anger and joy, drew near to Orpheus's sundered spirit. She seized his robes, pulling him close, and with a tender brush of her lips against his, their souls, separated for so long, found their long-awaited reunion. As realization dawned upon him, Orpheus's eyes drifted closed, a tear escaping, carrying with it the depth of their love, once again made whole in the eternal realm of the afterlife.

Hello my lovelies! 🌟 Happy Saturday! 🎉  Bringing you some mythology mush!  Hehe!😄✨

I worked on this piece on stream last week and we decided to make it Orpheus and Eurydice!🎶💔  I've been meaning to draw them for so long and still would like to draw a different part of the myth sometime, but for now you get my own "happy ending" epilogue fanfiction to this myth.

If you aren't familiar with the myth, I'll try and summarize it briefly for you: 📜

The myth of Orpheus and Eurydice tells of the tragic love between the gifted musician Orpheus and the nymph Eurydice.  They were in love and married but then Eurydice dies from a snakebite.  Orpheus journeys to the Underworld to bring her back.  With his music, he moves Hades and Persephone to grant him a chance to guide Eurydice out of the underworld, but with the condition that he must not look back at her as they leave.  Just as they are approaching the exit, Orpheus, in a moment of doubt, glances back, and Eurydice is lost to him and must remain in the underworld.  He has no more chances to bring her back and so wanders the world playing a song so mournful that it eventually calls death to him (how he dies varies according to the source).

So here is my little epilogue, where I take the liberty to give a tragedy a happy ending.  haha.  I hope you like it!😊

In other news I am HELLA swamped with stuff to do before the end of this month.  So, apologies if I seem a little quiet.  I still will be working on getting everything up here as normal, so don't worry about that but over the next couple days I'm heads down trying to get everything done that needs to be done.  Maybe I shouldn't feel self conscious about it though considering all the art I've managed to complete this month so far and the tutorial is already up! I dunno!  I overthink things and might be experiencing the annoying "never feel like I'm doing enough" feeling!  Ahhh!

Anyhoo  I am excited to share with you what has me so busy!🙌💼
