Aphrodite, for Troll Lord Games' Castles & Crusades: Of Gods & Monsters by Jim Ward.

Aphrodite is the goddess of love and sex, borne from the sea. Roses are a symbol of her. The word "aphrodisiac" comes from her name.

I have 9 more gods to do. All are black and white, but I think I may come back and color them in. I haven't worked in B&W for ages :D All of them have to be this size too, very narrow.

Reference used :D All Photoshop CS2 <3 <3

Chuck Norris and Mr. T were sparring once. Chuck Norris went to roundhouse kick Mr. T, but he blocked it. This is commonly known today as the "Big Bang".

I don't mind the black and white. Actually im a hard core fan of black and white personally. Overall very well put together.

If a tree falls in a forest, does anybody hear? Yes. Chuck Noris hears, he hears everything . . .

Very nice, the achromatic scheme is fun, makes it seem more god-like, if you know what I mean :iconcatplz:

Stunning work. I think the black and white works very well too. Although it would be great to see her coloured. Amazing work!

The internet was meant for the free exchange of information and debate. The reality is merely a forum for obscure niche jokes. Al Gore would be pissed.

This is just beautiful - I love that you managed to incorporate the waves in the background, especially ~ everyone seems to ignore that bit ;P

pretty! She is indeed beautiful. :)

I feel like her right arm is a bit small though.. the elbow to the hand part.
