O is for Orpheus, the Greek god of tragic music.

~+~+~+~

This is part of a Photoshop Class assignment that we have. Essentially, we have to pick a theme, and then find a magazine picture or draw a drawing for each letter of the alphabet.

I chose the theme: Greek gods and goddesses. Because I love Greek mythology, and I'm stupid enough to draw 26 of them. I'm even taking it one step farther: eventually, I'll have 52 of them drawn to create a full deck of cards. Fun X).

I'm not going to type a really long description for this deity.

Orpheus is based off of =irishgirl982's original character, Yukio, who can be found throughout her gallery. Both she and I agreed that I would base Orpheus's looks off of Yukio, so this is dedicated to her.

However, I apologize greatly if this was not the sort of picture you were expecting or wanted to see. If it looks sad... well, it's supposed to. Not only because that Orpheus is the god of TRAGIC music, but also because... I was sobbing when I colored this pic. Actually, I'm still crying... dangit. I apologize if this picture has flaws... I wasn't aiming to make it perfect, but instead to show extreme sorrow.

I'm so sorry... I'm hating myself right now... I just want to be happy.

I'm so sorry... thanks to everyone who views this pic. I apologize once again if it is not up to my standard... I don't know what to do... all I can say is I'm sorry...

Don't be sorry. Nothing can be perfect and sometimes you know a picture has more meaning to it when it has flaws...if its perfect, then it doesn't have as much feeling into it. In this case the flaws stand for your sorrow which makes the picture that much better :heart:
