Mikami (and Light) Sketches

thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful description! 🥺💜 it is perfect

Dionysus with the head of Pentheus! I couldn’t decide which version to post, so have both of them 🎭

A sketch of Actaeon 🏹

thank you so so much, you have answered my question and expanded the theme so beautifully! i had catched glipses of elements borrowed from the gospels in other episodes of the dyonisiaca, but the link between the tree-climbing and zacchaeus didn't occurr to me.

and your research sounds incredibly interesting; now i am absolutely looking forward to get to the parts with ampelus and pentheus

question not related to art (yet):

lately i have been reading the dionysiaca by nonnus and just yesterday i have reached the part in which actaeon's myth is told. nonnus makes acteaeon climb a tree in order to spy on artemis, and i wanted to ask - how popular is this element in this myth? because it is very clear that here nonnus intends to draw as many parallels between actaeon and pentheus as possible (as he should) and if i remember correctly in ovid there are no mentions of actaeon climbing a tree. does someone knows any other classical versions in which this element is present?

thank you in advance

Thank u @tractym for letting me borrow some inspiration from Ur piece 🥺

dionysus and two satyrs

Recently I received some beautiful flowers, so I tought it might be a good exercise to paint them 🌹🌻

just noticed that i wrote “shubert” instead of “schubert” under the latest fanart, now i’ve changed the caption
