my queer rendition of Joseph Kuhn-Régnier's painting "Bacchanal and Panthers"
I really love the original painting, but I wanted to add my own style and make it more modern and Dionysian

λέγουσι δ᾽ ὥς τις εἰσελήλυθε ξένος,
γόης ἐπῳδὸς Λυδίας ἀπὸ χθονός,
ξανθοῖσι βοστρύχοισιν εὐοσμῶν κόμην,
οἰνῶπας ὄσσοις χάριτας Ἀφροδίτης ἔχων...
-
And they say that some foreigner has arrived,
a sorcerer, an enchanter from the land of Lydia,
with sweet-smelling hair in tawny curls,
the wine-dark charms of Aphrodite in his eyes...
Euripides, Bacchae 233-236

Available miniatures for sale
Guess who is completely broke after buying new supplies. Here's the remaining finished stone paintings and a couple of resin and wood pendants
The painted pendants:
- St Exupery's blues
- Edward Little
- Bacchae
- two dragon eyes on serpentine
- a thing inspired by Bridglar from Annihilation AU
- Wilde's Happy Prince
- Three of hearts
- and a F1 car on resin
Reblogs would be very helpful, thank you very much
