Just a gentle glow rather than a heavy sweat? How about some baby oil next time, then you'll really sparkle! ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ

Interior of ruins of Whitby Abbey, with a moody sky, suggestive of the story of Count Dracula's landing in the cursed ship Demeter.
A raven sits to the centre right on a branch, with an abstract background consisting of textured acrylic mediums and pieces of cardboard with corrugated areas exposed. Very dark blacks, greys, blues and browns add a foreboding quality.
A man wrestling a python on a sandy rocky slope, with tufts of grasses poking through. A large area of trees behind separate him from a distant Greek temple. It is very late evening, but not yet dark, the sun is low but not yet behind the temple. Brooding clouds give an ominous sense to this mythic scene. Based on Frederick Leighton's classic bronze sculpture "Athlete wrestling with a Python" held in the Tate Britain.
1. Whitby Abbey in watercolour with mixed media on rough w/c paper. 1/26
2. Acrylic and mixed acrylic 1/26 texture mediums of a Raven on canvas 40x40 inch.
3. Currently W.I.P. based on Lord Leighton's "Athlete wrestling a Python". See alt text for more info.
No. 66/100 in my #100figures, which I seemed to have forgotten to post on here in order. Suddenly noticed I skipped from 65 to 67. It's unlikely I will finish my 100 before 15th February, but ai will continue to draw them and see how long it takes.
My first tattoo, meet Thuginn and Muninn, Odin's two ravens that represent Thought and Memory. They are his eyes in the world, but he dreads the day they wander too far and might not return to him. A stunning original design by Mikey Saharat at @inkofhearts.bsky.social based on my idea.
So sexy ๐
Thank you ๐
A young athletic male, viewed from behind, his left arm raised with his forearm across his brow, which is twisting downwards. His back is twisting as his left leg extends behind him. His right arm is low, holding a round disc-like mirror that reflects part of his right buttock.
