Anissa designs I have worked on quite some time ago. Hope you like it.

I wanted this drawing to have a soft fairytale-like romantic vibe. 😊

I wasn’t trying to draw Zeus and Leda, but their story may have influenced me subconsciously, which might explain why my creature ended up with a swan’s head. Looking at the two of them, I can’t even decide who is seducing whom. What do you think? 🦢👑

Even though this is a digital artwork, I wanted it to look more traditional, which is why I chose a monochromatic color palette. But if you look closely, you’ll notice that I added a touch of color to the shadowy wings fading into the darkness. I wanted to give the impression that there’s something unsettling about the creature. I wanted their encounter to feel passionate and almost fated, while at the same time, somehow wrong.
