Description
"Why should I stop with just your liver?"Time: about 3 days all in all, stopped after the second day, lost interest on piece for months. Today raced through remaining parts for about 12 hours, cause if I had stopped I knew it would take another month to pick up where I left off.
Ref: my right foot.
Music: Glee OST, HALO OST. Good stuff.
Mood: shitty when starting first time months ago, shitty when first returning to this thing, not so shitty now.
Wiki Prometheus if you had no clue who he is.
It's supposed to be dark/poorly-lit.
Wings are eeeeeeeevil.
Might post step-by-step sometime in the future.
It's 7AM here.
DONE. CAN FINALLY SLEEP.
TL;DR

I love the 'classic' feel to this piece. The details and colours, even teh description. But may I ask the significance of the halo if he's a greek titan? Or is it symbollic of a sun? It's amazing work, well deserving of the DD.

[link] Here you can find the story of Prometheus. 
The artist here gave human form to the eagle, so the whole depiction gets more dramatic.

Beautiful. Wings may be evil, but you handled them amazingly well. The red cloth looks very interesting, especially against the cloudy sky.

such a brutal fate. this is a beautiful composition. well done with the dark tones and especially with the perspective. another thing i adore of this piece, is how you've made the eagle a humanoid figure and how is seems that he is torturing prometheus even more by taunting and playing with him before the daily ritual. loving the placement of your url.. very innovative.
again, great composition and congratulations on the DD.

Oh, I know who Prometheus is 
This is f***ing brilliant. Fantastic painting. I'd compare you to some ancient master painter if I knew a fitting name.
