(More) Greek nymphsby *Arbetta

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / People / Fantasy

Just some samples of four kinds of Greek mythology nymphs (there are more and I will try to draw them all!):

Pleiade: One of the seven daughters of Atlas, they became stars after their suicide pact

yep!
Epimelide: Apple tree nymphs, and also protectors of sheeps and goats in valleys and meadows. They had beautiful white hair, like the apple tree flowers and the wool

Naiad: Unlike the well-known Oceanids and the Nereids, these are associated with fresh water bodies (fountains, streams...)
Aurae: Nymphs of the breezes, each one a daughter of one of the four main gods of the winds (Boreas, Eurus, Zephyrus and Notus).

The gods are coming soon

I -do- like these! I didn't know there were nymphs specifically for apple trees... or for breezes

beautiful as always...this is a well suited style for greek mythology as it symbolises youth, love, energy etc..so the bright and warm colors do the job perfectly!!
