Another attempt at a depiction of 'Apollo and Daphne', and I'm quite satisfied with this one. It was tricky handling the subject matter and theme given the mythological tale, and I spent a lot of time on the metamorphosis of Daphne from human to a tree, to get it just right. Overall I think this is my best depiction of the tale by far and I hope you enjoy the illustration as well.

Whoa, this gives the term "tree hugger" a whole new meaning (subtext and main text)! This gives a whole new spin and take on the mythos about Apollo's attempted rape of Daphne, who turned into a tree to avoid that, which is excellently illustrated in your version of this mythical event. Great image!
