Kristina posted a great essay comparing ancient myth traditions with modern interpretations. She asked for more examples in shows and movies we've watched, but I was so taken with the fantastic drawing of Cu Chulainn she used to illustrate her blog that I became distracted and went off to find out more about her art. (Thank you Kristina!)
There is a fantastic collection of artwork done to illustrate the character Cu Chulainn on the website ConceptArt.org. It seems they hold global contests to draw a particular character each week. The amazing drawing I am using was done by a woman who calls herself Arthemis IX and lives in Holland. I highly recommend going to the site and seeing if any of the drawings correspond to your personal vision of our hero.

What fantastic artwork! I will have to go out to the site and see more. Thank you for posting!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean? I thought you found this site first...
ReplyDeleteI actually used Google Images and came across the picture on Deviant Art. If you haven't used Google Images before I would highly recommend it! You get oodles of returns for just about any keyword you can think up (like Cu Chulainn :-). You get to it in the upper left corner of the Google page.
ReplyDeleteI went to the Concept art and tried to find the best picture of CC based on how I imagined him. And I came up with this one: http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii293/chowarchive/176-185/181/cuchu7finalforCA.jpg
ReplyDeleteI looked at the one you liked. Great choice and good illustration about how CC got his name!
