IF: adrift

 
Ten years was Odysseus lost at sea , because of Poseidon's resentment. I drew him sitting on the shore of Calypso's island, wishing for a ship to pass.
Acrylic on cardboard. The colors came out off because of the scan :-(

15.02.10 - update:
The illo felt unfinished to me, so I continued working on it. I think the colors are better here:

Great interpretation, somehow I've always imagined him as a young man so it's interesting to see him not so young anymore. I like his pose, too.

Beautiful! Has a vintage Greek feel too because of the cardboard!

I love how this was done on cardboard. Looks great the way the texture shows in the painting.
