Prometheus


Prometheus was a Titan from Greek myth. Prometheus was punished by Zeus and Zeus's proclamation and was determined to bring fire to Man, but Zeus had guarded the entrance to Olympus. Athena told Prometheus about an unguarded back entrance to Olympus where he would be able to enter with ease. Prometheus wanted Man to have all the benefits and progress that fire would bring and gave fire to man.
I represented this story by having someone hold out their hands like they're giving som ething and i created fire in their hand. I just used the brush tool and created different circles and smudged it upward. I also added light around the fire to make it seem more realistic.

Narcissus

I chose to do Narcissus for my Greek myth, which is basically the boy who fell in love with his reflection. The lighting was perfect so the shadow of his hand represents him trying to touch his reflection and then the ripples are making it seem like its fading away.
