Hi all,
The image I came up with is a Greek mythology.(But it is not like the stories of Don Quixote and his servant).
Daphne was the daughter of the river god Peneius.
She was similar in many ways to the goddess Artemis, in that she was also
a virgin huntress who happily roamed the wilderness.
One day, the love god Eros shot a flurry of arrows to taunts from Apollo, the god of prophecy. The first of Eros' arrows was a gold-tipped shaft and when it struck Apollo it made him fall immediately in love with Daphne.
The second one, however, had a lead tip and caused Daphne to become
even more indifferent that she already had been to any lover. Apollo,
however, pursued Daphne relentlessly .As she’s about to be caught Daphne called out to her father to save her. Her father a river god unable to oppose Apollo directly,
transformed Daphne into a laurel tree. Thus she could escape Apollo; however the price was being forever imprisoned.
Apollo however continued to show his adoration ever after by claiming the Laurel as his tree,and forever after wearing a crown of Laurel leaves, as he is usually depicted.
The story conveys that a man/god dominating or just generally trying to
force himself on a woman. Thus Appolo ;a servant of his desires;
became Daphne's master and as Daphne was not in love with him she had to be his servant forever as a tree.
I tried to portray emotions,expressions ,love ,relationship,action, attitude ,.... in my image and I hope I have reached my goal.

I am publishing my wire frame now and my Final will be published in a
couple of hours.
I didn't beleive I could make it to the final because I was really busy with other
projects and family ...I am sure that some extra work could be done on it but I was exhausted and stressful .
I wonder if I can participate in other challenges too unless it is tempting
which usually is.
Thanks for all your support.

I think this is the last update before my final.
I wanna work more on Daphne's hair and put some grass on the ground
before I get my final render.

Hey all,
Thanks for your kind comments .
This is my pre -final work.The cape is almost finished .But Apollo's hand and
Daphne's fingers are not done yet. I also wanna add some tiny bushes on the foreground.
Maybe I'll be thinking of adding some FX lighting to it and if I can afford the time I'll work on Daphne's hair too.
Today I can say that I can make it to the final provided that I don't want to go through all that work I

mentioned above!!!!!

This is the last update.Apollo's foot is nearly finished but there are still a lot left to do on the project like the cape ,Apollo's hands,Daphne's hands and the grass on the rocks.
Hope to get your comments!

This is my last update...

This is another detail of mt work.

This is my last update.It's a long way to finish I know .
You can see the color I am comig up with. Apollo's cape,
the anatomy of feet &... ,the tree and the surface should be worked on.
Hope I finish it.

I finalized the background so I can move to the foreground but before that I'd like to know your idea of how it looks.
And I have to say that in the centre I'll have the main characters
so mostly the area will be covered by them.

In this update the sky and cloud section is almost finished .The horizon is also added here.
I eddited it a bit in Photoshop and the sky you see here is what I expected to get.
Hope to hear your comments!
