Description Sorry I haven't been updating much guys. Here is a work I've decided to do in honor of Valentine's Day (even though I'm not terribly fond of the holiday).

The idea of Valentine's Day is "love". I ask, "Why does it have to be romantic or erotic love (over 90% percent of which, I believe, involves very little to no true love whatsoever)?"

Why not paternal love instead? Thus, I did this piece in honor of the robust hidden gem of 2010, "NieR" (available now for your Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 home video game system ^_^).

Besides, am I the only who's noticed that "fatherhood" is becoming a very recurrent theme in video games as of late? Consider titles such as "Bioshock 2", "Silent Hill: Shattered Memories", "Splinter Cell: Conviction", "God of War 3", "Heavy Rain", and "Red Dead Redemption". They all feature the main character as a father figure of some sort. I don't know if this will just be a fad or not, but it's something to think about.

Hmm... reminds me of Aeneas fleeing Troy. Do you know that story? Was that part of the inspiration?

No, not really. I haven't studied the Trojan Wars in quite some time. It's mostly inspired by the game, "NieR" itself.

Ah, well, the outfits seemed kinda Greco-Roman. I'm pretty unfamiliar with video games in general, so I wouldn't know about "NieR" anyway...

Well, thanks! I'm still a bit unprofessional with digital painting. Wanna be on my art trade list?
