One for the memories.

Hey everyone.

Here is the teased artwork for you. I hope that all of you will respect my wishes and not upload this artwork anywhere as this one holds a special place in my heart. ♥️

See every so often I will make an artwork pretty much out of the blue. It strikes me like a thunder from Zeus - or a whisper from a Muse… in this case 5 of them. And when that happens I sink into an almost magical part of my brain that I call the zone. I literally flows out of body and mind and becomes completely sucked into a world of pure concentration.
My body seems to work outside my minds control. And though this artwork was beyond hard - Especially in the sketching process - it was one of the works that pushed me - in the right direction.

I think I mentioned yesterday that I wanted to draw the scene from a song in an episode of the show about Hercules. The muses sing and dance - and when I was younger I was captivated by it.

I also want to make it absolutely clear, that I am totally an ass man as well as a leg man 🥰 In my perspective, great legs are the best accessory to a great ass.

But I wanted to try and picture how the muses might have laid down while performing this waving legs stunt. And I sorta came up with this.

I tried picturing them all on their backs, but with the (ahem) usually broad hips my style is (hopefully) appreciated for, it… it uhm… it wasn’t all practical… 😬 So I thought of putting the girls up on the side.
And honestly… this has inspired me to a follow up piece… where we see the girls… from the other side 🥰

Btw: From the left - Terpsichore, Melpomene, Calliope, Clio, Thalia.

This was my original idea for a Valentines Day treat for you all, but Muses comes and goes as they see fit, and I guess they were a little busy. So instead, it comes a little late, but still with all the good intentions.

I hope you are all doing well and feeling well.

Yours truly
Hammer
