Sorry it’s been a bit since I posted some art on this, been busy. To make up for it here’s some old art/an edit I did of Hercules and Hylas . (Like super old I did these when I first had a tablet but was too nervous to post them back then x)

In the myths Hyllas is a fellow argonaut with Hercules who in some accounts was possibly romantically involved with him before he was kidnapped by water nymphs. Hercules in the tv show is always having romantic troubles and I thought it would be fun to include Hylas in there.

In the hypothetical episode Hylas is a transfer student to the Academy who joins the swim team and Hercules instantly gets a crush on him but is too nervous to ask him out. There would be a big athletic competition with a rival school coming up (possibly Troy again) and the rival school brings in some nymphs to kidnap Hylas so they can win by forfeit. Hercules finds out and has to go rescue him and they finally get to go on a date at the end ❤️

(Agh this art is so ooold 😅)

このアルバムのアートワークとなってるのが、John William WaterhouseのHylas and the Nymphs (1896)(ヒュラスとニンフたち)。

この絵は性欲や誘惑を暗示するものと解釈されている。ヒュラスがあまりにも美しいので、ニンフ達が池の中から上がってきて、各々に彼を誘惑するシーン。ギリシャ神話から描かれたんだって

ヌードは古臭いとか今のこの世の中に適してないだとかで、2018年マンチェスター美術館から撤去されたらしいんだけど(芸術にMetoo運動などが影響しちゃうのはどうなんだろうね､､､)今現在はどこにあるのか分からない、展示再開しているのかな？

ちなみに撤去される様子も動画に収められて作品として展示されたんだそう。

横田進も然りまさかこんなに早くこの世の中から消えてしまうと思わなかっただろうなー

もうどう頑張ってももう会えない見れない人生は悲しい

一度でいいから五感で感じてみたかった
