Cornish quoit sketch | Limited edition fine art print from an original drawing. My sketches start life as hand-drawn graphite images made on cartridge paper. I often work on these with charcoal, oil pastel or Caran d'Ache to create the look I'm after. The artwork is then scanned and finessed digitally ready for fine art printing. This process often referred to as Giclée printing uses the highest standard of printing methods to give gallery quality results that maintain all the details of the original sketch. The graphite pencils I use are Faber-Castel, the oil pastels are Sennelier and the china-graph is Caran d’Ache. The inks are pigment based archive quality (100years+). The heavyweight specialist papers I use are of the best professional quality having a wonderful surface designed specifically for fine art drawings and illustrations. Very limited editions with only ten per size printed. All artwork is signed and includes a certificate of authenticity. The A5 are 5.8" x 8.25" (14.8cm x 21cm) The A4 are 8.25" x 11.7" (21cm x 29.8cm) The A3 are 11.7" x 16.5" (29.8 cm x 42cm) The A2 are 16.5" x 23.4" (42 cm x 59.4cm) Originals are A3 11.7" x 16.5" (29.8 cm x 42cm) Frames not included in price.

*sicko grin* YES... HAHAHA... YES!

The heroes [Thetis] found by their ship, relaxing at archery and with quoits; so she approached them, reached out, and barely brushed the hand of Peleus, Aiako's son -- her husband. [thetis: *gives stern instructions for their continued safe passage and makes it clear that she's only helping him because hera commanded her to*] "[...] keep silent, or you'll make me still angrier than you did with your recklessness on that other occasion." So saying, she plunged out of sight into the sea depths. But he was pierced by sharp sorrow, for till this moment he'd not seen her since she'd fled from his bed and chamber in a rage [when he interrupted her ritual that was meant to make infant achilles immortal]

GUYS THEY'RE ALREADY ULTRA TURBODIVORCED BY THE TIME OF THE ARGONAUTICA. OH HE'S BOTHERED HE'S SOOO BOTHERED. HAHA YEAH THAT'S WHAT YOU GET

Apollo is sometimes credited with the invention of quoits, but Perseus is also credited as the inventor.

There are multiple versions of the game, but we can assume that this is the version we’re it’s a metal ring (bc if Acrisius was killed by a rubber or rope ring that would be hilarious) however, sports aren’t just invented by one person, it’s usually a group effort, now I imagine him developing and playing the game with Danaë, Andromeda and his kids.

But the sheer force of her will had set him to a task, and he’d fallen by old habit into following that lead.
