The "Birth of Venus"... a.k.a. blasphemizing classical art
April 2004
Materials: Procreate Painter 7

Another one for Anime Club.  The Fresh Produce topic this time is "bastardization", or putting anime characters in "unlikely situations".  One of the samples/inspirations provided had Naruto characters inserted into classical art, so I figured it was a good opportunity to do this (painfully unoriginal) idea that I've wanted to do but had no reason to spend the effort. =P  Uranus and Neptune play the roles of Zephyr and Chloris, the west winds, and Pluto is one of the Horae, or nymphs of the seasons.
