Neptune Poseidon Wave A
I made these image in September 2023, based on some photos that @neptunes_pineapple posted. None of these directly used any photo references. They’re mostly a play on his username Neptune, the idea of the Greek god Poseidon, some photos of him swimming in the sea, his love for nature, and the abstract motif of waves from the sea — to express the tour de force that he is — strong but gentle; spirited but also down to earth; a very handsome man but with so much humility. I consider him to be a friend, and I’m overly concerned that he wouldn’t like them, so I never posted them.
But I’m posting it today because I want you to know how you are in my mind; and mostly that I want you to know that I have been working on these images for a very long time — and if nothing else, I want you to see that I really wanted to finalize them, so I thought that I would post what I’ve been working on, to see if you like them.
