hi there, letīs start with wikipedia mode on!

Andromeda was a woman from Greek mythology who was chained to a rock to be a sacrifice to a sea monster as divine punishment for her mother's bragging. She was saved from death by Perseus, her future husband. Her name is the Latinized form of the Greek Ανδρομέδη (Andromēde). The etymology of the name is "to think of a man," from ανδρός (andros) "man" combined with μήδομαι (mēdomai) "to think, to be mindful of."

if perseus didn't save her, i think it would be safe to say that she....is doomed

Beautiful artwork! I also like that you included the etymology and origins of her name. Wonderful!

Andromeda remains my favorite Greek lady, although Athena is great too.
Great artwork! Creepy Cetus, but beautiful princess. Have you done one of Perseus?

Good and Old Andromeda... Looks so naive and caring! She looks like a virgo. Such amazing black color in her hair!

Thank you for bringing my favorite myth to life in this wonderful piece of art! Andromeda's as beautiful as I imagine she'd be, and Cetus (RELEASE the KRAKEN!) looks much better than either film's version! This scene plays out in the night sky every fall, as well, if you know where to look. ^_^
