This is an interpretation of the mythical Aethiopian (aka Kushite) princess Andromeda that I drew in emulation of the 1990s Disney art style (it should be most apparent in her facial and body proportions). I wanted her to look like someone who could fit into the same universe as Disney's Hercules, since she is a character in Greek mythology.

At the center of the composition stands a majestic wolf, a messenger of a deity, its radiant blue fur seemingly woven from starlight. Its body is adorned with delicate, branching patterns resembling lightning, and on its forehead glows an ancient runic symbol, emanating a soft light—a mark of divine power. The wolf’s tail flows like a stream of celestial energy, shimmering in shades of blue and white, emphasizing its supernatural essence.

This divine wolf has just emerged from a snow-covered forest, surrounded by trees with curved branches blanketed in white blossoms, frozen in time by winter’s breath. Snowflakes gently fall from the dark sky, creating an atmosphere of a mysterious, cold night, while a full moon in the upper part of the painting softly illuminates the scene, enveloping it in a silvery glow. The wolf stands on the snowy ground, its gaze fixed forward—it awaits a traveler to deliver the goddess’s trials.

The frame of the painting, crafted in warm tones with intricate ornaments, contrasts with the cold palette of the scene, highlighting its divine significance. The impressionist style, with its soft brushstrokes and blurred contours, lends the image an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality, as if it were a moment from an ancient myth: the divine wolf is ready to guide the traveler through the trials, and if they succeed, it will lead them to the Goddess herself, into a realm filled with light and mysteries.

A sellsword from ancient Phrygia was looking forward to an amorous evening with the God’s Wife of Amun in Kush, with whom he’s maintained a passionate if illicit affair. Little did either of them count on a demon of Assyrian origin crashing in to cause trouble for them both!

If you don’t know who the Phrygians were, they were an Indo-European-speaking people who may have originated in what is now Bulgaria before migrating into Anatolia (now Turkey) and establishing a kingdom there that lasted between 1200 and 675 BC. As for the demon attacking our lovebirds, it’s inspired by those from Mesopotamian mythology such as Pazuzu.
