Description
NYX was the goddess of the night, one of the ancient Protogenoi (first-born elemental gods). Nyx was a primeval goddess usually represented as simply the substance of night: a veil of dark veil of mist drawn forth from the underworld which blotted out the light of Aither (shining upper atmosphere). Her opposite number was Hemera (Day), who scattered the mists of night, or Eos, the goddess of the dawn.
This was done as a study for one of a series of paintings inspired by Alphonse Mucha.
Edited and composited in Adobe Photoshop. Original images shot with a Canon 10D SLR.
