    The Ferryman

    I really enjoy mythology and find Charon to be a very intriguing character, I figured I'd give him a meager attempt.

    Sorry for the bad photo, I'm not using the best camera and it's metallic acrylic which I'm not having a great time getting a picture of!

    Looking for a one time hire for my new book cover. Nothing dark or anime related but a light jazzy humorous feel.
