Gortash's big hairy naturals enjoyer

Struck by besmusement in midmotion,

And pause in worshipful devotion

At beauty's sacred shrine to pray"

"Beauty" Alexander Pushkin, 1832

Dear Raphael, golden statues are certainly rich and majestic, but firstly, it don't look like you, and secondly, it's just lifeless metal pieces. So accept this gift from me. The artist put her soul (literally) into this work to embody your perfection in noble white marble.

And, what can I say in the end? Enjoy, sunshine😊, whatever you want!)

Also leave the link to my google drive, where you can download this art in original quality (don't worry, it's free) (I just crying, becose Tumblr cut the colors again😭)

Full text Excerpt from the text:

I created Bogdan from two parts.

The first is Russian and Tatar cultures and in particular fairy tales, or rather their similarities and differences, which have fascinated me since childhood. Tatars and Russians have been neighboring nations since ancient times, but due to the difference in cultures and lifestyles, and also because they often fought with each other, the fairy tales and legends of these nationalities sometimes have very interesting features and nuances in comparison with each other.

I wanted to make a character that looks a lot like a Russian Bogatyr (some kind of medieval superhero) and even has some of the same qualities (Bogdan is big and strong, quite cunning and not stupid), but like… you look at him through the eyes of a person from another culture, so he seems fucking creepy to you, lol.
