Trying to draw more of my other favorite gods, back to the time of Dionysus and his newly wedded Ariadne, again, setting to flew somewhere where the sun doesn’t set for their early honeymoon vacation; after sweet kisses that tasted of wine, honey and mead, and turning all of their wedding gifts into stars and constellations.

For the closeups shots, Dionysus’s jewelries and necklaces were based on both Mesopotamian, Egyptian and earlier Minoan Greek samples; since there are a few myths that he wandering to all over West Asia and some parts of India to teaching the world about wine making and its fermentation. While most of Ariadne’s clothings were based on murals of Minoan women and jewelries that were found in the ancient cities of Akrotiri and Heraklion in Thera. (Now near modern day Santorini.)

For all of it’s macabre feeding habits, the Loggerhead shrike’s song is surprisingly sweet. I’ve been admiring this species for quite some time and I was so thrilled to finally chance upon one in the wild!
