This is a storyboard exercise on the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The story goes that Orpheus and Eurydice got married but on their wedding day the girl was bit by a serpent in the ankle and died. Then Orpheus went down to Hades to beseech the Gods to let Eurydice come back to the land of the living. In order to move them he played his Lyre and sang a beautiful song about their love. The God's being touched by the song let the girl go on the condition that Orpheus would not turn back to look at her as they travel up to the surface. Unfortunately the bloke turns right at the last moment and the girl gets pulled back down to hades. There is more to it but it's besides the point to write about it now. Look up the story if you are interested it is not copyrighted? ;-).
My storyboard is on the Orpheus trip from Thrace down to the Peloponnese to find the entrance to Hades. One his way he has flashbacks of Eurydice's death. I kept the sketches rough on pencil and brought them into Photoshop to color them in. Comments please?
