Description Son of Aphrodite and Ares, as well as the leader of the Erotes, Eros is the God of love in the traditional sense of the word. A young mischievous teenage boy, often found with a rabbit. Eros carries a bow, in which he shoots people, making them fall in love. With Olympus in turmoil, Aphrodite sent Eros down to protect her beloved daughter, but on the trip to the mortal world, Eros was attacked. The winged god could only evade the attacks for so long until he was hit and crashed down into the Earth, forgetting everything about himself. Every now and then he remembers bits and pieces, but until then, he refers to himself as Riley.

I saw this picture on tumblr and I've always wanted to draw it cause it reminded me so much of Riley. Plus the model held such a sad expression, something that looked of longing, and this idea came to me. So here's Riley thinking hard, trying to remember everything about who he really is.

Oh my goodness, this is just so beautiful Jason. I love how there is so much expression and emotion on his face, and his eyes are closed. Your hair is always amazing and looks realistic, and I also envy how you can draw spiky hair like that. I love the detail of his eyelashes too. Also great job at the Adam’s apple, just enough of the profile of it so it looks not out of place. It’s really easy to forget it and do a straight curve or over exaggerate it. You walk the line of just enough very well sir. I also love his top and hoody combo, they look great against his skin. And I love how the drawstrings come down to complete the bottom of the image. <3 The simple background really adds to the overall emotiveness of the image.

This is AMAZING! I have so many questions. I need so many answers.
First of all this is obviously perfect and I'm so glad you referenced that picture because we obviously came to the conclusion that it was void of any and all flaws, and your drawing only enhanced that. I loveee the colors you chose for this given his back story, and also because the soft colors look so good with his skin tone and hair. The hair itself is fantastic, though. It's literally perfect. But ugh! His profile. Everything is so square and precisely angular. He looks like a model, which, again, given his back story, I love. Seriously, I can't get over how absolutely beautiful this entire drawing is. Everything about it. I can't wait to hear more about this later. <3
