Mars and Venus Emoti-Artby `Mirz123

Customization / Emoticons / Visual Purpose Emotes

My non-competing entry for the #Emoti-Art contest where players were asked to submit an emoticon version of a classic painting.

I love this painting and have for such a long time. I meant to emote it before this contest and am happy I had an excuse to spend the 5 hours it took me on this. The title is Mars & Venus, the two Roman gods. It's by Louis Jean Francoise Lagrenee.

To see the original picture and a comparison between the two, see my Scraps here ---> [link]

As for any nit-picks about the expressions, I with such small scale, it was impossible to replicate the expressions of the original piece. I tried to keep the spirit, with Mar's looks and Venus's coy playfulness.

It's a good thing this is a non-competing entry, but I wouldn't have stood a chance to win against the other artists who entered. But I am happy with this piece.
