(Fan)Art: Boy Gods and Birds - Irish Mythology/Nameless (G)
Title: Boy Gods and Birds
Fandom:/Source Material: Irish Mythology / Nameless
Rating: G
Characters: Aengus / The Boy
Deviant Art Link: HERE
Notes: 'Glass' style painting of two boy gods and their birds.
Top: Spring Aengus from Irish Mythology, the spirit of love, youth and poetry. He traditionally had four small birds that flew around his head, representing the four kisses left at the end of love letters. He also turned himself into a bird on more than one occasion.
Bottom: Winter The Boy from Sam Starbuck's Nameless. Explaining his connection to birds would be a spoiler, so read the book! You can order it here: [link]
I was just thinking about the Boy in relation to the birds, and it reminded me of Aengus - who I once wrote a story about - and his own birds. And then I knew the title of the picture and had to draw it :D
