This is a painting that I had wanted to do now for weeks and finally decided to take a little time from my freelance stuff to paint it. Let me know what you think!

Here is some info on this Myth:
Prometheus is a Titan who in Greek mythology is credited with the creation of man from clay and the theft of fire for human use, an act that enabled progress and civilization. He is known for his intelligence, and as a champion of mankind.

The punishment of Prometheus as a consequence of the theft is a major theme of his mythology. Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, sentenced the Titan to eternal torment for his transgression. The immortal Prometheus was bound to a rock, where each day an eagle, the emblem of Zeus, was sent to feed on his liver, only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day.

That's a huge @#$%^&! eagle. Compared to a titan, anyway.
