Circe and her lions

My second submission to ' monthly theme.

"Aiaia, an island in the eastern extremity of the Mediterranean, though some believe it to be in the Black Sea. It is almost uninhabited, except for Circe the Sorceress and her servants who live in a house of polished stone, surrounded by the thick bushes and trees in the midst of a large valley. Travelers are warned that a visit to Aiaia may change their outlook on life, as Circe usually transforms her guests into wolves, lions and pigs.
(Homer, The Odyssey, 9th cen. [?] BC)"

There is no one more worthy of being turned into Circe than ~Kadikas. I've wanted to use those stock photos for a long time, and I finally got to it.
Yes, I should have been writing. Well, I will now. Won't be easy, because the hour is late. Picture took me at least 4 hours. '

STOCK USED:

=Ayelie-stock (texture [link])
*resurgere (sky)
~MossCowStock (the lions)
*kuschelirmel-stock (brushes)

The rest comes from personal resources and my fiddling with my tablet.
