The Titan Prometheus portrayed in the center, seated, is intent on observing his creature: the man, still an inert clay puppet, rigidly stretched out at his feet: life, the soul, has not yet been yet infused in his body. And even though Eros and a Cupid push and force Psyche, the soul, she does not want to enter that body with pleasure,

"The Serenity was absolutely not a reference," says Ben Procter, who did most of the design work on the exterior of the Prometheus — in spite of some fans' insistence that the movie's ship looks a bit like the famous vessel from Firefly. But there were hints of the Nostromo in there, and maybe a bit of a shout-out to artist Chris Foss, who worked on the original Alien.
The early work on the Prometheus was done by Steve Burg, who left the project early on. Says Procter:
Steve's early illustrations showcased the major features which were of interest to Ridley and Arthur early on — the four main thrusters which could pivot radically for different modes of flight, a descending airlock which allowed vehicular access to the planet surface, and an overall imposing "oil platform" look when the craft is standing on the ground with all of its work lighting on. There's no question the ship has Nostromo DNA in it, but in continuing Steve's work I also kept in mind Ridley and Arthur's desire for more aeronautical elegance and performance. It's a flagship prospecting vessel, not a "tow truck", and Ridley said it could hover and dive "like a Blackhawk". The final result is meant to look muscular but beautiful, with a speedy look but also enough exposed hardware to feel tough and functional. I explored many color schemes and the one Ridley picked is actually a bit Fossian with its bold black and yellow stripes.

About 85% done. See how much stuff changes over time!?...This is probably missing parts of the old you may have liked, fear not I have them saved for other projects.
I wanted to deviate from the "space sausage" so I made alterations. Kind an homage to Studio Nue rather than Homeworld-esque . I just need to fill in greebly bits in between the panels.
It is unfortunate that this bears the same name as the upcoming movie, but my daughter has been doing Greek mythology and I had some macross stickers.
Had a nice family day out visiting Madam Tussaud's, The London Eye and the Sealife Centre.
We used the underground to get about as it was quick and easy and being me with camera in hand I grabbed a few shots between venues.
Can't remember where this was taken as I was grabbing shots on the move.
Done some extreme processing for a bit of fun.
Must be seen on black please Press 'L' on your keyboard to view on black.

Warm up wall in Bochum, I struggled a bit and not too happy with outcome, but it was great to meet Dater, HIFI and WERT from Italy!
Ancient Classical sources have it that Prometheus, a Titan, and the son of Iapetus, granted to mankind the secret of fire (among other things), much against the wishes of Zeus.
As punishment, Zeus sentenced Prometheus to be chained to a rock in the Caucasus Mountains.
There, a great eagle (the symbol of Zeus) feasted daily upon Prometheus' liver. Being immortal, his liver and body regenerated every night only to be redevoured each day by the eagle. This went on for 30,000 years until the indomitable Herakles arrives on the scene, liberating Prometheus by killing the eagle.

A couple of builder's notes:
1) Why white?
a) The Titans were often associated with this colour. They were said, according to some sources to be beings of "white clay" and thay they covered themselves with white gypsum dust during their rituals. In fact the name of the element Titanium is derived from the Greek "Titanos", meaning Titans, or the "First Sons of the Earth".
b) I have a lot of white LEGO.
2) Sources include Nicolas-Sébastien Adam's incredible sculpture of this scene, completed in 1757. Also Laconian black-figure amphoriskos, approx. C6th B.C.

77/100 - Myth
"Prometheus' Passions"
When I was coming up with some of the themes for this project, I thought of this one because I had this idea in mind before I even planned on doing this project. Prometheus was a Greek Titan god, who was tasked with crafting men out of clay. After he made man, he later stole fire to give to man, an act which gave man the ability to progress and start civilization.
I wanted to portray the moment when man broke from the mold and started to be free.
Rockefeller Plaza, New York
"Paul Manship's highly recognizable bronze gilded statue of the Greek legend of the Titan Prometheus recumbent, bringing fire to mankind, features prominently in the sunken plaza at the front of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The model for Prometheus was Leonardo (Leon) Nole, and the inscription from Aeschylus, on the granite wall behind, reads: "Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends." Although some sources cite it as the fourth-most familiar statue in the United States, behind the Lincoln Memorial, Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty, Manship was not particularly fond or proud of it."

The burial of Saint Hilary of Arles: a pagan sarcophagus for a Christian bishop.
The decoration of the sarcophagus main side is dedicated to the myth of the creation of man and to his fate summarized by the three Moirai (Parcae) carved in central position. Although the composition is clear and orderly assembled, the scene is particularly complex.
To left, the Titan Prometheus, in his identity as creator of men, is portrayed as a seated sculptor modeling a little boy out of clay. Immediately to his right Athena, as goddess of reason and culture. This is the same Athena whom we shall meet again and again as the patroness of learning and culture. The head of Helios decorated by rays of sunlight is carved behind Athena. The presence of the god Sun in the far left of the scene means the beginning of a new life. Near the statuettes created by Prometheus there is Hermes, the escort of souls. The god is recognizable by his main attributes: petasos and caduceus. He pushes the spirit (Psyche) – represented in the form of a winged female figure - inside the body of one of the statuettes made by Prometheus. The female figure standing before Hermes is Lachesis, one of the Moirai (Fates), who determines the horoscope of the newly born child. She holds a sphere, representation of the celestial globe, and a bag; next to her there is her sister Clotho, spinning the thread of life. In a rightmost position, the third Moira, Atropos, is seated on a stool. She unrolls the scroll of fate reading the destiny of the human beings. It is Atropos who, when time is over, slices the tenuous thread of life. Between Clotho and Atropos the god Poseidon is represented with two female characters. The leftmost figure represent Selene recognizable by the crescent moon adorning her hair and the stars carved on the background of the sarcophagus chest. Here, the goddess is the counterpart of Helios carved on the far left corner of the scene summarizing the parabola of the human life from birth to death.
The female character wrapped in a mantel, standing in the right corner of the scene, is the deceased woman moving toward the Styx river here represented by his river divinity. In the lower right corner Tellus.
