Kyparissos was one of Apollo's lovers, who held a tame deer like a close friend. When he accidentally killed the animal, he was so unhappy that he wanted to die. But Apollo convinced him to live. He transformed him into a cyprus tree (symbol for mourning).

Here’s the reason I’ve been so quiet lately! Finally finished up these oil paintings for Encounters with the Imaginary Vol. 3, now funding on Kickstarter! https://t.co/Sb1Doi634I They illustrate the Greek myth of Kyparissos and his stag, from Ovid’s Metamorphoses.

A couple more progress shots of the painting, a couple days apart (the closeup is more recent). Getting closer and closer to the finish line!
