Artist's Comments

I recently heard this song "masturbation generation" and it unavoidably made me think of the god Hermes.

Why? First of all, the philosopher Diogenes once told a story that Hermes was the one that invented masturbation. He later taught it to his son Pan, who was hot for a girl he couldn't get. Pan taught it to the shepherds and the habit spread to all of humanity (or to the men at least. I don't know if female masturbation was included in the story).

And second, the name of the group is "Psychopomps". A psychopomp is a creature whose responsibility is to escort newly-deceased souls to the afterlife and Hermes is probably one of the best known psychopomps. What a coincidence!

Interesting bit of synchronicity! :XD: I remember Diogenes once said, "If only it were as easy to banish hunger by rubbing the belly as it is to masturbate." (Or something like that.)

Awesome picture! Keep up the good work

How about Poseidon dancing to "Under the Sea" (from Little Mermaid) next:)?

Thank you! I'll do my best.

Haha! That would be fun. But I've only drawn Poseidon once and I'm not quite pleased with his design.
:iconjoyhorse13:
Eh, I saw your drawing of Pseidon, I think its really good. (But again, it's all up to you):)
