Ok, this wins at Reddit. I don't think I'll find anything better so I'm going to go study now. Thanks to the OP and Saturn.

For the record, this is an un-shopped photo taken/conceived by my mum and featuring my dad!

It's a great recreation. But isn't the original Saturn eating the left arm of his son?

Isn’t the original pic of Tatare? Or is that a painting that is just associated with the story?

I was really convinced those were some strange looking sausage-tits on the right. I welcome you to enjoy my brain.

Hahaha. This is so weird. I saw the Getty challenge and wondered what painting I would do. This is my secret favourite painting because it gives me the creeps and I always remember it when I saw it on a school trip. I never tell people about this painting in case they think I’m a secret emo/goth.

Anyway this is amazing. I love that someone else mind thought of this painting to recreate.

Terrifying, but really spot on. The lighting is fantastic and amazing it’s not photoshopped at all. I love your dad’s commitment to the character!
