I Want To Draw But The Innate Urge To Scrap My Entire Art Style And Try To Draw In A Way I Want To But

I want to draw but the innate urge to scrap my entire art style and try to draw in a way I want to but would have to spend so much time physically re-doing things and digitally is so annoying.

Trying to draw Percy (digitally, I forgot paper to draw traditionally. I might lament and draw Pompey or something) to get into a better mood, he’s the first character I draw ever when considering a new style.

Might just go read the Aeneid to clear my head. But the itch to work on the art is never ending.

I don’t even post my art on here that often lol. But I’d like to say that I need to get my hands on some paper. Drawing digitally is draining my spirit, please-

There. That is all the art I will produce this night. Yes that is my visual representation of me. The art won’t art guys.

But once I get home I’ll get back on the Camp Jupiter map grind. Now I just gotta… work a lot of things out.

*don’t mind the arm far from the camera I forgot a line that makes it look a little less weird but oh well I just scribbled that for the post so no one cares about the stupid shoulder on the character that literally defies all semblance of anatomy and that’s part of the joke*

Octavian!

Do I know what I am going to write in this? Vaguely. More headcanons because I want to take a break from that rendering of Octavian because I want to work and make something better than putting effort into something I won’t be proud of or whatever.

Also I just want to keep talking about him but whatever,

Octavian never been outside of Camp Jupiter/New Rome is canon in my mind. There have been very few times he has been outside the little bubble, which were,

The Wolf House: where he really just stayed close to the house (obvi. Course I’d love to talk more about the exacts but since we get no information about the wolf house though it’d be a pretty good way to start SoN and then seamlessly blend us into a timeskip of the Gorgon chase but whatever- we are given no information about the wolf house either and aaaaa-) but the Wolf House Octavian mentality was survive through with his wits and try to survive enough to run out of there as soon as possible when he has the training done.

His quest: we get no information on it, but we know that he had to do a quest to become a Centurion (Can confirm this is a rule, check the Senate scene near the beginning, I believe it was Larry the legionnaire that yelled it) though we also, sadly, get no indication what this question was. But I’d like to introduce the idea that it was a duo quest with Michael and Octavian and they became Centurions together (I’ll probably re-read this and then add more on later) but I’d assume this Question also has them steeped pretty deep into the mythological side of the world and they didn’t get much down time. But what little of the mortal world Octavian saw he thought was pretty cool- though he still thinks New Rome looks better. (Because if anyone walks up to me and says the current era of architecture we’re in is better than anything that predates the freaking 1950’s is lying to me and trying to make me buy a house. We have fallen as a society when we started thinking ultra minimalist boring homes that are devoid of any depth or visual interest was the best route to go for our buildings. But that’s another rant from me for another day-)

Siege of Mt.Tam: they had to travel the smallest bit for this but again, didn’t interact with the mortal world much, they all stayed pretty self contained to the temporary camp and the mountain itself.

The cross country trip to go attack the Greeks: this is the one we’re shown in canon or whatever. But this was probably the most chaotic of the times that Octavian had been out of Camp. It was a lot to deal with, really overwhelming to be stuck with everyone with no where to move or anything. But this would be the most he would really interact with stuff like fast food chains, gas stations, all the stuff. And New York, that was a thing that happened. I believe they briefly passed through New York (we know that at some point they’re inside of New York from the Rachel scene if I remember properly) and that meant Hotels, it was similar enough to the barracks that it was fine. Though I think that the whiplash from New Rome to this made Octavian a lot more hesitant about stuff like these cities. He likes modern culture to some extent (insert another Build-a-bear joke. And if anyone asks, I believe he totally gets them delivered to calcedott tunnel instead of going out to a physical store. He has never had the experience and childlike splendor of making one that that needs to change.)

Anyway yeah. I would also like to say that Octavian is okay on a string instrument. However I would like to say that he put all his eggs into one figurative basket when he was a small child by learning one full song only. A 6 year old Octavian skipped over learning reading notes and whatever and just copying the motions until it sounded okay. He doesn’t really know how to read stuff like notes or whatever but has a pretty okay sense of Rhythm.

Don’t ask him to dance though. Octavian may look a little more elegant moving around or fighting but he is an actual newborn giraffe.

Okay that’s all I have for now. Have a rad time and I’ll get out the next couple passes of the CJ map.

IM DRAWING BABY FRESH FACED OCTAVIAN

not like baby-baby but little stick bug 12 year old Octavian,

This was really quick and fast because I just wanted to have fun and HEHEHEH

Octavian is so silly and i guess this qualifies as concept art for baby Octavian

Sorry the shading might look a little weird on some parts I was on a multiply layer and just messing around

Anyway I haven’t posted art in a while but like whatever, it’s my page when have I ever been concistent

Gonna work on some schoolwork but I’m gonna get a post out about my thoughts on how Camp Jupiter views powers/Godly inherited abilities soon.

Also map will probably be drawn.. at some point :D

Pjo tv show spoilers!!

LOOK AT THIS MAN!!!

LOOK AT HIM!!

Where did he get his shirt? I need it

THE ENTIRE DAD SCENE WAS SO SILLY

Anyway I watched the 1st 2 episodes with @spheroz and a friend and it was so fun!!!!!

Lityerses (Specifically Pjo canon Lit) hc where he has flecks of gold discolored skin/freckles from all the times that his Dad accidentally turned him to gold (omg I typed stone originally-)?
