I think I have received one of the greatest compliments about my art ever.

Spoiler: it's thanks to two suffering little greek blorbos. [Drawing in question is below]

Basically I'm attending this afternoon workshop at my school where we're working on several drawings to put up in my school's hallways. To oversee me and my other peers who are attending, there's my art teacher (one of my favourite human beings) and an actually professional artist.

I decided to do something related to Dante's Inferno since it's what we're doing in class and the artist walks by me, sees what I'm drawing and immediatly exclaims all cheerful "man, I LOVE how absolutely miserable they look!"

The other kids look at us with what I can only describe as vivid concern.

I was drawing Odysseus and Diomedes.

And yeah, I fully consider this to be the peak of my career, it's all downwards from here boys!

Drew a little bit of that audio of Logan Cunningham reading the Iliad

Achilles’ armors both versions. These are ancient armors inspired, please do not use them as an actual source.

For version 1, I mainly use Dendra armor as ref, so it will look more bulky. The tuft on the helmet will float a bit like fire. Overall the armor is very light reflective and bright. I added a cape because, uh, dramatic effect.

Version 2 will basically demolish almost every characteristic of version 1. Way less reflective, and will be shaded with more black. This armor will prioritize his speed and swift foot nature instead of protection. The helmet will have 4 horns (since he is now more beast than man) and the tuft will even look more like wild fire. After unaliving Hector, he tore the old cape and tied it around his torso, however I am considering the option of one shoulder cape.
