Day 6: Medea

day 6: Medea

BACK ON TRACK WOHOOOOOOO

I HAD FUN DOING HER DESIGN!! idc yellow eyes aren’t a thing, she’s a descendant of Helios and i do what i want /j

Medea is. something! i’ve never read the original source material (if there is any), but my first encounter with her myth was through Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero! which i’ve been reading as of recent

gotta say, it was odd seeing her depiction in PJO vs her actual myth. like.. in PJO she’s very clearly antagonistic, someone who shouldn’t be trusted

meanwhile in her myth, while she did intentionally kill her brother in cold blood- that just seems on brand for Greek myth characters

like.. Patroclus killed another kid over a game and Hercules killed his music teacher, and they’re both regarded as heroes

anyhow she’s just the protagonist of a murder ballad /j

don’t have much to say for her design. i think i leaned too heavily into her the Helios-descendant thing (sun earrings, tan skin, and when drawing the portrait gave her freckles) but oh well

i am now a Medea apologist /j

a WIP i drew, hopefully i’ll finish it

welcome and hello!

day 1 of Classicstober: Cassandra 

OKAY ITS A BIT LATE AT NIGHT BUT IM ATTEMPTING THIS!! im gonna try making a design and then portrait for each character, and staring off with… Cassandra!

her design was primarily based off Evelyn De Morgan’s painting, just with some different colors. the pins holding her clothing together have a sun emblem on them, as homage to how she got her prophecy ability from Apollo

ALSO if i ever draw her again, i want to do something associating her with ravens. as ravens, while considered omens due to being carrion birds and with black feathers, are also considered to represent prophecy due to their ability to “talk”! apparently they were considered a messenger of Apollo in some myth, which is a nice homage too!

i gave her black hair and blue eyes based off ravens (even if ravens gain brown eyes when they grow older but shshh i liked the aesthetic)

but that’s it! i wanna draw her again sometime

you ever wonder if the artists behind these giggled to themselves as they made these creations

A collection of ancient ceramic paintings depicting Achilles in a blanket being miserable and pathetic.

That's the post. Sorry that some of these are mircowave quality.

I can't really pick a favorite, I like them all equally. They're just so silly looking.

it’s the sillies

the one on the left is Keiji i just thought it’d be funny to give him a trench coat (he’s a detective-kinda, he deserves a funny trench coat) and grown out hair roots cause it’s a nice contrast to the piss yellow hair

the one on the right is Nozomi, an oc of mine! no other comment about her (for now)
