I'm invested in your Hades and Persephone art and I'm overe here like 👀 for the fic. Where are you planning to upload it once you're done? If you have an Ao3 please drop a link so I can subscribe!
I’m so excited to see interest in the story!! I swear it’s coming along!
I want to have a large enough number of chapters written before I start sharing so that I can post consistently.
I’ll be honest I’m pretty new to this so I’m kinda vacillating between two or three platforms at the moment 😂 I don’t know enough about Ao3’s platform to give a definitive answer but I’m looking into it for sure!
Actually, if anybody has recommendations on sites that are good for posting writing, I’m open to suggestions!
Thank you so much, Anon! I’ll keep y’all posted!

Lemme tell ya, I love Hermes
He’s such a good supporting character
And in the little au/story I’ve got cooked up, he plays a huge role because honestly how could I not include him? He’s too charming! 😂
Thank you, so much @thepinkestpug!!

Reblogging from my writing page to share some fun development things from my novel — I’ve been really working on developing these characters and their dynamics
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I want to get into the habit of sharing more of my visual development art for my novel — most of it is rough or unfinished, but that’s kind of fun right?
Anywho, my nearly complete cast of characters and a lot of the recent design work I’ve done for them!

I just wanted to say that I freaking love all of your work and apologize beforehand with the way this note is, it's hard for me to put words together but I absolutely love the Hades and Persephone and TMNT drawings. The way you draw reminds me of comic book covers honestly. I found your account around six months ago, and I have loved all of the work that you have come up with over the months. But, I immediately followed you after I saw your Hades and Persephone drawings. Hades has been my favorite Disney character ever since I saw it in theaters as a kid. In addition, the movie spiraled me into learning about Greek mythologies, which made me fall in love with Persephone, and their relationship together. So, to make this short, cause this is already getting too long, your Hades and Persephone work always makes me smile when I see them and give me that amazing childhood nostalgia. So thank you! <3333 I can't wait to see what else you come up with!
I have no idea how long this message has been sitting in my inbox and I sincerely hope you’re able to see my response now but —
Thank you so so much!! You’re so kind, Anon! I know it’s probably been a while but this definitely made my day 🩷 🩷
It’s always a pleasure to hear that my art inspires people! I love making it and knowing other people enjoy it too makes the process of sharing it worthwhile!!
Persephone is such a fantastic mythological character and I just want to do her the best justice possible!

Did you know that Bobcat Goldthwait, the guy who voices Pain, is best friends with Tom Kenny, the guy who voices SpongeBob? I love imagining Pain and Spongebob being best friends 🫠
I did not know this but that is extremely funny!! And cool!!
The chaotic energy of this cross-over would be insane

Hey I just saw your wolf walkers sketch of Mebh and the wolf and I was just wondering what type of pencil did you use to sketch it out first? I've been trying to find whatever it's called everywhere. Thank you!
I get this question a lot and I should probably make a master post of traditional art supply recs honestly 😂
I use a Pentel Graphgear 500 architect pencil with .5 Pentel brand blue lead! It’s great for getting those really fine lines!

hi!!! I've been obsessing over your art for a bit
something about how you do proportions and how everything you do looks and feels like a 3d object makes me so so happy?@;_?@$+ any tips on that front?!
Hey!! Thank you so much!!
My best advice is to draw from life. A lot of the time achieving volume comes from just observing things is really close detail!!
Life drawing classes are excellent for this — you spend a lot of time focusing on the shape of forms rather than minute details which gives you a greater sense of the over all shape!
Pinterest has a ton of excellent references you can draw from if a class isn’t in your budget!

How would goddesses like Hera, Aphrodite, Artemis, and etc would react to Persephone and Hades being an “item”? 😁
So this is a really really fun question I’ve been thinking a lot about recently!
It’s pretty well established on Olympus that Persephone is a little odd — she doesn’t prefer to hang out with the Olympians and her mom keeps her well enough under wraps that no one, with the exception of a very special few, have ever really had the opportunity to get to know her.
Of course, Persephone does spend most of her time on earth, so she’s bound to meet gods on their daily rounds.
Aphrodite and Persephone tend to work in tandem so I like to think they have a pretty decent relationship. When they cross paths (which is infrequently considering they work in such close proximity, I like to think Demeter tries to keep Persephone as far away from love as possible) they’re friendly.
Hades also targets Aphrodite romantically in the series a lot, so I imagine she’s actually pretty relieved when he finally finds a suitable partner to settle down with (Sidenote, but in their story she’s definitely pulling some strings to make this happen).
Artemis spends as little time as she can manage with other deities, but I imagine she’s also in decent standing with Demeter as the Goddess of the wilds so when it comes to Persephone’s social life, she’s considered safe company. That being said, both Persephone and Artemis are introverted cusses that prefer their solitude to the company of fellow gods, so I don’t think they’d have a deep enough relationship for Artemis to feel one way or the other about Persy’s romance with Hades. She’s real practical. To each her own, she says.
Except, perhaps, Artemis might experience the same general sense of relief as the rest of Olympians now that Hades isn’t mucking around in her business.
As for Hera — I firmly believe she’d be in full support of their union. There’s a lot of benefits to Hades being married; for one, it’s tiresome managing his misbehavior, let alone cleaning up after him. Persephone indirectly curbs his chaotic tendencies, thus he can no longer upset the fragile order of life on Olympus. Giant bonus. Plus, I think as goddess of marriage, she’d genuinely like the idea of Olympus’s loneliest singles finding one another. 🩷
I hope this answers your question, anon!!
