I know we’re all going crazy over Hera not showing up but WHERE IS ATHENA??

At least we know her canon design, I’ve wanted to know how Hera would look in the Hades game for years.

*Notes: I love making comics but find the writing process difficult, this is something I need to work on, as I have so many ideas but struggle to write them out. I stumbled upon Lucian's Dialogues on Tumblr and thought his charming, tongue-in-cheek style would be a good way for me to practice my comic-making. :')

"Lucian of Samosata was a Greek satirist who flourished in the region of Commagene near Syria in the C2nd A.D. He was the author of numerous works, which include: The Dialogues of the Gods, Dialogues of the Sea Gods, and Dialogues of the Dead."

I opted for a simple color scheme because as much as I love full-color comics, it would take me so much longer to get this done.

Apollo and Artemis 🏹🌿✨

I really enjoyed to make this piece! I did the lineart traditionally and painted it digitally

This piece was based on an attic red-figure cup from the 4th century BCE

hades 2 made hestia a petty hater

Not really? She’s got an edge to her and it makes sense that she’s introverted since she barely shows up in mythology which means she barely engages with her family and their drama, and who could blame her? For me she’s the cool auntie that rarely shows up at family gatherings but is fun af and swears in front of the kids lol

#it makes sense that she has a fiery personality she’s literally a fire goddess #greek mythology #ancient greek mythology #greek pantheon #Hestia #hestia greek mythology #hestia goddess #hades game #hades ii #hades 2 #hades supergiant

Dionysus and Ariadne for @margaretkart! She's wearing the famous Minoan priestess outfit with belt, apron and flounces, with a pose inspired by classic romance comic artist Nell Brinkley.

rough Apollo and Artemis concepts. Design notes: In my gods' designs, when they have a mortal parent their eyes aren't completely blank white and have some sort of iris and/or pupil. I've mentioned this before but all my olympians have gold markings on their body. Artemis' gold markings are meant to be sort of fang-tusk like. Their hair has their mom's texture but zeus' color.
