More stuff from Paris the musical but this time with Helen, since it seems I don't draw her enough
Eh eh eh catchy song goes brrrrrr
Agamemnon the petty bitch and Menelaus the people pleaser (and with people I mean his brother,what a great wingman)
this song gives me the vibes of those stereotypical scenes where the mobsters are all in a room full of smoke where they play poker, so the cigar on Agamemnon is a must
Side note I'll probably make more sketches about Paris in court, because it's such a funny song, Achilles and Patroclus are just mean girls gossiping and I dig their vibe
Odysseus is the caretaker of the group, he is too high and mighty to lower himself to the level of the others,go on king 🙌
Could you draw a visualization of doomed by the narrative please?
I have many examples of characters that are doomed by the narrative, literally all the characters in Greek tragedies, but I made these two as a first example, a god and a mortal
I wanted to make Cassandra since you know, she always knew her destiny and nobody listened to her, so yeah that was a great example but then I thought that even Helen knew that her beauty would just lead to destruction and death, in some version she even gets killed for her "sin" but I'm not gonna talk about that :D
So yeah I took a perfect line from the musical Paris that Cassandra says.
And then we have Ares or more specifically my interpretation and vision of Ares, I always like to make jokes at his expense, I mean you are a god of war but you always end up losing... But I think he also has more depth than what I like to show, and that's when he wears his armour, don't get me wrong he is a douche in both versions but I think that when he puts his helmet and cloak on he is a different type of person.
GUYS GUYS GUYS I'M LITERALLY GETTING OBSESSED WITH PARIS THE MUSICAL
I've been listening to "any fool could see" on repeat for hours, Helen's voice just scratches my brain in the right way. Her impatience and rage in the first is just... Chef kiss
Here are some concepts design, if I ever make an animatic i want them to be simple as possible to replicate
I really love how you draw menelaus, could we have more doodles of him and helen being all lovey-dovey?
In the version of my story they met a few years before her choice in the palace stables in Sparta and on the day of her choice Menelaus gave her a white horse.
Clytemnestra doesn't know if she should support her or not...
Gods, I love them so much, they are never gonna convince me that they never loved each other and she willingly followed Paris just like that.
I've recently listened to the musical Paris, I really liked it, the man was full on delusional👁️👁️
