Tchaï

As mentioned yesterday: the drawing of Odysseus, Ctimene and Eumaeus as kids, with Hermes disguised as a tortoise, introducing himself as their great-grandfather and you know Eumaeus is also there.

When I was drawing Diomedes as a kid, this image suddenly popped up in my head. I didn't finish or render any of the background, because when I was starting I thought the drawing looked worse. I actually think the white makes it look more dramatic.

One of my friends really likes this drawing. He joked that maybe Hermes himself gave me some divine inspiration for this, which I personally think would be one of the funniest things ever. Other gods: "Draw me as the godly god I am" and Hermes would just be like "Draw me as a tortoise".

Some cover art I've made for my upcoming webcomic (Athena's Champions).

I visited a church some time ago and I saw this altar sculpture with angels on each side, I thought they would be nice poses to give to Odysseus and Diomedes. Odysseus' face ended up looking a bit weird, it's one of the first times I've drawn a face in this angle and whatever adjustment I made just made it worse, so I put it back to the original (the nose bothers me, immensely).

These are my designs for Athena in my future webcomic Athena's Champions. It's a bit messy and not completely finished, but it would be ok to post it.

The first image is my original design, I made it a few months ago. I wanted the gods to have something different so I based their facial characteristics on Mycenaean and Minoan goddess figurines, they often have facial decoration. Some just have a brow that is connected, others have suns painted on their cheeks, and one had the entire nose and part of the forehead painted, I thought it would fit nicely for my desing of Athena.

The last image was an attempt at making a more updated version of the design, but it ended up being a bit messy. It also got to a point where I have so many layers open, that I have no clue where what part of the drawing is. I actually wanted to make a first cover art for my webcomic, with Athena in the back, Odysseus and Diomedes in the front. I might finish it in the future, but at the moment I'm too frustrated with it, so I'm just going to let it go for a while.

I'll share my other designs maybe tomorrow. I've been working on this webcomic for about 3 years now and everytime I get stuck, so the final designs are only now being put together. But at the very least I now have a sort of outline for the chapters and a few of them have been written already, so it has some evolution.
