Octavians Belt Situation

Octavian’s belt situation

Okay! Uh, instead of working more on another gods foresaken map post (I swear-) instead of doing. That to myself more I found it much more interesting to think about Octavian’s plushie belt situation.

Octavian cannonically has a belt that goes over his toga/just over his clothing to store his dagger, the stuffies; etc.

I’d like to propose the: Octavian Belt item placement hc! Because that’s what it’s come to, anyways

The belt itself,

So; I have drawings (oh of course I have drawings) but I’d also like to explain. The belt itself is probably something like nemean lion hide leather, something that’d be expensive in the demigod world that stupid rich family of Octavian probably would get. It’s one of those like snap buckle(?) belts? The same type of buckle they hand you on like, amusement park rides (the ones that are like? Google is calling them side release buckles) but those. It’s for ease of like everything, so he can slip off his toga or slip off the belt quickly.

But anyways, here are my super duper cool accurate diagrams

Front is left; back is right. I drew these quickly so I apologize, but it gives the roughest of rough breakdowns. In my idea this is like a rough idea of what it could look like?

To his right would be three stuffed animals of anything really? There’s little loops (that I accidentally colored wrong-) that ribbon or rope or thread could be run through to tie the stuffed animals to the belt. I chose ribbon for the drawing because (I like bows) I just wanted to have some fun. To the back would be one of those like belt pouches (I have one and they’re so fun-) and it probably holds stuff like gum, those the alcohol wipes you use once you get a cut(?) and like emergency tiny spool of thread and some needles. Then we get to the sheath for his dagger and, I have no idea how that would be properly strapped in, but for the reasons of the concept sketch it’s simply just like; wrapped together. Finally is the hand sanitizer; my boy can’t do thinking about getting sick or dirty things in general, totally carries some really quick disinfecting stuff on him.

Okay this was a random post but I hope if was super fun; I am going to go to be now so I hope all a good night!

can u guys rb this n add how you crack your eggs in the tags? i thought cracking them in the sinks’s edge is universal until i saw my friend cracking an egg on the counter instead and it was so pervese and diabolical

I have a new character to make my obsession

Marcus the Triumvirate holdings one. I must know more about him, I have only read his description and he has captured my mind. Hand him over now.

He’s so silly and goofy. Hehehe

Octavian’s Auguraculum.

Okay!!! It’s been… a while, but my boy finally gets his Auguraculum!

I made the Auguraculum finally. It is SO historically inaccurate to actual Auguraculums; I’ll admit that. But an actual Auguraculum (aside from tabernaculum augurale. Which there is little information on from what I’ve tried to find) were well maintained thatched huts. Now, I didn’t want to give him a downgrade so instead…

Here is the Final(ish) art for the outside and the Dias of the Auguraculum! The uh, inside is pretty interchangeable, there’s a lot of like, bookshelves and tables and stuffed animals and space. Seeing as it’s also the like general area where the legion is gathers at times (This is taken from Tabernaculum augurlae; which was a part of the military camps and would be the religious and legal center for Camp Jupiter. Temples get to be for the New Rome citizens.)

But uh, I based it off of things like the Parthenon, and also just old Greco-Roman buildings? It’s fantasy and again, I wanted to give my guy an interesting looking building.

Now the literal and figurative centerpiece of this fictional building is that Dias and the glass dome. As my scribbles say the Dias is on a sort of like magic pulley system? It is hooked up to a loop up in the glass dome and then twists back down to a side where the Rope/Chain/whatever is stored when the thing is pulled up, idk that’s a lot of specifics that I might not specifically know but the essentials are that the Dias can move up closer to the Glass dome to view birds more easily; also to get away from annoying people who keep storming in while you try to do your job :3

As I said a couple times, it is not actually historically accurate to any Auguraculum I could find, however I think it looks nice and it’s a good setting for stuff and it gets rid of the stupid temple hill-

But uh, yeah sorry this is so short lol. I really like the design I finished with, also for all purposes of saving my hand and fine liner; I made the columns Doric, know that in actual like everything they would be Corinthian columns (the ones that look like they have leaves). The Auguraculum is also very close to the Principa, and it still has the stones where the prophecies are carved in. They’re on the Dias and quite possibly are being carved into the tiles beyond that. Uh also there’s a lot of plants and drapery and fabrics on the ceilings; partially to hide the whole pulley stuff, partially just because it looks cool.

Uh, okay. It’s really cold and I’m shaking right now but I have to go memorize my lines, also sorry there is no finished-finished art but I’ve been in a digital art ‘slump?’ As of late, I’m figuring it out. (Also I’m running out of pages in my sketchbook-)

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

I drew art! Guys I did the thing. Well- I’m in the ever perpetual process of doing the thing but uhhhh,

It’s Mercury and Octavian :3. I’ve affectionately started calling them the Gaea duo and it was a little unintentional to make them together but uhhhh. Yeah! Soon I’ll get maybe Michael and Dakota done, we’ll see. I also have a little comic panel piece for a SoN scene in the works but hhhhhhh-

Also the Octavian one is… probably gonna be re-worked? I like having these pictures as a way to reference my designs for the characters (the Larry one I drew way back when is great). But I’m still working out how I want Octavian to Octavian so uh- yeah. Maybe his siblings will get something one day, like names.

Also tomorrow marks the day I’m forcing myself to sit down and read through the Dark prophecy (as much as I can get through, hopefully all of it because I know I can finish that book in a day *I did it with SoN and tLT to what’s one more?*) and that means Lit stuff.

I love the silly goofy goober. Also maybe Oracle things? The setup for things like Dadonna was interesting and maybe possibly I’ll try my hand at our villains for this arc (I don’t know but ToA Nero has a HOLD on me. Purely just for how silly goofy in the worst way but he like ahfoaksnejak- so excited to see Caligula and Commodus :3)

Or I’ll give up everything and then there will be probably Harley something. Or stuff about the Augurculanum because Octavian so deserved to have one and it’s so weird that he didn’t like omg-
