Day 17: Atalanta

day 17: Atalanta

only 4 prompts behind now wohoo! honestly i’m just hoping i can get caught up before October 31st so i can end the challenge off on the day it’s meant to be ended off

BUT YIPPEEE ATALANTA

her expression is a bit wonky but eh

as for her design, it isn’t historically accurate but i kinda wanted to make her a bit more masc presenting! on Ælian’s various histories if said she was “masculine and fierce”.. granted i also missed the part where it said she was blonde-

anyhow she’s very nifty shame she got turnt into a lion

Day 15: Prometheus

!!WARNING FOR EYE STRAIN!!

ALRIGHT GANG STILL BEHIND BUT TRYING TO CATCH UP

HOPEFULLY I CAN DO CIRCE, ATALANTA, PHAEDRA, AND SISYPHUS TOMORROW! granted i am busy tomorrow so

ANYHOW TO THE DRAWING

IM REALLY PROUD OF THIS! IT LOOKS TERRIFYING AND THST WAS THE GOAL

i’m ngl i struggled with the expression, BUT IT TURNT OUT OK!

NOW FOR HIS DESIGN

didn’t feel like drawing clothes so he gets scarf. /j and cement block. i thought it’d be funny to give him red hair cause of the fire association

OH AND the orange splotches are inspired by the markings of fire salamanders! while those don’t have an association to Prometheus, salamanders are correlated with fire! this is due to Salamanders hiding in rotten tree logs, which would then be used for firewood, and the salamander would escape from the log- but, it kinda just appeared like the salamander spawned out of the fire!

he was kinda fun to draw! i’d like to draw him again some day!

yeah this is funny

Kinda feel like there's some untapped meme/reaction image potential from old horror movie trailers...

gotta add sleeping Odysseus to the drawing agenda

I need to go back to draw Odysseus napping constantly he deserves it

Telemachus augh. he’s so silly /pos

uhh older telemachus idea?? i like it but he still looks funny

day 19: Sisyphus

design of Hermes (in background) by @wolfythewitch

THIS WAS FUN TO DRAW

Sisyphus is absolutely hilarious to me like. went “hey bro can i see how the Chains of Death” work and then managed to cheat death. cheated death twice. iconic.

one of my favorite myth characters simply in the way of sure he was a bad person and an idiot but he was funny about it

i had fun drawing the skeleton! it’s not accurate it’s just scribbles

on his design

idk man i just threw together some stuff and called it a day

nearly made him blonde as i’ve drawn one singular blonde for this entire drawing challenge. but alas it didn’t look right

back on ClassicsTober. yeah i doubt i’m gonna finish it during the month of October. i’m gonna draw all the prompts! i’m just gonna finish it in early November

yes i know this means i failed the challenge but im just here for vibes
