Alright, first pinned post about Epic Art let's gooooo-

I'm finally done, after agonizing hours, I did it

Behold the baby kelpie, Poseidon

(the line art is in color because I don't like black line art-)

Edit: tweaked the design to add more black gradient, not much but just cause his neck being black felt out of place..

Zeus design

Hera design

I WILL GIVE YOU MY FIRST BORN (husband's cat) FOR SOME MORE DIONYSUS

Welp, his cat now. I think he’ll name it Wiggles.

Finally made a Dionysus design! Explanations below the cut

In some myths Dionysus spends some time in India / Egypt, so I drew his outfit to be an antariya from the Vedic age (1500 BCE), which was around the time the Odyssey takes place (Mycenaean Era - 1600 - 1100 BCE)

His hair was inspired by a lion’s mane, and the long braid acts like a tail - so it sways and flicks based on his mood. He also has ears hidden somewhere in that fluffy mane LMAO

I gave him horns because two of his sacred animals are bulls and goats :)

He has rosettes patterned on his shoulders, face and back, though it tapers off near his hips. Leopards are one of his sacred animals too!

He has bangles from the Vedic age as well as beads and jewelry from the Mycenaean era. The serpent armband is also because it is a sacred animal to him too.

I made the beads colored in reference to the transgender flag because he’s a queer icon!!!

The belly piercing and grapes were just because of the parasites telling me to do so

If you have any other questions my ask box is open 👀

He's so small 🛐

"... I was TRYING to be intimidating-"

your odysseus has plagued my brain and i need to squeeze him!! also man its so silly looking at all the kitty posts

just a kitty <3

Ooga booga?

Yes

Been a hot minute since I posted

I have come up with a second design!!

Meet the golden kid Zeus-

Big thanks to @bigidiotenergytm for helping me figure out some parts of his design, I fr owe you here omg

New animatic is out! And there are little sneaky peaks of Conan in here too!

Dang it, why is Max asleep when I need him

So after pondering for a bit how can I make my kelpie more original than "a little bit of every Poseidon" (because that feels like I'm stealing) I decided: "to hell with it". So now to make him a bit more distinct I'm adding one of my favorite things in character design: a hair fade.

I wanted to make him have color changing hair but after seeing Messy-Moon already use that idea I sat in my chair to really think about it. So I came up with making my Poseidon blonde with a fade to light blue, to make it kinda look like calm water fading into the beach sand if you know what I mean???

Anyways I'm cooking a digital design-
