It was very fun to draw Dionysus cuz I love drawing wavy hair and it easy to work with purple color for me. I wanted to capture him being god of wine and madness at the same time, so I gave him cool neon make up💅💅💅
Also wanna thank you all for kind words about my art!!!! It makes my day brighter to know that y'all like it😭💜💜💜
