love and freedom don’t coexist, warden

[i-need-a-tlt-outlet]

I am going to try to move all of my art from other websites onto this blog so expect a lot of dumps--

here's the first of many! I will post a part two with more locked tomb art soon and link it here as well

I'm not obsessed with all of these but there are some that I am quite proud of

Thinking of… her… after a workout..

I feel like Camilla could fix my depression

Not even a year has passed, here is the design for Gideon

It's not as detail-heavy as Harrow because overall I had to read and learn more about weapons than clothes (which was fun)

Details as usual under cut

Warrior Saints in Orthodox Christian Iconography

Religious formations rarely had warriors in their ranks, but there are number of holy martyrs who are considered great warriors.

In icons these Saints are often shown holding crosses, a spear or sword, and wearing armor beneath a cloack of red, also representing martyrdom.

My desing has a little in common with there bc is canon she was never described as wearing any armor or colors besides black, but I will use that knowledge for future works...

The Cavaliers (17th Century)

Need to mention that Gideon title (even if it's not real) is Cavalier – this term refers to the Baroque period, when this class of people was most widespread.

Its cool concept and i have seen that other artist do but for my personal opinion that too fancy for Ninth House (I always feel that Gothic Period fit them more)

Medieval-like design

That design not historically accurate at all but ig I can made up some things for vibe or creativity since its fiction at furst place and sci-fi at the second

Swept-hilt Rapier

Rapiers evolved from knightly swords with the purpose of lightening the sword, protecting the hand and increasing the distance in combat

Tbh his is the most common rapier with a stylized pommel (i am not that smart to make my own) but learning new stuff was nice

Zweihänder (Two handed German Sword)

Zweihänder swords developed from the longswords of the Late Middle Ages and was used by the front ranks of the army to fought with and against pike formations.

I highly recommend watching this lady's channel that talking about history of cold weapon, armor and combat technics. Thats an treasury of knowledge.

Knuckle Knives

Furst of all i wanted to make an bagh nakh kind of knives (you can learn more about it from this post), but in book its described as knuckles with three fixed blades protruding from the back (which is not really useful in a real combat as far i know but okay its just look cool)

Thats all thank you for your attention now i am going to watch second part of "How to train your Dragon" with ma bestie and two bottles of beer

The animatic I’ve been working on since last November is finally done!! Over 100 hours of work on this, much agony and tribulations, but it’s finally done.

You don't want to surprise Camille Hect in the dark.

I wanted to draw the scene in chapter 7 where gideon look at the first's planet and give herself a migraine!

[i-need-a-tlt-outlet]

[i-need-a-tlt-outlet]

thinking about this today

[i-need-a-tlt-outlet]

[i-need-a-tlt-outlet]

when you finish nona the ninth and realize that harrow the ninth was just this the whole time… every scene with the body is 100x funnier

[i-need-a-tlt-outlet]

Visually seeing Ulysses connected with Ulysses The First made me realize Jod probably named him that because he brought him back from the dead, JOURNEYED him back from The River (parallel to the ocean), if you will!

LOCKED TOMB CHARACTERS X CLASSICAL REFERENCES

explanations for parallels come from here and here

I know I spelt pelleamena wrong and missed off juno zeta btw but it was getting a bit crowded. I could also probably extrapolate more but it can stay like this for now

EDIT: BITS WOT I FORGOT AND ADDITIONS FROM TAGS:

@mayasaura makes a fantastic point about the treatment of gideon's body by BOE being almost identical to the treatment of hector's by achilles, down to animals refusing to touch it and it not rotting or tearing because of divine intervention. hence there should be a light blue line between gideon and hector. this hadn't ocurred to me is and is v cool, here is their post on it (the original asker's point about harrow and priam is also v good)

@iamanoccasionaldoodler points out that Pyrrha is named after Achilles directly, given the 'Achilles taking the name of Pyrrha while on Skyros avoiding the war' thing; I did just forget to draw the line here sorry lol it was in my post! also the tags about camilla and hector... no you're right. they feel so similar, there has to be something.

@zombified-queer mentions I left out dios apate; bugger it, so I did lmao. I was focusing mostly on characters but that's such a big one! in the iliad it's the deception of zeus, hera's plan to distract him by seducing him so that the greeks can regain the upper hand. in harrow the ninth, as we know, it's... not dissimilar! both times in fact it is very similar!

I did also forget Juno Zeta I know, but as it currently stands I don't really know if it has any narrative significance...? Maybe.

I also realised I forgot Protesilaus, god damn it

[i-need-a-tlt-outlet]

Wow. Just wow.

[i-need-a-tlt-outlet]

I made an obviously TLT themed blog and immediately got messaged by a mental health bot. Guess I'm in the right place then.

[i-need-a-tlt-outlet]

So i was looking at @cutetanuki-chan's Anastasia x Alecto art and something hit me like a train!

Jod said Harrow's parents did an actual resurrection by sacrificing the 200. At first I thought the obvious: Harrow is somehow the amalgamation of those 200.

Then, after reading some of ya'll's brainrots here, I though maybe Harrow is the resurrection of The Moon, hence her insane love for The Earth. Would explain her insane necro power too and doesn't fall into the problem that resurrection needs an insane sacrifice to happen and as far as we know that input cannot also be the ouput (aka the 200 cannot become Harrow, they are only the fuel to "resurrect" Harrow).

But then this new train hit me in the head and now I think she might even be a resurrection of Anastasia! THINK ABOUT IT!

They are both insane, so much that the other Lyctors literally called Harrow a second coming of Anastasia

Explains Harrow's extreme necro power and being an absolute natural with necromancy from an impossibly young age

WHAT ELSE explains that Harrow could bypass all the wards of The Locked Tomb?? Sure, she's a genius and a prodigy, but would that alone be enough to bypass things made a Lyctor?? At that age and having studied only from the Drearburh libraries??? Maybe... But Anastasia DESIGNED The Locked Tomb, so OF COURSE her reincarnation could figure out how to break into it!

Anastasia died inside The Locked Tomb, so her remains were on Pluto when Harrow's "resurrection" happened

So much of these books is about love. What if Anastasia loved Alecto and even after her death, after being resurrected 10 000 years later, she still loves her??

And my last point is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
