#AthenaDTIYSmircsy

[tenoart]

Changed up a few things so it fit my style better buts yippieee it's done

If you're in the epic server and saw this already ty for getting it on the starboard twice lmao

[mircsy]

I have a challenge… A test of skills… EPIC!Athena Draw This In Your Style, as promised🙂‍↕️

Use #AthenaDTIYSmircsy so I can see it if anyone decides to draw this beast of a drawing LMAO

NO deadline (and doesn’t need to be the exact same pose)

And something else…

EPIC: The Musical is the example of what people are capable of if they work together with respect, understanding, love and support. With these aspects people are able to build the world Athena wonders about if it would be possible to ever exist.

The fact that one person’s dream, Jorge’s, could grow and keep blooming is majestic and mind-blowing, and the project had great impact on many many many people already, including me too.

Throughout the three years I’ve been following the amazing process and releases, EPIC gave me plenty of memories, knowledge, better understanding of others and myself, and a direction where to take my future thanks to this rare opportunity to work on official animatics for songs, which I am so deeply grateful that there are no words for it in any languages. This musical truly pulled me out of a deep, dark pit…

But that’s not all. Thanks to EPIC I got to know many incredible people, starting from some of the cast members, to other composers, to other artists, to people who like the kind of art I do, to true friends. Every second with these people is a bliss and pleasure.(I wish I could tag you all but you are so freaking many😭🫶)

Again, I’m just grateful we can experience this together! See you in future projects, since with the Ithaca Saga released, the journey truly begins now…

My entry on @mircsy 🥰👌🏻🦉🏛️

[queen-of-dogs-01]

Here's the deal, I did a dtiys for @mircsy a while ago but I tagged it wrong and even after reblogging it with the right tag it still didn't show up so I'm just posting this again

Og under cut

Don't ask me how I did it – I just did it – it was hard.

Late, late entry for @mircsy's 'draw this in your style'-challenge #AthenaDTIYSmircsy

That is as far as I got. So far. Might do reworks later. Actually my first DTIYS - never did one before, but I see the fun in it now. No, really, it was a lot of fun, I learned a ton with this, even if I'm not fully convinced of the result.

Also, when I saw mircsy post it, that was an 'immediate HELL, YES'-moment, because I love her art and designs so so so much. Her Polyphemus is who ultimately sold EPIC to me after a total of 3 seconds screentime. I am seriously amazed at the quality all artists and animators produce for the musical accompanying it on its journey to release, but mircsy's art was special.

👀 more yapping, WIPs and progress notes below 👀

It made me want to draw characters again, brought the fun back to drawing and painting for me, and somehow invited me put them out there, again - I can't put a lot of time into it, but I missed this as a joyful hobby and just watching the animatics breathed life back into it for me. So, this lil dtiys entry is a big heartfelt thanks for a nudge I bloody well needed.

So - if you ever read this, mircsy: Rock it all as hard as you can, superstar, make your mark and just enjoy the ride - you're cut out for it! ✨🎆 Wish you the very best for all your endeavours. 💜✨

Progress notes: I tried to challenge myself with this and do stuff out of my comfort zone (*cough* cell shade *cough*). A few things went well, and I am proud of those (metal parts, hands, wings, lineart, i finished it under 5 hours total, stars were fun) and other things I'll need to practise more (soft light + cell shading wtf was I thinking 🙈, glowy stuff, ornaments, less perfectionism, line dynamics, took more time out of me than expected ... (we don't talk about facial expression ahahaha its a nightmare 🙊 i really need to learn how to shade and light these kinds of angles omg 😨)).

As you can see above - the glowy stuff gave me the hardest nightmares, I had no fucking clue how to do that - that was fun, but also took so much time to figure out. Once I had a concept, it went down fast, but up until then... bzzzzzt braindefunct - it's inspired by the Antikythera Mechanism in the end, so Athena can make complicated astronomical calculus while in quick thought to see where Ody ended up.

... her mouth changes in every single picture... 😭🙈

My entry for this dtiys challenge by one of my favorite artists @mircsy I had so much fun doing this challenge, and I always love ur amazing art!🥰

[thestarryfalls]

I'm actually really proud of this!

Hope y'all like it!

[the-infamous-odysseus]

I decided to join @mircsy's Athena DTIYS (I was too impatient to wait for my digital pen so I used fingers) (after all I sold my soul to finish this piece) *cough* ANYWAY I had a lot fun with it 💙

You gotta forgive me the poor quality

[podsn]

I decided to do @mircsy DTIYS challenge!

I decided to do this is my Athena design with different elements of the original and Mircsy’s own design.

It’s kinda funny tho cuz I tried a new style of rendering for something that’s supposed to be done in my style lol. This was fun tho and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I stayed up all night to do this too 😭 I didn’t realize what time it was when I finished.

[idrawbadart]

@mircsy

My attempt at drawing this in my own style. I'm still new to digital art but i learnt a lot while working on this. :)

It's very similar to the original art but my style isn't too different from mircsy's.

[branches-and-thorns]

Mircsy you were not wrong when you called this a beast. But it was so fun to do (even if I had to change a few things) and I’m so proud of this! Not bad for my first DTIYS :)

[mircsy]

SO BADASS

Decided to finally do a DTIYS challenge, so here's my entry for @mircsy

[hunterofartemis7]

My attempt at drawing Athena in my style.

[queen-of-dogs-01]

Damn I forgor to tag properly

After being too busy to draw for weeks, I finally finished the DTIYS by @mircsy and it looks like I went WAY overboard
