#Hand-Drawn Mythology

[artbynestor]

"Ancient Gods" by Nestor

This ink-colored hand-drawn dark art design illustrates an ancient god, a skeleton-like winged creature, rising from the bowels of the earth. The contrast between the dark, ominous figure emerging from below and the serene beauty of a castle in a green valley above the surface creates a powerful visual narrative. The piece symbolizes the hidden forces beneath the surface of beauty, blending dark mythology with surreal contrasts.

A-Qing, the little fox.

Skuld, Norn of the Future. Complete with digital guitar, hoverboard, her cat and seal plushies, and the biggest amplifier. The noisier the better. Late teens, hates never being allowed to grow up due to embodying the concept of the Future. Feels Urth babies her too much but likes getting stuff from her, think Verthandi's totally lame.

You can read Verthandi in the Middle on Tumblr and Sufficient Velocity

The second wave of Lesbos

(Get it? 'Cause Lesbos is a greek island and the word lesbian comes from it! Also 'cause since it's an island it has waves... that's it)

Did a draw of Athena, mostly inspired by epic the musical

GO FASTER.

[arlequinelunaire]

Did a solo black and white drawing of Urth since I realised she was the only Norn I hadn't done one for. Though I added a splash of red since that always stands out nicely in monochrome pictures. I tried to capture her looking more severe compared to my past drawings of her.

I lengthened her hat after being inspired by The Alchemist in Holy Mountain. Those webs or 'threads of fate' above her were inspired by, for something completely different, the 'spaghetti webbing' Todd McFarlane brought to Spiderman.

Also added some old Norse touches, like the belt hanging down and the rows of beads. The runes at the bottom are meant to read 'Yggdrasil'

1st sketch of my favourite Greek lovers

Bold Hyacinth was quickly felled

as two were playfully playing

His love, Apollo, shed true tears

for the accidental slaying

In Hyacinth’s dying moments

Apollo wished mortality

But Gods of Greece are limited

When death comes unexpectedly

Hyacinth’s blood bloomed a flower

More beautiful than any other

Even Aphrodite paled beside

Apollo’s dead flower lover

Apollo mourned him truly

Man to blossom he did pass

In radiant purple petals

He’d written out the word ‘alas’
