#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.

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)

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’

2 / 545 - one flower a day

Bay was first an herb of poets, but also of oracles, warriors, statesmen, and doctors. The leaves were made into wreaths for illustrious poets and the ancients used them to crown heroes.

Bay laurel was the symbol of wisdom, both acquired and intuitive.

I know it's technically not a flower, it's one of my favorite herbs so It needed a honorific mention here

Another shot of Skuld hoverboarding, but with more work on her pose this time. Those pillars were inspired by a skate park in Stockholm

A Series: Greek Gods

Nyx is the Greek personification of the night. She is part of the primordial deities mentioned in Hesiod's Theogony. Together with Erebos, personification of darkness, she gave birth to Hemera, the personification of the day, and Aether, personification of the bright sky.

Her other children included Nemesis, goddess of retribution, Hypnos, god of sleep, Thanatos, god of death, Eris, goddess of discord, and several others.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

In Orphic literature she delivers prophecies to Zeus and is often called nurse of the gods; that is where he epithet trophos comes from. Apart from that there is little known about her appearance as well as her cult. Her symbols include black animals such as roosters, bulls and sheep.

NEW CHARACTER!!!

Maddi: she/they Demi girl Even though she's more than a thousand years old she's still pretty much a 19 year old. She is one of the five mythical creatures that was captured and imprisoned. She usually has to wear a cap and a blind fold while being tied up as there afraid they'll hurt them even though they don't want to hurt anyone. She used to be friends with Mist before she escaped.
